Game Freezes

[RangerX3X]

I am running HTTR with patch 2286 and many times while using maximum time compression the game will just freeze for several seconds and then start again. The timer pauses and nothing happens on screen until the freeze goes away. I am running all of the latest stuff and have even tried setting my processor affinity to a single core with no luck. It gets annoying after awhile.

This is my basic system setup:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual 4800+ 2.51GHZ
2 GB RAM (Perfectly matched and timed)
Windows XP Home SP2
DirectX 9.0c
GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB

Thanks.

The freeze is nothing to be concerned about and is normal for the game.

At various times the load oin the cpu becomes such that the game freezes for several seconds.

In the really large scenarios in Battles from the Bulge (beta testing) I sometimes get freezes that last 5-10 seconds.

As long as they don't drive you batty thinking the game has locked up for good they shouldn't cause you any real trouble.

Thanks Hans. I've noticed that is largely dependent on mouse activity as well. If I let it run without moving my mouse, then the game freezes up like this often on max time compression. Simply moving the mouse from one direction to another immediately clears the freeze.
