Screen Freeze in-game
Hi all,
First post to see if anyone else has this problem. At a seemingly random time in-game, the screen will freeze. The game is still running, the sound is working fine, I can fire bullets, rev up and down, but the screen is frozen. I can quit the game using ctrl-alt del, or I can shift-tab out of it to the desktop, but if I then shift-tab back in the screen is still froze, although it will be stuck on the desktop image then. This can be in solo gameplay or multiplay (shout out to the ATAG server junkies).
Having had it happen a few times, it seems to happen when large amounts of data are being loaded into memory - if I look over my shoulder and a large forest comes into view, it can happen. If I'm flying low over the sea and the shoreline appears it can happen. Occasionally I get a stutter when encountering these things - from a split-second stutter to a second-long stutter - occasionally they just freeze.
I'm running an i7 2600K, overclocked to something reasonable (just using the Asus 'turbo' option in the bios), 16Gb of RAM, a 2Gb 560Ti, running the game from an OCZ Agility 3 disk. This happens with the visual settings on full, high or medium - it seems to be this loading of data issue rather than the quality of the visuals. Even on maximum settings the framerate seems decent though - I've never really had cause to complain about that.
Anyone seeing the same?
