Problem orbiter momenterely freezez every minuet?

[zeldafan156]

does this happen to anyone els? its realy annoying and allways messes me up when reentering or landing... the sim will freeze for a sec... then continue as if the game was going but it diddnt freeze. it messes up the auto piolets too wich results it me burning up during reentry. it happens like every 30 seconds AND IT DIDN'T DO IT ON MY OLDER,CRAPPIER PC.

 

[Warped]

I do know that sometimes when i'm in orbit, and I time-warp, the sim will freeze for a few seconds if I warp too fast.

What version of orbiter are you running? (I can't get 2010 to run so I wouldn't know about that version )

 

[garyw]

It would help to know the version that you are running. I believe that this might help if you are running 2010:

[zeldafan156]

running on 2010

 

[Mojave]

2010, works better, maybe it's your computer. Maybe it doesn't like orbiter.

 

[zeldafan156]

any ideas why this it happening on my newer,more powerful pc and not my old one, i used 2006 on that one than i got a new one and figured out 2010 came out.

 

[Woo482]

Have you tried reading the link Garyw gave ? or tried searching the forum to see if anyone else has had the problem ?

 

[zeldafan156]

yeah i read the link, it seems to happen always though and i always use fullscreen.

I started having a "Flash" every few minutes. Didnt really mess up the sim though. I found that it was two things running in the background. The flash happened everytime my e-mail cked for messages and I had a web page running that would refresh every few mins. Now I dont run anything except Orbiter and no more flashes.

 

[zeldafan156]

a better way to describe it would just be to say it was like lag.

a better way to describe it would just be to say it was like lag.

What MFDs do you have open at the time this lag occurs?

 

[zeldafan156]

usually happens always.

anybody els have any suggestions? i can barly play orbiter when the game freezes every five seconds and the plane is now plumiting to the ground or i just burnt up wile reentering.

 

[Hielor]

Are you running in windowed mode or full screen?

Also, can you try running orbiter_ng.exe with the DirectX 7 client?

 

[TonyZ2525]

What antivirus software are you running and have you tried disabling it to test if it interferes with Orbiter?
What graphics card are you using and do you have the latest drivers? Often new systems often don't have the newest drivers right out of the box.
Since this happens in fullscreen al the time have you tried it in windowed mode?
Try posting a printout of your Orbiter Log file so we can see what you are running.

 

[statickid]

It's a wild guess, but as others are saying, I would bet money it is a background program messing with you. Never had that kind of trouble with orbiter, but I used to with other 3d things or especially games like sim city and doom 3 when I would let background processes continue. I use vista and I turned off the "pretty" windows and all that because they just make all my graphic intensive things run crappy. so my computer looks like a xp system, and i even found that having a plain desktop can help. My desktop is Old Fashioned Windows Blue. hahahah

Are you running in windowed mode or full screen?

Also, can you try running orbiter_ng.exe with the DirectX 7 client?

windowed, and run the who what where?

windowed, and run the who what where?

In the "video" options on the launchpad, check the "always enumerate devices" tab and verify that you're using the right one. Unless you have multiple monitors, you probably want to be using the last one in the list.

Also, try running fullscreen instead of windowed.

 

[zeldafan156]

i switched to window mode a few seconds ago it is seemed to stop i alwayed used fullscreen i sayd window by accident *facepalm*

If running in windowed mode fixes the problem and is acceptable for you, I'd say do that.
