Still investigating hitches - here's how you can help

Have them too. Started happening when PU2 hit the game.
They also occure on PTS while playing on pretty much empty continent doing dogfights.
Noticed them first when PU2 hit the PTS and it followed to LIVE with the patch after.

Yep I had a hitch free month or so about a couple months ago but yeah have had it otherwise.

The hitching seems to be occuring less often for me recently, since around last week. However, it does still happen, usually after a long period of playing. Also, sometimes if I quit the game my entire system is sluggish and feels locked up for a few seconds. Looking at hardware monitors I see that Planetside 2 uses a lot of my RAM. If I quit during extreme hitching I often see about 80% RAM usage (I have 8GB). I saw it mentioned that this may be a memory management issue, and my RAM and system behaviour would definately indicate that. The UseFences=0 suggestion did not make a noticeable difference.

Doesn't happen that often, and it's mostly when I'm in a mosquito.

Yeah, happening to me, although it seems less frequent lately.

ISKLarington on Miller. Probably worth noting I've changed PC builds in the last week and it occurs on both the old & new computer builds (The new one has a 6 core processor and I still notice the little hitches in rendering). I'm also switching out a GT 640 and moving up to a GTX 750 Ti as soon as it arrives (Hopefully tomorrow) as I've realised that the GT 640 is having overheating issues even at lower graphics settings.

im getting those randomly and got very long one (2 or 3 sec) in biolabs mostly

I swear this bug is a conspiracy because it always occurs at the right time. Please, kill it with fire already.

I only play for 30-45 minutes at a time but that's enough to notice a couple hitches.

I'm getting this issue every once in a while. I'm usually fine for an hour, then my game hitches and reverts to normal several times over the course of fifteen minutes.

My character name is TwentyFirstPilot

Still having mini freezes every 10-20 min. Mostly in big fights.

I'm getting this hitch at random and haven't been able to reproduce the circumstances it occurs.

Thanks Higby

I do have hitches (sudden drop of fps from 30-40 to 15-20 if to be precise), only happens in relatively big battles, but fps drops do not connected with stuff rendering on the screen (i can run through empty building and get a hitch)

Name : Shezoth.

I'm hitching as if there's no tomorrow in my ESF and on the ground since that recent patch whenever there's a larger engagement.
