Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: 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.

Game hitches every few seconds, on intro screen and in-game. - Waiting for Response

Post by enyophaze »

9.00 (611726) English
Mods: Orange cursor mod (happens with it disabled as well)
The game video/rendering hitches every few seconds.
Updated AMD drivers, a few days before noticing the issue.
I used DDU to uninstall and install the version I had prior, but I'm not sure if the problem was present in the last 2 versions of AMD Drivers.... Haven't played in about 1.5 months.

Link to onedrive that has the dxdiag and vulkan dumps, and a video recording showing the issue on the intro screen

Hi, you have a huge list of sound devices and drivers on the go at the same time. Disable any you don't use in Control panel, Device Manager, Sound/Audio Devices (right-click on a device in the listing for a disable/enable pop-up). Make sure that whatever sound drivers you keep are fully updated to latest WHQL version.

You don't have Windows Error Reporting enabled so there are no clues there in your DxDiag.

Make sure that you don't have anything running in the background while playing that periodically calls home to check for updates/contacts or to report in. That might explain a regular brief loss of game focus. You could try giving the game better cpu processing priority if you know how to do that in case that helps.

Good luck.

Thank you for the advice.

I've gone ahead and cleaned up the audio devices to bare minimum and will perform further testing.
