Screen Freeze on Bike Crash

Post by Beth »

I'm using version 2.8.2.1 on an Intel Mac (10.4.10).
When I'm playing in local mode, whenever one of the other bikes crashes, my screen and keyboard freeze up -- just for a split second or so, but enough for me to miss any tight turns that I need to make. It seems like maybe this is related to the sound of the crashes, but I'm not sure. I have tried changing various settings, but with no luck. My frame rate is fine while playing. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thank you.

Thanx for the quick reply.
I have tried that, as well as sparks and anything else that indicates that it could affect performance. You're right, though: it seems like the stoppage occurs when the explosion effect would happen.
I also have audio set to medium quality, 6 sources, but even with audio off, the problem still happens
