Game Freezes at Random
« on: May 16, 2017, 02:54:27 AM »

The game randomly freezes, requiring me to force quit it. The time between freezes varies greatly, from hours to minutes. The final lines in starsector.log are:
 AL lib: (WW) FreeContext: (0x7fe5f3f67ae0) Deleting 74 Source(s)
AL lib: (WW) FreeDevice: (0x7fe5f4956a00) Deleting 887 Buffer(s)
AL lib: (WW) FreeDevice: (0x7fe5f4956a00) Deleting 1 Filter(s)

Hello there

Those lines related to Java VM.

Please, check your AV :) got an awesome weekend in try to solute similar issue.
Also, maybe not enough RAM? Some sort of system specs would be awesome.

Possibly worth installing OpenAL, here:

https://openal.org/downloads/

To see if it helps. Hard to say what the problem is, though - did you happen to adjust the maximum officer level, by chance? If that's set to >29, it may cause random hangs.

I have openAL installed and already tried reinstalling it. I had the max officer level at 30, I'll try lowering it to 29 and see if the freezes stop. Thanks for the help!

Ah, ok - that's almost definitely the officer level, then.

It's no longer happening, so it must have been.
