Err... I'm using an HP Pavilion dv7 laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics card, Intel Core 2 Q9000 quad core CPU, six gigs of ram, on a 64 bit copy of windows 7. I'm running Freelancer with the discovery mod and nothing else - in windowed mode at the highest settings + 1024x768 @ 32 resolution with nothing else in the background (save for OS related processes and other essential processes).
That being said, Freelancer freezes for about two tenths of a second every time a carrier patrol spawns... My recently deceased laptop... which was a Lenovo y530 running an Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.16 GHz x2 with Intel GMA 4500 and 4 gigs of ram did not do this under the same conditions :/
Is there any fix to this? I've re-installed Freelancer + Disco, my Gfx drivers, and DirectX10... and checked my registry, eliminated all but the core system processes, and sacrificed several small animals to several different elder gods, and this problem still persists -__-

Run freelancer from a ram disk. I expect this'll make it much better.

Everyone has that, doubt that it is able to be fix'd. Wut Cannon?

As far as I know, that's an engine-problem. It doesn't pre-load anything but the general system structure. All other models are only loaded on sight. So a spawning Cap patrol with fighters and stuff gives my 4850 those "two tenths of a second" as well.
I'm afraid there is no way to fix this without the sourcecode.

Err... it didn't do this on my late, less capable, laptop... god rest it's mechanical soul. It's re-assuring that others have this issue, so a problem on my end is less likely.
Thanks for the feedback:D
Guess i'm out several squirrels and a pissed off neighbor :/

Intriguing, Cannon, that we should run freelancer from something that disappears when we shut down the computer...
We don't all have oodles of RAM to spare, either, so that's a minor problemo.

I actually like this as it signals that something is about to happen
Plus those 2 seconds ain't so bad - It's not like every ship is spawned 2 seconds

I'm running freelancer on a similarly high spec-ed desktop, and get the same type of blip when the battle-groups are spawning. It's an unintended feature for pirates and the like, so we've a warning to . . run.

Ohai there
I love it, it's a bit of a cheap copout, but it's an unintentionally useful feature.
