Stutters/Periodic pauses
« on: February 01, 2013, 10:24:49 PM »
I get some kind of pulsing pauses during play of this mod.  My framerates are high.  It's not quite stuttering, but more 1/2 second pauses here and there.  My friend was getting them as well when we were playing together.  We're both using the Steam version of Company of Heroes and running Tales of Valor.  Our two very different systems:

Mine:
3570K @4.4ghz
12GB DDR3 1600 ram
GTX670 2GB
Windows 7
All drivers up to date, all windows updates

His:
Phenom II 965
4GB DDR2 800
9800GT 512mb
Windows 7

We also played the game without this mod and it runs perfect.

Welcome to EF forums.

I guess it has to do with some high poly or buggy models appearing on the field, do you remember if you were creating some unit when this happened and what unit did you call?

No.  It was a constant problem throughout the fight, so it wasn't during any creation of a unit.  I was playing as the Russians.  My friend was playing as the Americans.

Could you give us the logs written for that match?

You can find them on "Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\Logfiles".  The files are timestamped, so you can know which ones belong to a specific session.

Also, if you keep the replay, make sure it is included in the compilation :).

I don't have any recordings.  What files do you want, and how should I go about getting that to you?

One of each type if available.

But remember to choose the logs with the correct timestamp.

I'm getting together with friends tomorrow.  Hopefully we'll play this and I can try it again.  I'll record a game or two and assuming I experience the problem again, I'll post the information.

Now, in the log files, there are like 5 or 6 different ones, and some of them are rather large, so I assume you don't want me to copy and paste the text.  Want me to upload them somewhere and post links?  Sorry, I'm a newbie here.

You are supposed to upload the files here... either as compressed file or one by one ;).

Hi, I'm having the same issue- frequent stuttering in lategame, however fps are like 30 or 40 even. Happens most often when a lot of units are on the field- both Soviet and Axis. I will upload the replay file as soon as possible.

Keep up the good work guys- I don't need CoH2 anymore thanks to this mod :)

Here it is: http://www.sendspace.pl/file/bf27a936d55cfd9a5daf28f

I know it is in poor quality, but the issue should be clearly visible. If not, I will work on it- it's hard to compress a 1,7 GB file, though. I can also send a replay file but I couldnt see any stuttering when playing it.

And of course, my computer:

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 3,30 GHz
Radeon 6950 1GB
8GB RAM
Windows 7
