Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen? GuHEZHFG (Instance)
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 02.02.24 00:14 UTC
Summarize your bug Primary Bug: early in match, game will freeze repeatedly for 1-2 seconds at a time, 2 or 3 times Secondary Bug: after first match, game counts down to start the next match, goes to a black screen and then returns to the main menu. Tertiary Bug: HDR not working properly; brightness / colors are not right. HDR is turned on in Windows 11
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? - Play the game, Conquest Large
What happens when the bug occurs? - Game will freeze for a few seconds, unfreeze, and freeze again 2-3 times total. - After that it seems to be okay For the menu issue, I have to restart the game to play a second match For the HDR issue, no idea what to do
What should be happening instead? Game shouldn't freeze, subsequent matches should load, HDR should work properly

‌

TLDR;

- Games freezes repeatedly early in a match

- The match not loading after countdown is still happening

- HDR is bugged

I list 3 issues b/c they've been going on for a while.  PLEASE look into these if you're not already.  Thank you!

    Any updates here?

    Things I've tried:

    • uninstalling the nVidia driver (via DDU) and doing a clean install.  Doesn't make a difference.
    • Adding a separate PCIE ethernet NIC in case it was due to the in-built intel ethernet NIC.  Doesn't make a difference.
    • Turning off DLSS, turning off Ray Tracing, turning off nVidia reflex.  Doesn't make a difference.

    Windows 11 is in game mode.

    No matter what, within the first 5 minutes of a match, there will be 5-10 seconds of freezing before the game reverts to playing just fine.  It's driving me crazy.

    The only other thing I can think of (and will test for this weekend) is the PBO / CO settings on my ryzen 7900 (65W).  I am running it at 95W TDP settings with individually tested curve optimizer settings.  the result is mostly just longer boosting at 5.5GHz (w/ a +50MHz boost override)  At least in Destiny 2 and Forza Horizon 5, those games are running just fine.

    On my Legion 7i laptop (Core i7 12800HX, 32GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM, nVidia RTX 3070ti), no freezing issues.
