Caput_58 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Hi, I've been playing steel beasts for a couple days on a 30-day license. I've noticed periodic performance stutters, perhaps every few minutes, with things freezing for 1-2 seconds. I've tried windowed, full screen, and windowed forced to full. I've also shut down a bunch of background programs with no joy. Using the debug tool, I see that the lag always occurs after WM_ACTIVATEAPP: 0x0 in the log. Any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caput_58 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 Disregard, I've just noticed that WM_ACTIVATEAPP: 0x0 correlates to me pausing SB to check the log file. <sigh> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted May 14, 2022 Members Share Posted May 14, 2022 Writing the AAR data to disk is done in a separate thread, so it "shouldn't" create a noticeable problem. But if it happens in regular intervals no matter what you do, that's still what I'd suspect first. If it happens whenever you move the free-flight camera at or near top speed, it might be a matter of the terrain paging. That "should" also not happen, but depending on the amount of available video RAM, well, it might. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
