#My game freezes up randomly

During any online game my game will randomly freeze up visually. I’m still able to control the game during it but it leads to sds and lost situations a ton. I’ve checked a lot on my own pc side it’s not dealing with a peripheral or the monitor. Totally could be my outdated hardware but I’m still running it on a 1080 ti. Any ideas how to fix this?

This bug is literally killing my motivation. I cant practice effectively ever and its been this way for like a month and some change now

#

I tried the stage mod and updating my graphic drivers

#

settings are on as low as possible on a fairly strong PC

#

i feel you, as far as i know the devs are aware, they are working on putting out optimization updates going forward

#

so we kinda just have to wait and hope things get better

Do you experience this only with Rivals 2?

What controller do you use?

Looking at SF6 threads about weird stuttering issues, there are a couple of possible culprits here:

  1. Steam and Xbox drivers are fighting with one another
  2. Microsoft Game Bar causing issues
  3. Playing with an xbox controller w/ wireless adapter has an audio driver issue that's conflicting with something for some reason?

PS5 controller can steal audio when playing which i would suspect is similar to the audio driver issue mentioned above that seems to happen with the xbox contoller w/ wireless adapter.

#

If you have another controller that isn't a PS5 controller, I suggest to try that

i fixed the audio stealing thing for r2

Not sure if you can use BT with a ps5 controller, but try that as well

#

BT?

wind tangle

bluetooth

I'll check it out

Audio driver still exists on your system even if you change the output audio source. It still could cause weird driver conflict here and there **which could **be what you're seeing.

Still suggest to disable microsoft game bar and run both r2 and sf6 and see what the performance is like.

If it still persists for R2, try a different controller or run the game with four CPUs in local versus, and see if the stuttering issue persists.

#

Windows also has a gaming optimization mode(?) if i remember correctly, I know someone who had that cause stuttering issues in the past. Might want to play around with that as well

ty 🙏, ill try it out and lyk

wind tangle
#

Np. let me know if anything i suggest works.

Unfortunately, I don't have a PS5 controller / windows machine, so I can't say for certain what is the core cause of the issue.

#

still stutters every now and again, but shorter and less frequent than me playing

#

game was actually watchable tho

wind tangle
#

I'll look at what other possible solutions could exist later tn after work

#

Quick thing you could look into while I search for more info later.

This person had an issue where there was a USB device being constantly reconnecting that caused the issue, try that software mentioned in here and see if that could be causing the issue.

The thread also has a list of things that they've done as well prior to determining what the cause of the issue was. That list may be a good reference point.

i unplugged my keyboard and the lag almost completely vanished

#

it felt fake kinda lol

#

like the game was running too well

#

anytime i replugged my keyboard the lag came back

#

but after a while of playing online (over the course of like 6 hours) the lag came back worse

#

idk if it was internet or what

No worries, at least you do know that it was a keyboard causing the issue

obsidian beacon
#

lag came back

#

the game is actually just messing with me or something

#

today i try to play again

#

and its lagging worse than ever

#

holy

#

literally unplayable lag

#

What is task manager showing while you have your game running? Is it using a lot of cpu / GPU / ram?

obsidian beacon

#

#

no spikes or anything

before i even downloaded it

#

My b for making you do a lot of work, but if you can identify what three usbs keep disconnecting / reconnecting, unplug those permanently and see how the performance is

obsidian beacon
#

all good, ik what they are, its my mouse, keyboard, and controller

#

but idk what to do :(

#

bug is horrible for me too i cant play online anymore because of this. bump^

#

obsidian beacon
#

i figured it out

#

hopefully for the final time

#

#

just had to take out my capture card

#

and everything sorted itself out
