Antagonists spawn - game freeze (0.2.5.2|1.36)

[ilganna]

Hi,

 

I don't know if it has already reported (I searched forums for freezes but I have not found any relevant results), however when one of my server (vanilla test or modded one), spawn an antagonists, all players are experiencing a game freeze (like 2 seconds).

 

I had the same issue back on my A2E Namalsk server when I wanted to spawn a Bloodsucker and the fix, was to include the AI leader (with the ns_bloodsucker model) on the mission.sqm file. After doing it, when it spawned on the map, no more freezes were experiencied.

 

Anyone can suggest an entry to the mission.sqm so I can test it out if the freeze happen even if I already loaded the model somewhere?

 

Thanks!

To add on: I noticed that the freezing issue happens only with the Sapper spawning. It doesn't happen with the UAV/Soldiers or the Cloak. if it helps any, I'm running the Epoch client and server on the same PC.

Happens on my servers as well.  Not every time though.  Seems like it's only the first one that spawns on the server.  After that it's smooth like the other antagonists.

On my case it's random, but the most "hard" hiccup is on the first sapper...

 

Thanks!

Same here, 1st sapper makes 2 second server wide freeze.

Hi,

 

I fixed myself by adding this on mission.sqm (on groups class):

 

class Item100

{

side = "West";

class Vehicles

{

items = 1;

class Item0

{

position[] = {15359.4,15359,0.00143433};

azimut = 222.51;

special = "NONE";

id = 100;

side = "West";

vehicle = "Epoch_Sapper_F";

leader = 1;

skill = 0.6;

init="this allowDamage false;";

};

};

};

};

 

Remeber to change the class groups count from 100 to 101.

 

class Groups

{

items = 101;

 

Also, you need to adjust your BE script.txt

Line 20: add this at the end:

!="this allowDamage false;"

 

I know this is not a great fix (Sapper coords are map bottom right corner) but at least I don't have any freezes.

 

 

Thanks!

Freezes also occur on some weather changes
