[FIXED][1776] Game freezes for a few seconds each full minute

Run the attached in acceleration. Upon completing a full minute (xx:xx:00) the game freezes for a few seconds and then restarts until the end of the next minute etc. This is the 3rd day of this particular scenario. I have observed the same at an earlier stage before, but it "recovered" quick on its own. But not this time, ever after a full restart.
Can anyone reproduce this?

I uploaded an another save (Just before) in the original post just a few minutes before the issue occurs. You will notice that the game flows smoothly and suddenly the issue arises and persists

It also happens in B1817.
There is an exception on the screen just starting the before scenario.
Then happens what you describe.

As happened other times, the freezes are related with the too many targets in the missions.
If you switch to China side, there are 2 missions with 174 targets, and others with 81, 62, and 49.

I am not sure if this is the reason because those missions were there from the outset. I need to check in the editor if at the time the issue occurs they are activated for the first time or something. I dont believe this is the case, but i am away from my laptop currently.

Inactivating or just deleting the 3 with more targets stops the freezing.

Check this. It is from a save around one and a half (game) hours before the one in the original post. Same missions are active. Everything runs perfectly. If number of targets in strike missions are the cause, it cannot be the only cause.
Edit: admittedly when I deactivate the 174 targets strike the issues ceases

But you are right, no slowdown in that save with the missions active

Do you see the air weapons ranges blinking?
And they are gone with the freeze.

If you transform Bien Hoa AB into a single unit airfield, the devs added this function to the editor some time ago, the freezes are gone.
From 174 to 1 target, but I do not no of the consequences of this change for the scenario
The second mission with 174 targets has the same base as a target, but no ACs assigned.

The thing is that mission with the same 174 targets was there also before; when the game used to run fine. If deactivating it or reducing the number of its target fixes the issue, we may conclude that the particular mission is a necessary condition for the occurrence of the problem but not a sufficient condition in itself (otherwise the problem would be there from the beginning)

I think it is because the Bomber is not ready yet.
When the bomber is ready and the mission active, is when the freezes start.
It seems only 1 bomber is needed to freeze the simulation, the other 3 in the mission are already in the reserve.
1 bomber, not even 4, can strike 174 targets. The missions for the chinese side could be adjusted for less targets.

This has been fixed for the next update.

The Samson option scenario is another example of freezes every minute due to missions with hundreds of targets.
