Hey, guys. As of right now, I have several games that have stopped working in the multiplayer departments. Two days ago, these problems were non-existent. In each of the games, I try to go the the multiplayer tabs (Server browser, etc.), and the game will either:
a) crash (probably in response to 100% cpu usage)
b) freeze (I have to close it through task manager)
- For DayZ, it sometimes crashes at server browser. Lately, it has been working as intended, with random (and long) stutters to the application for about 5 minutes or so.
- For Payday 2, whenever I join an online lobby - or make one - and someone connects, my game slows and stutters to the point of unresponsiveness, and shortly after, crashing.
- For Red Orchestra 2, it crashes upon opening server browser.
- For Arma II: OA, it also crashes upon opening the server browser.
- Arma III crashes as soon as I join a match.
- For Contagion, it freezes the moment I get into a game.
I am at my wit's end trying to figure out what is wrong. I've re-installed the games, I've tried rolling back my video card drivers, and I've tried recovering earlier times on my system. One of the recoveries went to before I had any problems. I had tried going back, but the problems were still there. I'm led to believe this is a problem with my router (and the firewall on that router, possibly). However, I am not entirely sure, which is why I am here. It could also be a software (or maybe hardware) problem, but due to my lack of knowledge, I have no idea. Anyways, feedback is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I ended up resetting the rules for my firewall. I ran DayZ as administrator, logged into the game, and the server browser worked. After looking around a bit, testing it, I decided to close the game and try it again, to see if I had really found a fix. However, it only works sometimes. In addition, I have also formatted my HDD, and reinstalled Windows on my SSD. THe situation is still happening to me. I don't know what to do.
