I had many issues with 1 second freezes or so (stuttering). I fixed them when I put the sim in an SSD.

Tried that on my 5 year od machine (that I've still got as a "sandbox") & still happens.

 

Yup same here ..I'm on a Samsung M2 and still get the freezes & pauses .. nothing I would call stutter though..

This has been happening to me for several months now to the point I have given up racing AMS2. It happens in both VR and monitor but only ever in an actual race. On numerous occasions I have completed an online session of 30 minutes practise, 15 minutes qualification and then once I start the race I get screen freezes of 2 to 3 seconds every 5 minutes or so. This is online club racing with Club50 and Racedepartment, no one else has reported similar issues.
I've tried wiping the config for AMS2 and also cleaning the Nvidia drivers and then installing the latest but no joy. Needless to say I have no problems with RaceRoom, RF2 and ACC.

 

I think I've narrowed it down to 'MP Ranked' only lobbies and some 'dedicated' servers.
If you don't mind could you let me know who your ISP is please.

You're not alone, we have had to put AMS2 on the back burner at simracingonline as well. We have a lot members with the same issues, practice all week then P & Q are fine but once the race starts if they don't get booted on session change they have the 2-3 sec pause/freeze ending up in a big crash once the pause ends.. more so with the VR guys but that just might be coincidental .. It could be the ranking system as Arms is discovering with his constant testing (thanks for that Arms;-) but I have seen it happen on unranked sessions as well ..

 

Same as Matt and Kro.

UDP enable isn't help neither. I use this for my motion system and during MP the UDP seems giving some trouble to the online traffic.

However as noticed( and highlighted) by Matt, ranked session is clearly when problem occurs the most obviously.

What I notice on my side is when crash occurs with cars or with non destructible object freeze happens. More cars are involved more long is the freeze. Noticed as well when people retired or leaving the session I can notice small freeze as well. Playing on VR only.

This happend with race only as you mentioned and this make sens for me as to my understanding the ratings points are only computed during the race.

 

Same here, i mostly race offline and when a crash happens or is about to happen the the display will freeze for a bit.

 

I'm with Virgin media - link is about 100MBit. I'll check with the RaceDepartment server admin to see if they have ranked switched on.

 

I'm with virgin media enabling DMZ in hub settings solved game freeze for me

 

Is that for consoles or PC or both?
