Title: One second game freezes - who's getting them?
Post by: Wally on January 25, 2017, 08:04:20 AM: On TeamSpeak, a few people said they were getting game freezes for a second. I've been getting them for 3 or 4 weeks now, once a race, where the visuals stop, but the sound continues, and suddenly the game wakes up with your car about 1 second down the road.

Who else gets this? Or has just started getting this? If we can get enough common evidence together, I want to post a thread about it on the support forums.

I have Windows 10 and an Nvidia 980. I guess that's all that's significant, OS wise. What about others?

It is either a sudden freeze of a second or a very slow stuttering (like two shorter freezes) for a total of a second. Typically it is in the first few minutes (2? 5?) after starting a practice or joining a server.

I am Win10 Nvidia 980 as well.

Post by: Bruce on January 25, 2017, 10:56:53 AM: I often get a freeze early on in the game, win 7 Nvidia latest driver (older card ??? )
I have narrowed it down to:
immediately starting game after bootup
If I have time, task manager displays steam or ac using a lot of cpu doing IO

I work around it.

I have reset the memory sticks, graphics card and this has removed the earlier and additional bigger problem, of blue screen or CTD.

Post by: Joe on January 25, 2017, 02:51:08 PM: I know this has been mentioned before but has everyone who is getting this issue tried turning off all of the apps. I believe apps can still run in the background so you need to disable them all in the settings menu.

Post by: Wally on January 26, 2017, 10:35:00 AM: I've reapplied my CPU thermal paste, and that brought the loaded temps down about 20°, from 80° to 60°. The "safe" temp for my CPU is 72°, so hopefully that makes some difference.
