Delayed movement and power activation.

[Texas Titan]

The past couple weeks when I first log into the game everything works great. Eventually when transitioning to another map I will get really bad rubber banding issues or cannot move at all. Clicking on a power can sometimes take 10 seconds or more before it will activate. Even the character selection screen will take  a long time to switch characters. Once it starts it is like this on every character I try to play. I am on Windows 11 and have an Nvidia RTX 3060. I have updated all of my drivers and nothing seems to fix it other than deleting my CoH game folder and then re-installing. That will work for a while until it starts up again. I recently learned about the "/sync" command but it doesn't help either. I have even lowered my graphics all to minimum and the issue persists. I have rebooted my router and wi-fi as well several times and everything else on my PC works fine and I have great bandwidth on a full gig wi-fi. I have been playing on the same PC now for a couple years so not sure what has changed. Has anyone else had this happen or have any other ideas?

If you type /netgraph 1 into the chat window and hit enter, then look at the resulting graph, is it consistently short green bars, or are there spikes of red and yellow ones as well?

Also "/showfps 1" will give an indication of how well the graphics element of things is doing. Whilst it's unlikely to be your CPU or video card that's the issue, it's always a good idea to rule it out (healthy is anything from about 30 FPS up to whatever your monitor's VSync rate is - typically 60 on non bleeding edge kit)

Thank you both, 

 

I did both commands. 

 

"/netgraph 1" Was all short green across the board. 

 

"/showfps 1" was consistently around 60. It dipped a little below here and there but never lower than 59 and would get just over 62 at times.

 

At the moment the game is running perfect as I did another re-install. I will try these commands again once I get the lagging and report back.

 

I appreciate the help!

Does CoH:HC use AWS?  I noticed some lag these last few days, and there was that major Amazon outage... so maybe just some residual aftereffects?

How much ram memory does your computer have? And have you done a memory diagnostic to test it?

 

Same for your hard drive.

 

And it's possible your game files are corrupted. 

 

Just stabs in the dark, it it can't hurt to check...

Just ran both of those BlackSpectre to test memory and the hard drive and both tests came back clean. So far the game is still stable. If and when it starts doing this again I will run all the tests over again. 

 

I appreciate the help as always!

If this happens again, you might try logging off - re-verify files, then log back in to see if it persists.

I tried that the last time it happened and it worked until I zoned. So far the only "fix" I have found is to completely delete the game and then re-install. So far it is still working OK since the last time I did a re-install. Fingers crossed it does not happen again.

Hmm... that is a very odd behavior.  Does your computer have more than 1 drive?  If so, (and I realize you said it's been good since then), but if the issue does happen again, maybe try installing to a different drive?  Do you happen to have a laptop?  Even if it's an old one, maybe try installing it on there to see if there's any other behavior?  Regardless, I'm glad it hasn't happened again...

I do have a second SSD drive on my Desktop that was from my previous PC. I never thought to try and install the game on there and see if that helps solve the issue. I will try that next time the issue pops up as well. It's so frustrating when it happens and becomes unplayable.

 

I need my CoH/CoV time! I played the original release from Beta to shutdown, I had to go several years without it already before Homecoming came along and its my weekly happy place. LOL

It started up again, 

 

All the other tests came back normal except for "/netgraph 1"

 

I had lots of higher green bars than last time and several yellow and red ones.

Well, I finally figured out what the issue is. I am guessing the last time I had a windows update for some reason it enabled the "crappy" wifi integrated on my motherboard. So my PC has been using that instead of my gaming wifi adapter. Once I disabled the integrated one and re-enabled my gaming adapter it is all working great again. 

 

Thanks to everyone for all the help. I appreciate it so much!
