These freezes are getting really annoying for me. When it freezes, it's impossible to it back to normal again. Alt-tabbing etc. also doesn't solve this. The only way is to end the process and rejoin. New NVIDIA drivers didn't improve anything.

I have a 760. I did a clean instal of the new driver and I still get a screen-freeze on the new map almost every time. I have to alt+tab out and re-enter the game then it is magically fixed. It does not happen again during the same match. This has never happened on any other map. The screen simply freezes, but I can still hear the audio. I press ESC, Alt+tab, click on the game again, fixed.

...

Process of elimination, IT'S RELATED TO YOUR MAP.

I've had this on Frozen City (dont recall if it was Day or Night), but more often it occurs on Mining Collective.

Disclaimer: I have not tried the latest driver and I have not emptied any cache folders recently.

With today's patch we rolled out some stealth fixes to Mining Collective specifically.

Please let me know if you see any change in the freezing on that map.

hmmmmmmm, I having some issues here myself. 16 fps, was running pretty smoothly provided I wasnt screen capping or running extra software. Also I'm having major mouse lag, IE: move mouse (just guessing here) 500ms later mouse moves and highlighted buttons sounds fire with graphic. Thats just in the mechlab. Same thing in matches. Also same result in testing grounds.

Mouse is logitech w/ gaming software v. 8.57.145

I will try the new drivers, with clean install. I guess ti could be my pc is about to blow up as it is pretty aged........But i suuuuure hope not.

It's getting worse for me, Alex.
Using the lastest nvidia drivers (344.65) not only did I experience screen freezes, but for the first time in years I had a bluescreen crash under Windows7. I also had the nvidia driver crash and recover one time, but I was able to continue to play.

I have almost the same issues. Althrough i had multiple driver crashes and recovers and after that i got a screen freeze. One time it was a bsod. This is got worser since 18.11.2014. The patch before has fixed the problem, but its here again.

I play at a laptop with extra coolerpad. The laptop has nvidia 555 and intel 4000 as OPTIMUS => the game runs on nvidia.
The repair tool didnt help.

[Budor]

It started freezing on other maps like river city and caustic too now. I can TAB out and in again but its annoying.

[AP514]

After last patch I now get overlay of MEKLAB while in game....(I see the mek standing in Meklab) It is transparent but still see it. I also see it in other modes...Example--Heat

Running SLI......had no troubles before the last patch/update.. Note updated my Drivers and patch at same time

PLS fix finnally this XXXX. Most funny thing is your Nvidia avertisment in this game

[Quicks]

This has been what 2 MONTHS now and its only getting worse !!!

Well, I updated to the newest driver yesterday, and I'm still having issues...

I've got an Nvidia GTX 570, and really often when I go to leave match, the game crashes to desktop with no error message. it's just gone.

ALso, a more recent development, occasionally when I start the game, after putting in my password and logging in, it crashes my graphics card. This actually produces an error message, seen below. This also royally screws up Firefox.

This exact issue has been happening to me as well. It's so bad I had to submit a ticket. I assume PGI is still looking into it but they haven't followed up with me for over two weeks even after repeated emails.

I have an nvidea gtx570 as well. I wonder if that is related to the issue somehow.

This happens to be my issue as well... all DX drivers updated... current... checked power leads and PCIx slot, all snug and fitted...

Running a Geforce GTX 660 Ti GPU, i7-3770k CPU, 8gb Gskill RAM, 750w Corsair PSU... basically... I can run Farcry4 without issue on it's highest settings... with MWO (using the settings Nvidia Experience claims are optimized)... I get this randomly...

The next time this does happen... I'm filing a support ticket because I've ruled out the basics troubleshooting this... Ever since the Nov 4th patch this happens at random. I am convinced it's MWO... not my hardware or software drivers.

[Ragnahawk]

I'm crashing in the middle of games. This never happened until that dreaded patch. I ran the repair tool, no fix.

[xeromynd]

It's back for me as well, freezing during the middle of matches. I assume it will crash, but CTRL-ALT-DEL usually works for me and then I hop right back into the game.

Reposting this fix some guys still having issues in mining colony I upgraded my video card but this helped fix my issues with the Nvidia driver and seen 2 guys tonight that need the help doing it:Namely the following :

Open up NVIDIA Control Panel
Manage 3D Settings
Program Settings
Select or add MechWarrior Online (mwoclient.exe)
Vertical Sync = Adaptive
Triple Buffering = On
One those settings seemed to fix my stability issues.

[TurkeyMcCoolRay]

I have been playing for over a year and have just now started to get these screen freezes over the past couple of months. Alt+Tab does not work for me, I have to close out the program and rejoin the game to get back. I do not know what has changed as I used to never have these problems, I do however use a Nvidia GPU.

Edited by Neovictorian, 05 December 2014 - 10:17 AM.

[Grendel408]

Finally did it... and only MWO does this. I don't get any other games that crash on my system.

CPU: i7 3770k, GPU: Geforce GTX 660ti, RAM: 8gb (2 4g sticks)Gskill Ripjaw Series, PSU: Corsair 750tx, Mobo: ASUS Z77-A, Win7x64 Ultimate... all drivers in PC up to date, no cooling issues.

[Vxheous]

I increased the core voltage to +12 mV through MSI afterburner for my GTX 770 Superclock, and that seemed to get rid of the freezing. My friend had the same freezing going on with his GTX 970 FTW, and he did the same thing with the voltage and now he's stable as well. I have had no issues with any other games prior to this one.

How many people are having this issue with factory overclocked Nvidia cards I wonder?

How to play MWO without Lags:

You have to force you're system to run on 100% power (CPU and GPU)

Don't know where the problem is but it must be something between MWO-Client, OS, and Bios.
The Communication is to slow between them.

Game needs Power -> signal to OS -> signal to Bios to power up the Turbo boosts -> Bios power up the clocks
But this took a while of maybe 0.1ms but tihs is enough to get a stutter/lag.

If you'r system run on 100% = no lags or stutter
Do you activated the powersaving things = lags + stutters + framedrops

Fixed all probles with MWO on 4 systems now...

PGI have to fix the codes... I don't want CW or smth other wanted content when we can't play it like it should..

Try applying the same settings in your NVIDIA Control Panel to the mwoclient.exe.
The mechwarrioronline.exe only handles the launcher client, so any settings applied to that executable won't affect the game performance.

Hmmm.. Have not had Screen Freezes in a while.
Currently on the 344.75 driver.

And I did completely reinstall MWO recently.
