IC crash with 30 alt:
I'm experiencing severe freezes when running 30 NosTale clients simultaneously, this happens only when entering "Instant Combat". During this freeze, I've noticed that:
- The GPU usage drops to 0%, then spikes to 32%, and drops again to 0%.
- The GPU fans stop spinning completely.
- The entire system becomes unresponsive for several minutes before resuming for a few frames, then freezing again.
My Setup:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
- GPU: MSI RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio 8GB
- RAM: 32GB DDR4 3600MHz
- Storage: Game is installed on SSD and windows 10 on M2
Tests and Observations:
- Ran FurMark for 1 minute:
- Max Temp: 63°C
- Max Usage: 99%
- Stable Clock Speeds (1846 MHz)
- GPU fans were spinning normally.
- Checked NVIDIA Control Panel:
- Power management mode set to Optimal Power.
- Changed power source from the power strip to a direct wall outlet — issue persists.
- Game settings are at minimum resolution and 30 FPS lock per client.
- Running DirectX 11 for NosTale.
- Updated drivers for both the CPU (Chipset Drivers) and the GPU (NVIDIA Drivers) to the latest versions available.
I would appreciate any insights or suggestions to identify and fix the issue.
