Freezes in game 2-3 secs

[MtnMan01]

I have been having this problem since release,,

When the game is opened up, and you are in the game selection screen
(Multi-player/options/single player). The game/screen/mouse pointer will freeze for ~2-3 seconds. Not a problem there.

Now this is random in game, and it does it constantly every ~3-5 mins, bang screen freezes for ~2-3 seconds(no sound/movement/nothing).

Its like the game keeps going(behind the screen freeze) with my player if I keep my movement key depressed.My player has moved ahead 10-20 feet when(all I see is the frozen player/game on my screen,no movement/nothing)Than the game will start again. n usually I'm dead.

(i.e.Another persons POV in game sees me constantly moving forward over 20 seconds. Now From my point of view for 17-18 seconds I see myself going forward than the freeze happens for 2-3 seconds.)

So the freeze that happens when the opening screen appears to choose multi player is transfered into my game.

This happens every few minutes, I have tried everything to over come, but to no success. I remember it did the same thing in RO but the micro freeze was .3 -.5 seconds.That was never a problem.

Other than that game runs fine.
I hope the explaination is clear with my prob,,this can get frustrating
when playing. Now when I see it happening(micro freeze) I take my hands off keyboard n usually have moved forward a few feet when game continues.

My guess is it's an internet connection problem. Does it do this in single player? What kind of net connection do you have, is it DSL or cable, wireless or not, shared with other computers in your home etc, all this would help with diagnosing the problem, as well as your system specifications.

I have seen the same problem. It is sound related. And on some russian servers it is always to have the soundhangs..

[MtnMan01]

My internet connection is Cable/DSL ~ 30Mb download
Upload @~ 2.8 Mb/hard wired in. No other computers.

Sound was RealTec Audio, uninstalled just running windows sound
to see if it would fix the problem, no go.

It doesn't happen with any other game single player or online.
I never played HOS single just the training.I will try training again,

I did a search n come up with a couple interesting finds with a windows7 Audio update that was introduced a couple years ago which was a process(audiodg.exe)
From 1 forum when i did a search:

*(audiodg.exe - performance alert -high cpu load)
Upgraded my pc from vista to Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
When playing mahjong.exe game I always get the following alert from Norton 360 v5 :
7/1/2011 7:30 AM,Info,High CPU usage by: Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation(program Description)
Program path: c:\windows\system32\audiodg.exe, cpu at least 99%
Checked Taksmanager and memory usage was more that 85%.
******
I strongly suspect 1 or 2 of 3 things.,,
Game engine how it handles sound:
Microsoft n how it interacts with RealTec Sound Codec Drivers:
or vice versa:
Microsoft says its a RealTec problem;
RealTec says it's a Microsoft problem with its Vista/Win7 OS

Oh well the beat goes on,,

As there are other RealTec issues with the game (I think it involves Punkbuster?), my money is on it being a RealTec issue.

Just for giggles, have you tried playing on non-punkbuster servers to see if you experience the same issue?

Yes Floyd did that,,play on 2FJg mostly ,PB is disabled there. What I do is after the game starts I ctrl/alt/delete out. Than start task manager stop all instances of(PB) than go back into game,,

I hit the Tilde ~ button,I read no PB heart beat detected, so I assume that PB is complete off. But it still happens,,oh well that's they way she goes,,

When It hits my eyes snap open wide, I mumble oh Sh*t!!!/crap!!. Than when the freeze ends I try n figure out where I ended up at, usually out in the open/exposed,in no mans land

I usually trying hard/scrambling like crazy to get back to cover. Most times there's a round traveling thru my head. If I'm lucky when the freeze Hits/Ends I am face planted/kissing a wall. It does keeps things interesting,,lol

Thx Floyd for throwing that idea my way anyways,, here's to you,,, cheers
