Coop missions intermittent lag
-
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.

@magge Hi Magge,
We're still having these problems and it means that playing Coop in missions that have a lot of these intro cutscenes and frequent reminders about objectives is nearly unplayable. We've tried "%s" /nomovie in the command line for all clients but it doesn't stop these in-mission "cutscenes".
Any progress or other reports about the cause? Is there anything we can do to help diagnose the bug?
-
AFAIK, no one is sure what caused it suddenly, and there is no fix expected anytime soon.

Do you run the campaign with any mods enabled? If so, try turning those off. In other cases, please try and see if you can make a recording of the behavior. Also observe your task manager. Is the resource usage spiking, as an example?
-
@Jip Only the mods that are bundled with the coop missions (usually none) because we want to get on the leaderboards.
I booted a solo game up to get a recording for you but it doesn't freeze/stutter/lag for me. Which means either its >1p situations, or my friend's computer(s) that are the problem. I will get them to test individually.

I can confirm that I have also had the same issue when playing with a friend. The Issue seems connected to the in-game "taunts" and other voiced videos. It seems to get worse if the camera also needs to "pan". And sometimes results in "crashes"/"freezes".

3 of us total. Only 1 of us has the issue, and he says it's both single and multiplayer.
The 2 of us who don't have the issue are fine when it's only us in the game.
The problem player has a 2080Ti. The other 2 of us have a 4070Super and a 2060. -
I had a similar issue personally, but it stopped when I ran the faf client as an admin + 4 core affinity.
This didn't resolve the issue for my friend though. He says that there is no lag when running the campaign directly in steam, IE not with FAF.

@Phoenix_NZ What is the spec, both CPU and GPU of the user with issues?
-
I am having the exact same issue. The game ran fine for years on my old Windows 10 machine, running on an i7 and 1070. However after upgrading Windows 11 with a 9800X3D and 4070-Super the coop missions always lags out and eventually freeze during cutscenes (basically whenever an NPC dialogue box pops up). This also forces me to restart my PC as I cannot close, minimize or tab out of the frozen game window, which is stuck on top of everything else, including task manager.
