Anyone else having the game freeze on them? As in the graphics freeze, but the sounds keep playing. I can alt-tab out to other programs - at first, it still keeps ED in the foreground, then it switches. Once it switches to another app, I can switch back and them is humming along right where I left off. This started this morning and then shortly there after, kicked out by server (at same time others reported).
Now it's doing the freeze/unfreeze thing again here and there. Really unnerving.
Not exactly same. but then i am on windows 10 and i have this issue with EVERYTHING at some point, firefox or chrome, it seems more common with a fullscreen app (that is a true one; not one like fifa that pretends to be fullscreen but is really borderless windowed maxed). you get everything freeze like a task in windows just started and is hogging all the cpu. sometimes you get a little sound like its finishing playing a segment of audio, then that stops. you can alt tab - but only to task view. when you let go it stays there OR it can go back to the fullscreen game you alt tabbed out of, still frozen. sometimes you cant even alt tab. Win key tab will sometimes bring up a second desktop but the first will still be frozen. ctrl alt del will bring up the blue screen but if you try to select task manager to see what if anything is hogging the cpu, it either wont open until everything unfreezes, or it opens blank with no information showing - until everything unfreezes.
and then suddenly after a random time of up to a minute it will all work again, and your alt tab that didnt work will probably get you killed unless you were logged out by the other end of the game connection.
and i cant figure out whats doing it. i cant even make guesses. it happens with all games and applications not just elite. fifa doesnt do it... well not in the same way. sometimes you will be playing and the commentary stops but you can still play the game until it comes back. but if you pause the menu wont come up, and it will go screensaver mode after a while and then eventually when the 'oress any key' come up the fifa freeze is over. or if you kept playing the game, suddenly the commentary it SHOULD have played then plays out of the right place. so you get the goal commentary when no goal has been scored in the time since it stopped...
its frustrating. right now windows 10 notepad is bugged even - word wrap DOESNT. it will wrap in the middle of words. but it worked fine until 1809 and the only change i can see apart from the bug is they added to edit menu 'search with bing.' which is redundant since you can type in the search box on the task bar to search with bing, and are probably more used to doing so.
i blame windows. and microsoft. just been disconnected for no reason again.
