Game suffers heavy freezes when installed on SSD

[SirMaloOfMapleLand]

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone experienced something similar. I re-downloaded this game to see whats up after a while, and on my SSD it would constantly freeze on every other button click for 5-30 seconds at a time. Deleted and re-installed on my HDD, works perfectly. Anyone get a similar experience or just me?

I have my copy of Uboat installed on an M.2 SSD drive but haven't experienced any freezes or lag. Are you playing with any mods by chance?

There had been some residual mod files from before, but I unsubscribed, validated, and re-installed on both SSDs that I have, same thing. Both SSDs are Lexar NM610 Pro 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe, but when I put it on the HDD its completely fine. Weird right?

Sounds very weird. I have it on an SSD too (all my games are) and have not encountered anything like this.

Maybe manually deleting the folders and the appdata folder as well (you can move your saves out first) would have some kind of effect. Not sure why it would but I know that sometimes I've found leftovers persisting even though I was not subscribed to things and had validated the local files (I think that only checks what it knows should be there, not what shouldn't be there).

Which mods out of curiosity? The only time I've seen a player report lag or freezing was when they were using a music mod.

Other than that it would help if we could see your output log. You can find it under your AppData folder.

Was "enhanced ports" or something along those lines, the version number was quite old.

Here's my output file, though after the re-installs im unsure what you'll find: https://pastebin.com/Ky6FV6JK

Your output log is 3,000 entries long and full of errors. Something is very, very wrong with that save file.

I highly recommend you delete the cache, datasheets and temp folders under your AppData/Uboat folder, disable your mods and start a new game. Again, your output log's list of errors is longer than a CVS receipt. That's probably the reason you're experiencing severe freezes.

Thanks for the tip friend! My PC was overdue for a reset already, so I just did that. I’ll have a peek at both of those folders (prob empty anyways) and try reinstalling UBOAT to my SSD again, and see how that goes.

To add though, why was my output so goofed? The game had been reinstalled twice, and i had deleted all save games and started fresh. It’s odd.

Maybe your SSD / disk is faulty?

check event viewer (eventvwr.msc). (look for ntfs file system errors and/or ATA disk errrors etc)

i would test the disk by booting up a linux livecd and check if the kernel log complains about anything.
A healthy SSD disk should not give you any problems.
