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

This is different from a crash or disconnect. With this you are just moseying along and everything just stops. Then 10-20 seconds later, everything starts again. So apparently the network is still talking as you don't time out. Seems to be random as well. Yesterday it happened to me twice while sitting in dock (different ones).

I think its your client image that freezes. I turned off the windows options for recording and screenshots (in the same game mode screen) and its only been a day, but no freeze ups.
 
This is unlikely to be anything platform-specific - the game itself is broken. These freezes also occur on the regular when playing the game on Linux through Wine, which doesn't have the usual garbage that causes spurious problems on Windows.

This is true. It has its own special supply of utter garbage instead.
 
The whole game is playing up with this update. I really had hoped FDev would surprise me this time but yet again they have released a dodgy update.

Playing on PS4. Framerate has become something terrible in some scenarios. The freeze ups are awful and the sound stutters cracks and pops of the past have returned. Marvelous work Fdev.

We can spend the next year filing the same old bug reports and then some... 🙄

This trend is becoming upsetting because the game is otherwise appealing.
 
sadly this trend continous in a downward spiral, yet everyone of us keeps there hope up, that they eventualy fix some bugs.

Try playing one (!) of the new features with another commander in a wing. The hole universe will collapse around you.
Before the last update we could still mine together, not anymore after the latest patch. So many bugs i realy have to start a list.
Yeah i will be using my precious free time to write bugs reports for a game which i love and spend quite some money on.

With every bit of time i "work" for you Frontier the less i like to "play" your game. Because i',m not sure anymore if can trust
your software or servers, to do what they should be. The constantly desynchronized instances, clearly shows, that the net code
is somewhat lacking?
 
I've been experiencing these 10-20 second freezes as well since the new update. I remembered that elite for whatever reason does NOT like an overclocked graphics card. I returned my card's values to stock levels and haven't gotten a freeze again. We'll see.
 
I never overclock and get them.

Had one yesterday while landing at a station I was pointing down toward the pad, too. Luckily it seems that my position stays the same during the pause. I was expecting to come back to shieldless banging into the pad.

They are so random or I'd get a movie of it happening. Kind of like the old days of garbage collection stopping your programs.

And yet we rush to their store to purchase the goodies they don't like to make unlockable in the game. It's no wonder they release buggy updates. We're mugs 😂.
 
I've had freezes at irregular intervals and they are sometimes followed by 'unable to connect to comms server'
 
Yep if you monitor the CPU usage and the EliteDangrous64.exe thread on the CPU you will see that the CPU usage will drop to near 0 and the thread is hung (Not responding) this last for 15-30 seconds each time it happens.
