Rare random freeze at Cetus, unfreezes on network disconnect

[sam686]

Happened 3 times on me so far. Game freezes with less then 1% CPU usage and 0% GPU usage. This freeze while in Cetus happened 2 times on Windows 10 intel i7 2600 + Nvidia GT 1030, plus 1 more time on Windows 10 AMD Ryzen 2400g with integrated Vega graphics. I pull out my ethernet cable that goes to my computer to shut off my computer's network, then 1 second later, the game unfreezes and starts working again. This might be a poor server connections freezing the game?

The fact that it freezes while loading Cetus leads me to believe there might be something failing to load, possibly another player's loadout. Can you please try again after verifying and optimizing your Download Cache via. the Warframe launcher settings? This can be found by clicking on the little cogwheel at the top right corner of your launcher. It should rule out the possibility of the culprit being missing or corrupt game files.

In my log files i am getting a fail to load object multiple times. I'm not near the PC at the moment or I could tell you for sure which it was.

I have found the problem. The game may randomly freeze for a few minutes every time the game tries to load a clan emblem with a slow connection. I may not be able to fix it myself, as I don't see an option to turn off loading of clan emblem.

 

Verify and Optimize does not fix this problem, and the problem happens on both my computers so this problem is probably nothing wrong with my computers.

 

My windows 10 computers goes through a Linux Debian computer to access the internet. It is like my Linux is a router.

First try: On Linux, iptraf with logging enabled, and delay my internet by 4 seconds. Freezes immediately after the following, with no more UDP send packets until the game unfreeze. The problem is something to do with a slow connection to TCP 80 server.

Wed Aug 29 06:25:34 2018; TCP; eth1; 52 bytes; from 192.168.3.2:58564 to 205.185.216.42:80; first packet (SYN)
Wed Aug 29 06:25:34 2018; TCP; eth1; 52 bytes; from 192.168.3.2:58565 to 205.185.216.10:80; first packet (SYN)
 

Second try: Used apache local Proxy server, and on Linux iptables firewall, redirect all Port 80 connection from one computer to my proxy, with this command: iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.3.2 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.3.1:8080

Delayed internet connection. Game freezes each time the game loads clan emblem, and unfreezes later every time. My apache logs shows this.

Oh and as I was typing this reply, the game while in Cetus doing nothing, did a 20-40 second freeze 10 more times over a 12 minute period, with Apache log, working like a Proxy, shows 10 more ClanEmblem entries. I can remove my internet delay to try to reduce this freeze, but it doesn't help if the internet or servers are randomly slow.

I checked my logs as well and I am having the same freezing due to clan emblems.

Never had an issue like this before the Revenant update.
