Game sometimes freezes randomly for atleast one second (old issue returned, recent patch) | + pc spec info

[Playeroth]

this issue appeared again, it was occuring back in february, then it stopped(after weeks),then appeared again and so on. Now its happening again(been atleast 2 weeks though), restarting game seems to mitigate a bit but still may happen during same game.

it seems there is also FPS stuterring after having the game open for atleast 2 match, but can be fixed if i restart, FPS will look as normal but freezes still occurs.

additional info: i noticed this occurs pretty commonly when i open Shop. I think this after i restart the game(but occurs atleast once). maybe some shop component is causing these jitters? i remember back when the first iteration of queue was added to the game, this came with similar jitters. I think its something with the shop.

some micro jitters also occurs:

I have the same glitch, in matches 37657649 and 37666562, both solved by closing and reopening deadlock. In the first game, I tried just d/c then rejoin and it didn't fix it. I was bebop in both games for what it's worth

More clips: it seems the game loads some package but causes this issue. despite the game being on a SSD. launch settings only includes -novid -dx11.

Also happening in this game after >30 minutes of gameplay: 37805745. Fixed by closing and reopening the game.

 

[tbjacobson87]

Recurred in this game today almost immediately (but not during leaving base as far as I could tell), took 2 restarts of the game to fix it. 37852793

 

[lunch!]

I've noticed this issue happening again recently as well

 

[depsterr]

I have issues with stutters (frametimes up to 300ms) and stutters on opening shop and generally unstable frametimes (minimum times at 4ms, max at 11ms)

specs:

CPU: Ryzen 3600X
GPU: Radeon 6700XT

running through proton (has affected me no matter the version I use, however I use GE-Proton10-8 currently)

driver: MESA_RADV Mesa 25.0.6

 

[BedlessSleeper]

Happens to me all the time, I run the game perfectly and have a powerful system that this should never ever happen. Very frustrating, can get 2-3freezes a game.

 

[Wildcard]

boosting because I have the same issue

 

[vivinosmol]

Have the same issue recently, thought it was a Nvidia issue, but it seems not, running LatencyMon shows its some sort of thing between deadlock and the drivers, maybe packages or something try to cache to the vram? Who knows, but this is something that needs to be fixed at some point

 

[Playeroth]

i have decided to restart every match or atleast 2 match. Restarting each post match seems to help a lot to not have these issues, it does happen but less often, more rarely it seems.

 

[daftprawnscorn]

Try to check the RAM usage in deadlock.
Since win10&11 have this thing called "cached ram", it COULD be the reason of stutters.
