I didn't until I read this, then I had 2 in a row.
Game freezing spontaneously from anywhere upto 20 seconds at a time?
- Thread starter Miko
- Start date
I encountered one of these today as well, I was advised by friend to just wait it out, as he had encountered it before too and then game unfroze automatically, and sure enough some 20 seconds later, the game unfroze and I back in action, killing pirates.
OP -yes
Yep, I've had this a couple of times. First time was dropping out of hyperspace - the game just froze. Came back up after about 20 seconds.
Second time I'd just quit the FSS, similar thing, maybe came back a bit quicker.
I'm going to hop on today and see if I can reproduce it.

i had it once, thought at the time it might have been because i had been tinkering with my graphics card memory settings.
however if other people are getting this symptom sounds like there could be an issue.

I had exactly thiese symptoms in VR last night. it occured when I was searching for extra squadrons, so I assumed that it was simply lag from the server whilst finding the infromation.... but maybe it wasn't.
There is a PC bug report thread here:

Anyone reporting it on other platforms will need to make a separate post in the appropriate forum but if you mention the PC bug report thread then Support should recognise that and use it to help them sort out what is going wrong.

This is happening for me too, only since 3.3 on two different pcs with different hardware. Exactly as described, 10-20 seconds total pause, fans spin down to nominal, then everything wakes up again and we carry on as normal. What is interesting though, is that no other game assets (NPCs, or anything) have moved in the meantime. It's almost like the time is being literally lost from the game.
No alt tab or CTRL+ALT+DEL is possible while this is going on, it hard locks the CPU threads for the duration of the glitch. Task manager log shows no spikes of anything during these episodes and in fact, shows everything to lull to zero activity for the duration (could be part of the bug or the way it's locking CPU resources).
Just as a by the way to anyone who said they have this in multiple games, you guys have a cooling problem. You're welcome!
FD, please fix this, at first I thouht it was my screen recording software, but it still happened when disabled, that was when I became convinced its a new game feature and not something wrong with my equipment. Cheers!

This is not related to the OP unless I'm missing something...

It's not Win10, it's this game.
I haven't had it happen since the patch, but I only played 2h yesterday which isn't enough to draw any conclusions.
So I'm guessing this hasn't been fixed yet?

No, it's hasn't been fixed. Happened to me again yesterday, after the patch.
I played Solo this morning, but did not have a problem.
Last night I played in a wing with my son in a conflict zone, he was on another computer next to me. Twice he would hang for 10-20 seconds, then I would hang for the same. It was funny watching his ship continue in the same direction with his beam laser sticking out of the front like a lance. He would then rubberband back to where he was.
Not seen this problem before 3.3 release Our computers are old, so we can not update the AMD display drivers if we wanted to.
