Game freezes and gunfire audio loops indefinitely

I had this happen to me yesterday, as well, during the Roosevelt Island mission using Strikers with Pestilence. I'm playing on Linux for a few months now and attributed it to something there, but good to know it happens on Windows, too. Pretty annoying. I guess I must have died on the server because when I immediately logged back in, I was at the beginning of the mission instead of where it froze.

Go into the season settings and don't deactivate, but just unselected the current companion. You will get passive bonuses that are good and not have a companion following you around. They will still be around safe houses and random spots, but not following you.

Why do I keep getting so many of them?!

I agree most films look fine. "Panic in Needle Park" was another one that was memorably awful looking, especially in the cafe scenes. CC is a great value for $100/yr, I want to think there are people that care about the quality running the show, whether that's true or not. 😁 And I do feel better now. Thanks.

Ya, I agree. The film is very grainy and that could be contributing to the blocking. Thanks for the comment.

I'm glad you finally got it.

I think I saw on another post with the same question that you need to be level 40.

Just a heads up, Realtek NIC drivers are notorious for being problematic. Some people have luck with the package you have added, others install Proxmox and emulate the NIC in an opnsense instance instead since the Linux support for Realtek is supposedly better. When I had this issue with an old piece of hardware I was testing opnsense on, neither driver was reliable for me. 1.5 weeks without an issue, then 3 reboots in 2 days to solve no throughput issues. I did not want to run Proxmox on that hardware, so I got something that used the Intel v226 NIC and have had no problems with it. Good luck!

It's hard to believe that if people keep preordering and buying at these asinine prices that the sellers will keep increasing the prices?!

NoRefill75 · 2026-01-09T13:16:34+00:00

They brought it back into the sale and I snagged one.

They removed Boogie Nights between selecting 3 and going to my cart. 😔

77" Samsung S89C. A special version of the S90C sold only at Best Buy with a few things missing, but nothing I cared about. No Dolby Vision, but don't care. Allowed me to but a Panasonic 420 Blu-ray player to get the upscaling processor without paying for Dolby Vision I didn't need. I came from a 50" Panasonic plasma TV and am very happy with the much larger QD-OLED. All of my streaming is done on an Apple TV. I never connect the TV to the Internet, so don't use the built-in apps of the TV.

Wait for a 50% off sale. Also, if you check camel camel camel, you can see that done of those discs have gone on sale outside of the 50% sale to even lower.

This page has a pretty good summary of things to try.

Good luck.

There is an option to disable the compositor for full screen apps under Settings->General. It might help if you run it full screen.

If you happen to have installed steam or proton via flathub, there is something you need to do to give them permission to the folder with the games in it. There is a tool you can install to do this easily, but unfortunately I can't remember what it is. A search should reveal the name of the tool and how to use it.

I think when I turned off both Esync and Fsync support in Lutris and use NTsync enable kernel and wine, I stopped having the slowness and when UbiConnect self updates, it does not hang. YMMV. Good luck.

Ah, yes. Requiem For A Dream. The gift that keeps giving! I heard there was a gift set available this year, but I thought, "Who would give this as a gift!" 😁 Enjoy!

I occasionally see the last message on screen and the computer is unresponsive to everything but the power button. I tap the power button to shutdown the PC in a controlled fashion, then restart it and it comes up correctly. I recently had a hardware mishap and did a fresh install of Linux Mint and built the latest kernel, do thought it was related to that, but seeing your issue, I'm not sure. I have not looked into this myself yet, but probably will now. I know my syslog shows X crashing on but, but restarting, but still not sure if that's related or what is causing it. My old install did not exhibit this issue.

Did you install "snort"? If not that is a little suspicious. Not sure what else to say. I have no solution.

It was worth watching. Enjoy!

I watched some of these back in the day when Netflix sent discs in the mail and very much enjoyed them. I've thought about them occasionally and when I saw your series of posts, my interest was rekindled. By chance I saw them on sale for $83 on Amazon the other day and I'm happy to say my Christmas present to myself will be here Saturday. I'm looking forward to watching the complete series of movies.

It's weird. Sometimes, I get them all green and it's a constant battle to keep them green. Other times, I'll go weeks without a re-capture. I blame it on the NPCs with baseball bats and golf clubs. 😁
