RES Sites Game Freezing?

Genxav · Jan 4, 2016

Hello everybody, is anybody experiencing game freezing after around 1 hour+ of gameplay while RES hunting? Usually happens for me on RES(High) when there are lots of big ships spawning

Feels very random.

So far on my PC

No overheating CPU or GPU. on RES rings GPU is usually 65c or less.
Not running out of RAM or VRAM

At the moment of freezing the RAM was at 2.5gb and Vram at 1.6gb

Its getting annoying because it happens very often now.

Before Horizons the game ran with no problems.
After horizons, it only started happening at least for me after the 2.0.2 i believe.

Specs

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 10586)

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.9GHz
NVIDIA GTX 770 2GB
16GB RAM
Current nVidia Drivers version 361.43

Some of us have opened tickets on the freezing issue, but FD might think they fixed it. Please submit a ticket too. The 1 hour RE freeze is ongoing.

I've noticed this as well in a particular High Res zone while flying my Anaconda. I've had it occur up to four time a day, but I've not locked it down to a particular time frame or length of time in.

Ive seen it too- often seems to be related to lots of particles flying around (like 3 PAC hits on anaconda as its firing chaff)

Happens in conflict zones, too (also during times of "lots of stuff going on")

I submitted ticket as well. Never happened in season 1

This has happened to me also, several times.

Same here!! Always freezes with a attack of a anaconda or a clipper.

Happens to me as well, around the 45ish min mark. Have sent a ticket to support, hope they can look into this soon.

Maybe you should tell what kind of GPU you use.
I use a GTX980 and have none of thease issues with everything on Ultra or high in 1080p.

DITTO - and when in a wing the other player locks up too. Lock-up generates a crash report if you wait a while.

Had this myself after the update 2.0.2 upgraded the graphics driver and all is well so far

It was freezing after an hour's use in res zones normally as I'm attacking ships and close up.
Every night for a few weeks. But since updating (actually think it was a reinstall as driver dates were similar)
It's been fine for the last week.

(Keeps fingers crossed)

I got a couple of freezes in RES sites the other day too, thought it was perhaps having the wrong drivers after installing a GTX980Ti replacing a 970 (didn't re-intall new drivers, thought they might have been the same, very lazy). Have done fresh drivers now but if I continue to get freezes (alt+tab and task manager is only way to shut game down incidentally) I'll send in a ticket too.
