Periodic freezes

[Methexonion]

Greetings!

I name the topic "periodic freezes" and not stutter because every 5-10 seconds I'm getting an image freeze of about 2-3 seconds. The game still works 'cause after I "return" my ship is in a different location (while flying that is). It started after adding 2-3 ships to work for my PHQ and at the same time I bought a ZYA destroyer, so I don't know where the problem lies. Sold the destroyer, no difference. I'm at early to mid game on my second start of the game. Until now there were no problems at all. The game is modified with VRO and other mods from the start, no changes made. I chose the scientist start. Latest version of the game (4.00 Hotfix 3) with the Nvidia drivers you suggested. No ctds anymore.

You might have to fly a bit to see the pauses.

I attached dxdiag and the save if a helpful soul decides to lend a hand here. Thanks in advance.

Your savegame is modded.

Your savegame is modded.

Yes, it is. I'm mentioning it. I shouldn't post it?
It was working just fine from the beginning of this session. Something happened and started acting like that.

How far are you with exploring the sectors? Is there something strange happening anywhere?

[Buzz2005]

do you have station miners, there is a bug with station miners working without probes, just 1 probe solved it for now until they improve that

Hmmm... I'd say I have explored 70% to 80% of the universe. I use an explorer mod so most of the sectors are fully explored. I'm not aware of any strangeness anywhere.

I'm afraid I'll have to restart without some mining mods I have installed. They do too many calculations I think.

Thank you for responding to me but as you mentioned I cannot figure out what is going on with my game considering the mods I'm using. I'll try to find a "safe" mod list to install.

You can post it, but as it says in the sticky thread at the top of the forum:

Note: If your game is modified in any way, whether via a third party script or mod, or via changes you have made yourself, you will almost certainly be asked to reproduce the problem in an unmodified game before full support can be provided. Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

You are right, sorry for wasting your time guys. I'll delete the post.... and start a new game, where hopefully everything will continue to go smooth as the start I had with the first 2 tries. Thanks!

No need to delete it, no. There may still be useful info here.

For me the problem was solved by completing a few of the upkeep missions.

What I think is happening is that the missions update in the background asking "am I done yet?" And when you have 40-80 of those going at the same time it causes stuttering.

If you have very many subordinate miners that all check their orders for updates at the same time then that can cause regular stutters, but that really does mean for a lot of subordinate miners.
