We need teehistorian files on blockservers?

I can imagine we don't need them

yeah, also not sure why we record them, maybe to check for bots one day?

@Deleted User great news, i have been using ddnet 14.5.1 and for the past week i didnt even realize but i was having the same bug but its soo much better, the screen only freezes for maximum a second and goes back to normal. so its way more playable than the newer versions which u have to re open to conitnue playing. if u want u can ping a note asking people to try this 14.5.1

would be also nice if you try the newest version with gfx_opengl_major 1 and make sure to actually type "major" restart and just type gfx_opengl_major to make sure it worked it should show a 1 as value then

13:45

but if it already happens in older versions that makes me wonder what the actual problem is then, and if its since a windows update or since forever

its was value 3 on the newer version by deflaut now i gota play for weeks and be a gunie pig again

14:31

@Deleted User thank fuck the lord i dont have to be a guine pig for weeks, after 4 seconds into copy love box it froze

14:31

so its definitely somethign new

14:32

bingo, old client doesnt even have gfx_opengl_major, only has gfx_opengl3

but after you restarted or before?

but after you restarted or before?

didint restart, just typed it in, then typed in gfx_opengl_major, it said value 1. went thru the start line and bam

didint restart, just typed it in, then typed in gfx_opengl_major, it said value 1. went thru the start line and bam

yeah but the question is, what happens after restart

15:08

so type in

15:09

restart type in just gfx_opengl_major without value

15:09

it should say 1 then

15:09

after the restart (edited)

k

and if it then freezes, then tell me

value 1

good

so im guesing its this whole major code

its 1 now, and if it freezes next time tell me

since the old client "doesnt" have it at least from what i see

15:10

omg, idont wan keep switichg my settign and game play every week jsut to keep having lags xD

imagine it like this: gfx_opengl_major 1 should be almost the same as older clients

15:11

so if it freezes now and doesnt happen in older clients

so what id does?

it might be something new

whats it for, if its not hard or too long to explain?

well ever heard of vulkan?

15:11

or directx 12

no i dont code

its just that new GPU features require new versions of API, but have benifits

15:12

so e.g. gfx_opengl_major 3 should easily outperform gfx_opengl_major 1, bcs it adds newer GPU features, that are used

15:15

you said it even freezed in the old client. for me that would tell me, that gfx_opengl_major 3 just makes this freeze more obvious maybe its overheating, maybe its synchronization of some computer components

15:15

fact is, until yet only intel users seemed to have this

well that makes a lot of sense why that would fuck up the screen. also does this mena the odl client doenst have it or it has it but u cant chnage value?

and newest GPU driver doesnt fix it, so either intel doesnt know, doesnt care or its not directly related to the GPU

the old client has a opengl3 mode, but it uses different features

15:16

but these freeze reports only came at around 15.x release

15:16

the new renderer was added in 14.7

well all i know is every new version i playe yes even before 15.2.5 was crashing, whilst 14.5 neer crashed in the sense it does but not for ever

but they "only" freeze dont they?

15:33

you still hear sound

yes the screen is the problem

15:33

whislt on old the screen also freezes but few millseconds max 1 sec

if the old also has a similar freeze, then it might just be like a less critical bug in this case

i dont think i have patiance but i might decide to play every vesion untill 14.5 to see when it stats xD

well i dunno, im not a hardware/driver specialist, i can only do assumptions and try to make the amount of possibilities smaller

15:34

you don't need to, just play with newest client with gl 1.x for now

its almost lke the old one finds a solution whislt hte new dont

if it freezes, that already helps

old v is a freze of screen as if ur lookng at a screeenshot for few milisecnods, the new v's stay frozen like that until u swap apps u have opened, and when u swap back it flashes from black screen to the desktop look u have

ah ok

15:36

good to know

15:36

well lets see how the gl 1.x version will freeze

15:36

in the new client

ALSO yes i can stil interaact wiht chat,

yeah

15:37

the client doesnt freeze at all, not even the graphic thread

15:37

its really weird

nothing freezes apart form the image being displayed, but id love to see if i can move whislt frozen

15:38

ok i go outside to smoke for a bit, will report later the issue

have a nice one
