FDev, when will you fix the freeze ups since Q4? Seriously wound up now.

In SC, nothing happening. Game decides to freeze the screen again. At least twenty seconds this time it feels like. When it unfroze, I have FSD failure, interdicted without my knowledge by two players in cobras who are already dropping shield killing mines all around me.

There are glitches I can tolerate and others that screw the player over royally. This one is unacceptable since Q4. I would have hoped this patch today addressed this one but I guess not, sadly.

Any word on whether this is even being looked into?

What platform? Could it be a network issue since you were being (successfully) attacked in Open? Have you submitted a bug report containing this info plus a dxdiag if PC?

People across every platform has reported this. But FD having not addressed it already makes me sad since there's not even a whisper from them on whether we can expect to see this resolved soon or not.

That was one situation where it could have had me killed had it not unfroze when it did.

Yup, I still had two of these 15 to 20 second hangs during the couple hours I played this morning after the patch supposedly contained all kinds of stability fixes.

Do keep in mind there are two related issues, one seemingly an issue within ED, another with Gaming Mode update on Win10. So if you're on PC, make sure that is disabled for ED.

I've had a few hangs when jumping, with most of them resolving themselves without crashing. I suspect it's a combination of server load (currently 9.5k on Steam alone) and all the new data being passed back and forth. I'm sure they'll sort it out. No point getting all upset about it, won't solve anything.

Yup can confirm, has happened to me at least a half dozen times. Last time was in a CZ fighting another ship.

My game mode in Win10 is/was turned on. I turned it off and will report back if I am still getting freezes.

For me, those freezes seem to lock up everything. Even NPCs. Nothing moves for a while and then everything just continues as normal. It's been happening to me on PC and PS4

Windows updated automatically for me, seems i couldn't put it off anymore, can you provide a little more info on how to disable this gaming mode update for ED?

I've also noticed this since the 3.3 update. Happened to me a couple of hours ago during an interdiction. It's not limited to this, I've also had this during a mining session. Everything in solo on PC.

It's happened to me a few times as well. Never crashed, just a freeze up for several seconds then back to normal.

I thought "that's odd," then went on with what I was doing, not even thinking of it again until seeing this thread.

Now I'm irate!

Enable (and disable) Game Mode
You can also force Game Mode on in specific games, whether they're tested by Microsoft or not. To do this, you need to use the Windows 10 Game Bar.

  1. Inside your game, press Windows Key + G to open the Game Bar.
  2. This should release your cursor. Now, find the Game Mode icon on the right side of the bar as shown below.
  3. Click to toggle Game Mode on or off.
  4. Click on your game or press ESC to hide the Game Bar.

Not exclusive to any event in the game except playing it. But happening in SC right as I got unknowingly interdicted and then engaged, only for it to unfreeze when the attack was already happening. Man...

NPC's may freeze up, but in reality, they shouldn't unless all players are frozen, which wasn't the case with my attackers here.

I can confirm this happens to me to.
Everything freezes for 10-15 seconds.
I'm in solo far away from the bubble.

It happens rarely though.
Like once every 2-3 ingame hour or so.
