freezing 4-10 seconds since last patch

[Jaysun]

Can we get an update on this? My wife and I will be doing a quest and randomly as soon as someone cast a spell or uses a skill we will freeze up for atleast 3-6 seconds. As characters that need to be mobile from a range, coming back from the freeze dead because melee just whaled on us while frozen is dumb and ruins the game. Will this be fixed with the expac because this is game breaking to us. I have asked others in my guild and they are getting the samething but I have not seen anything showing the devs are aware and working on it. I have seen other post about it thou.

Thanks, Hope to hear more about this.

P.S. Anyone know a fix?

This is a widespread issue affecting many people for at least a month or two.
I experience it constantly while playing on Thelanis or Argo. ~3 second stop lag randomly every 30-180 seconds.

The lack of response from SSG is deafening. Please respond to your paying customers concerning this.

I see 2-3 second stops fairly regularly, too.

This is relatively new behavior that became apparent during one of the most recent updates.

I'm still getting these as well. Totally freezes up for about 2-3 seconds. No real pattern to when it happens, but I kind of feel like it happens most when I use a spell or effect that I haven't used in a few minutes. Happens 3 or 4 times per hour of gameplay for me.

Started around the time of night revels, maybe just before? When it first started to happen, the freezes lasted longer, and even crashed the client a few times. Now it is just a short freeze, but I hold my breath each time it goes past a two count, wondering if a crash is coming.

I thought we might at least get someone to acknowledge the issue, even if they don't have time to fix it with the final push for Ravenloft.

Yes, that's my exact experience as well. Everything you described is what I'm seeing, too.

Same. Started with ravenloft preorder. Problem is a lot lot lot worse when i play warlock, it freeze more often. In particular activating aura of courage from ES always freeze my game for 15 - 30 seconds.

My GF and I get this as well, usually at the exact same time.

I'm in the US, she's in Germany.

i get this all the time, last night it got so bad it froze after every 5 steps i took. Finally logged out and went to do something else (UK here if it matters!). Have reported it to Stone but no response as of yet (8 days and counting).

It started happening for me a month or two back, and was once every ~10 minutes. Now it's happening considerably more often.

First, there is a long thread on this: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...n-patch/page11

Second: the devs have responded, including Sev recently here (https://www.ddo.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=6046222)]

Third, they thought they had addressed it in lthe latest hot patch (https://www.ddo.com/en/update-37-hot...elease-notes):

Miscellaneous

• Engineering work has been done on spell casting to help alleviate client "hitching" seen in recent weeks.

Yes, it's a problem. It seemed to lessen and then became worse again.

I have not run enough since the latest patch to verify if the hitching has lessened significantly - I do know it is not gone.

That being said, SSG has NOT been "deafening" on this.

Thanks for pointing this thread out...looks like it's getting the attention it deserves. Fingers crossed!!

i play most time healers and this make my job very hard to do when i finish freeze and half my party is dead...then sorry is not good enough please fix

I freeze now and again on Orien for up to 5 mins. It's annoying to be playing and suddenly freeze either from accessing inventory, or rounding a corner. Warlocks are fine, because I can just keep the mouse button pressed, while Chain blast is active. But wizards, clerics, or fighters I play is inconvenient when the game freezes. I have friends in my guild that have much better computers than I do, and they experience game lags as well. Most get booted almost immediately after logging into the game.

So ever since the patch on Jan 29th, I'm having issues with the game. Never had these issues before.

1. When first loading into the game I see all my hotkey bars empty and my toon is just there can't move and no gear on etc. This will last about a minute or so.

2. Going into a slayer area I can walk a few steps and then I stop. Walk a bit stop etc. This can be frustrating trying to get to quests.

3. Lag super bad in Ravenloft. Unplayable at this point.

My play group doesn't have this issue at all. Anyone else having this problem?

Other issue I'm having since I started playing again is every time I play I'll get 1 to 3 direct x crashes.
