Game Freezez 5 min into game

[Theniiieeee]

Please somebody help me,

This is my favorite game in the world,

I'm running windows 10 on an icore 7 processor with excellent internet connection and a GeForce NVIDIA game card,

Every time I get into a Sedona FFA and start taking out my first enemy my game freezes, I can still select my units using hot keys, but the screen is frozen on my opponents almost destructed con yard.

I have the game downloaded from origin, I have the black screen patch and the CNCGRAPHICS patch. I tried the video buffer=no but that didn't seem to change anything.

If anyone can help me to resolve this issue I would be happy to allow you to destroy one of my apocalypse tanks with your German tank destroyer.

 

Please assist, my future as a happy person depends on it.

Hello @Theniiieeee

If you are experiencing slow or choppy gameplay whilst playing on CnCNet, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem.

1. Install the CnCNet client 
2. This will look for your existing game directory.
3. Once installed run CnCNetYRLauncher.exe or the shortcut supplied.
4. Click "Options"
5. Select "Display" and under the render options, select a new renderer. Commonly, TS-DDRAW works best.
6. Click Save, and launch Skirmish. 
7. Play a game with the AI. If the gameplay is fast then this renderer will likely be the best for you.
8. If it hasn't worked, repeat from step 5 until you find a renderer that works best with your system.

Failing the above, ensure your video drivers are up-to-date. You are running a suitable resolution the game can handle.

I have been trying ts ddraw, how can I ensure that my video drivers are up to date

Your GeForce driver should automatically update, unless you've disabled the auto-update. You can also manually update it at http://www.geforce.com/drivers.

But can you be more specific: Does it happen...

1. always around 5 mins into the game or only when you start killing one of your enemies?
2. all the time?
3. only on Sedona?
4. against everyone?
5. happen in single player skirmish mode?
6. Has this always happened or only recently? If recently; what did you change/update just before this started happening?

Make sure you're running the game in Win 7/XP compatibility mode, if not already.
