Hello, i am glad the freezes are gone. But we still need to inspect the issue. We have a special performance build to check for these issues by collecting telemetry data. Can you switch to that build, set the game settings so it would cause a freeze and test your performance and send us your data?
- Switch to “perf_test” from the Steam betas tab. You can find more info about it here.
- Open the game as usual and proceed to the stage where you are experiencing performance issues.
- Before the performance issues start, toggle the profiling tool by holding the “right shift” and pressing the “T” key.
- Record for 20-30 seconds, press the toggle key combination again. Please keep in mind that, the more you record, the more upload time it will require.
- Find the "test.tmcap" file in the "...\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\bin\Win64_Shipping_Client" folder. You can find the "Mount & Blade II Bannerlord" folder inside Steam’s application library folder.
- Finally, upload the file to the "upload.taleworlds.com" site. Please write your username and this threads URL into the description box so that we can find it easier. It is appreciated if you provide more information about your PC, what you were doing while the game was recording and your graphics configuration. If the data you are trying to upload is too big or the site fails to upload, you can use an alternative site to upload your data. If you choose to do that please left a reply to this thread with the download link.
I currently don't have a saved game that can stably reproduce this issue, perhaps you can take a look at Marcidy's uploaded files and see if you have the telemetry data you needed?
Also, from what I tested before, it's really easy to reproduce it using a small army to fight a vary large one (over 1400 men) in a field battle with the right setting and invincible cheat, maybe your QA team can try to reproduce it and record the data? Other than it happens when the amount of bodies reach a very large number, the timing of its occurrence is still uncertain, and record the entire second half of the battle would probably result in a very large capture file.
