Any fix for freezes every 2 minutes?
Hey everyone, ive been getting steady freezes ingame. It starts after about twenty minutes, it happens every 2 minutes and lasts up till 15 seconds. Its nearly a game ruining experience and after i scoured forums both here and reddit ive yet to find a solution. Ive tried changing graphic settings, reinstalling on another drive, playing through gamepass and setting monitor hz to 60 - none of this helps.

Do anyone have a solution for this problem?

Hardware:

9600K, 3060 TI, 32GB 3600 C16 RAM, KC3000 2TB NVME.

Man I have the same problem. I recently change my graphic card, thought it was that but it seems to have come with the recent update. There's no solution actually that I found. Even with a clean install, reinstalled drivers and all the basic thing Bethesda told people to do.

Slower computer, 3 other posts about the same thing on here right now. maybe 50 a week or more. You need a Turd to run a Turd. To much frame rate-Max is 60-100. Old 12 year Engine on this.

Hey, so just quick update. It varies from session to session, yesterday i had a session run flawless for over an our, also it seems that some world events trigger these freezings. All this points toward Fallout 76 error. Ive heard talks that the reason for the freezing is people duping etc, im not sure about this - what i do know its not an error on client side. Ive also seen talks that windows 11 might contribute to the issue, which just means Bethesda just dont care since about a quarter of all windows OS users use Win 11. Im pretty sure there is no "bug" in Windows 11, Bethesda just havent kept Win 11 in mind at all.

My conclusion so far is; #1 its server side/game code problem, #2 Bethesda dont give af.

Ive contacted bethesda support and i look forward to receive some sort of automated response thats of no use lol.

I have the same problem as well and I agree it kills the experience. It's really annoying when it happens mid battle.

Last I heard Windows 11 has been showing bad performance with all types of games.

Okay. While that might be true for some, ive had 0 issues with FH5, Insurgency, Mordhau, Wreckfest, BF5(no issues with dumpster fire 2042 either), AOE IV, CIV 6 which ive all played within the last week. Just to name the ones ive played fine within last week. Which is why i for me its ONLY FO76 that has issues, and i play a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of games lol.

I've found that background programs running cause freezes for me. I have to turn off RGBFusion, iCue and Ghub in order to remove most freezes. This happens on my high end pc with a i9700k / RTX 4080. On my old laptop msi gs65 stealth it never freezes ..... go figure!

Hey, thats very much something to try! Ill give it a whirl next time the freezing starts. i got Armoury Crate running (i know, god awul).

Though today i havent had any issues during a 4 hour session with 1 exit (had to change audio output for game). Fingers crossed! Though im still sure its not client related, the way i can play all day sometimes without issues and other sessions its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10 minutes in. Also the way (for me atleast) its often events, usually related to other players that really kicks off my 10-15 second freezes.

Side info; Blizzard app can actually minimize my Fallout game, Few days ago it happened when a buddy wrote me (one of the times mid Big Earl fight haha). These such as these also make me think wtf is with the FO76 client, ive never had another program minimize a fullscreen game like that.
