MTA freezes with windows 8.

[derip]

well hello MTA team, its my first time to use this sit, so please forgive me if i posted in wrong board or broke the rules.

well i'm CIT Player i asked many CIT players about Windows 8 and MTA , since yesterday/2 days ago our MTA's started geting frozen for 10-25secs some times it respond and work nromal then after 1-5mins same thing happens, anyway here is some logs from players confirmed that i'm not only one who gets frozen.

(LOCAL) [3]PFC-DeRip[AF]: MTA keep freezing for about 10-20 secs idk why

(SF) GHoST|Smoke*F: Same here derip

(D) PFC-DeRip[AF]: smoke you're able to close it from CTRL+DEL, ? task manger

(D) GHoST|Smoke*F: no i have to restart

(D) PFC-DeRip[AF]: me 2 wtf

(D) PFC-DeRip[AF]: windows 8?

(D) GHoST|Smoke*F: fuckin A right

(ALLIANCE) PFC-DeRip[AF]: anyone using windows 8 here?

(ALLIANCE) [CIT]Jaeger-AFK: me

(ALLIANCE) PFC-DeRip[AF]: your mta freezes for about 10-20secs ? and not able to close it from task manger?

(ALLIANCE) [CIT]Jaeger-AFK: yes

(ALLIANCE) [CIT]Jaeger-AFK: altho my task manager comes eventually...

also its not fps drop our FPS always 61-50 and when MTA back nromal we find that our FPS still 61-50.

so i guess it has something with MTA/Windows 8, not with my PC since more than 3 Players were geting same problem.

i hope you help us and tell us how to fix it

PS: when we press CTRL+DEL ( task manger) we won't be able to end MTA's Task, we have to restart PC to fix it.

srry for typos its 5AM here >.<

this needs to be fixed or a solution needs to come up, asap its a big problem and its not just a few people its 100s of people with this problem

How often is the freezing?

There may be a common factor between players with this issue. Several MTADiag logs from different people who have experienced the freeze will be helpful. Could both derip and DixieDiesel55 provide MTADiag logs, please?

[DixieDiesel55]

Here is my log I hope it can help to solve this annoying lingering problem

http://pastebin.mtasa.com/327107604

and it freezes up everyday atleast 3-5times depending were your playing in a server

[Towncivilian]

Enable: Settings->Advanced->Debug setting->#0000 Log timing

Then note the exact time the freeze occurs and post another MTADiag log.

[iPrestege]

I have the same problem too win 8 -_-" i can't start my PC .

[Towncivilian]

Please install the latest nightly, then press CTRL+SHIFT+F4 when a freeze occurs, which will make MTA crash. Then, upload the latest file from MTA\dumps\private to upload.mtasa.com.

That dump file is from a version before the freeze fix.

Please make sure you are using the file from here: https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/?mtasa-1.3.3-rc-latest

To check, press F8 to open the client console and type the command: ver

It should show build number 05685 or higher

Multi Theft Auto v1.3.3-release-5688

Copyright © 2003 - 2013 Multi Theft Auto, correct?

[ccw]

Yes, that is correct.

The next time it freezes and you press CTRL+SHIFT+F4 to make it crash, make sure the dump file you upload has that number in the filename.

[derip]

I got it once again, x3.

That dump file is for another crash type.

It might be easier if you zipped up MTA\dumps\private\ and uploaded that please.

Sorry, PRIVATE FILE

[ccw]

Thanks for that.

[GhostXoP]

That has to be my favorite part of debugging.

Pinpointing the problem when the crash logs of different customers machines match.
