Coop missions intermittent lag
-
Hello
I tried to play the coop missions today for the nice nostalgia feeling of struggling against the AI but in every mission I launched I would get intermittent freezes. Every 4-5 seconds the game would freeze for roughly1-2 seconds. Does anyone know what is causing it? Is it something I am doing wrong? My PC should be able to handle it based on the fact it plays fill 1v7 skirmish matches with massive amounts of units without a significant drop in performance.
Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Based on your description, can you make sure it is not related to the 'id3dxeffectcompiler' issue like here: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/8651/crash-upon-faf-client-create-game-start-up-id3dxeffectcompiler-compilation-failed
Otherwise, make sure to enable debugger in the FAF client, reproduce the issue and share the game.log, please.

Hello, I powered through a game for a bit after my post and noticed the game only freezes when there is dialog or banter from the characters. It was so bad at the start of the missions because all the npc's keeps talking but after the start it's only the objective reminders and banter that makes it freeze. It's still very jarring so I'll look at your suggestion thank you.

Hi, I just encountered the same problem. We did a 4p coop mission and the game freezes/lag spikes during and then after any dialog. The only thing different is I just upgraded to a new computer. Old one was i7 with a 1080Ti, Win10 and the new one is AMD9800X3D with a 4070Super, Win11.
Debug was on. #24159116 for the replay. game_24159116.log -

Yes, you are right. Thanks for the ping.
I still have no idea what 'recent change' causes the freezing/stuttering, nor do I know how to reproduce it. Hopefully, when more people report it, we find a pattern.
