Game has suddenly started with heavy freezes / stuttering

Im having a similar problem but my game just freezes then black screens then throws me in desktop and then i need to ALT + TAB my way back in the game and suddenly my fps is down to 3-5fps???

I have tried almost every possible fix but with no effort.

Any tips how to look for the problem?

Hello guys, i had the same problem and went to display settings, and i noticed that my PC assumed i had 2 monitors, but i had only 1, removed second monitor and problem was solved. i think this is a nvidia driver instalation problem

hi there , i have microstutters in kamchatca match at early match , is che only map i get stutter , what does it happen only to me?

been having constant non stop stuttering for 6+ months

pc specs:
ryzen 7 7800x3d
rtx 4070 super
32gb ddr5 ram

i’ve also noticed alot of the people that have stutter issues have very similar pc specs (a 7800x3d and a 40xx series card) its also getting worse for me since at the start it only stuttered every 30 seconds or so now its every 5-7 seconds its gotten so bad that the game is literally unplayable for me idk why they havent fixed it yet

This is exactly what my game looks like. It’s sad to see that this issue hasn’t been addressed after almost a year.
My PC’s specs are

ryzen 7 7800x3d
rtx3060 12GB
32gb ddr5 ram with 6000mhz

This seems to have fixed it! I also have a 7800x3d and noticed a lot of people have this same issue with this cpu. :o

Its been 2 year for me and still have the same issues even after upgrade my PC … :/

you solved the problem for me aswell

Almost a year from this post and theres still not a true solution?

I tried everything from change components, fresh windows install and tried in other pc.

Edit: I found this solution: Persistent FPS Drops in War Thunder: Seeking Solutions - #20 by RomZero
And i think it working for me just for now. . .

Edit 2: Doesn’t fix at all . . .

For about the last year I’ve been having random unpredictable freezing. System was rtx3080 and 5950x running 4k. Sound Arctic’s nova pro wireless using GG software.

The problem before changing the gpu.

The game runs perfectly fine then I get a heavy stutter and then a few seconds later the sound stops and a second or 2 later game completely freezes. Could alt+tab but couldn’t get Windows apps to work and processes was blank. Only way to start over was a fresh reboot. This could happen a few times in a session or sometimes I could go days without it happening at all. Only happens in WT.

After hardware changes 3080 changed to 4070ti super ram swap and after full windows format a clean install on a different M.2.

Seems to have become more frequent last few weeks but now no stutter and the sound stops exactly when the game freezes. Windows now completely unresponsive, can’t alt+tab anymore so have to hard reboot.

So I’ve eliminated

windows install
Hard drive/storage.
RAM
Game install
Graphics card

Driving me insane.

Ray Tracing is buggy af

So you’ve had improvement?

Very, but there are still moments where this game chokes.

Hello. I’ve been able to do this for so long and no more. I simply feel like I’m smashing my entire computer with a hammer. I can’t play, the image is so choppy and choppy. No matter how much I adjust the graphics settings, it doesn’t improve. I have the latest drivers and it still does it. And not only while playing, but the main menu graphics are also choppy. There’s mouse movement, smoke, everything. It’s like I’m stopping the video for a moment. It’s impossible to play with it, even though I’ve already invested a lot of money in the game, premium vehicles, golden eagles, etc…
this is my problem: https://youtu.be/Zu7IHRGgfQU
ASUS ROG STRIX B550-E GAMING
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (Navi22 XT) [GIGABYTE]
32GB DDR4 Hyperx Fury

If you have only one drive, and run windows, the game, and your capture software storing on the same drive you’re going to end up with this sort of thing.

M.2 SSD - they are all on the same 500GB drive, really

Yea, I myself have a bunch of SSDs. I got the M.2, and then 4 SATA SSDs.

I’d try disable ReLive if it does recording that you push a button and it has the last 5 minutes footage saved. I know ShadowPlay plays up and makes up to 8 copies of the same footage, and that makes the FPS and drive speed chug.

Hello from 2025! issue is still persistent! I have an AMD Radeon RX 7600 OC and it seems to have its VRAM redlined regardless of graphics settings. The problem is mitigated but not entirely eliminated by using undervolting presets for the GPU, and I can confirm that the problem is exclusive to war thunder since HALO INFINITE of all things runs better and smoother and with less VRAM usage.

I don’t use recording software and a different computer I have does not seem to be suffering the same issues.
The PC with the problem is a brand new computer with
AMD Ryzen 7 5700x
AMD radeon RX 7600 8GB OC
32GB DDR4 RAM
4 TB M.2 SSD with 7,000 MB/s read, 5,000 MB/s Write speed,

GPU VRAM is redlined by the game even at minimum video settings.
The Pc without the problem is a Lenovo 5-year-old Ideapad Gaming 3 15IHU6 with
32 GB LDDR4 RAM
Nvidia RTX 3050 laptop 4GB
Intel i7 11th gen
256 GB m.2 SSD
1 TB 2.5 inch HDD
This leads me to believing the current iteration of the issue is primarily involving AMD hardware and is specific to war thunder. A VRAM leak.
Both PCs use Windows 11.
