Touchdesigner "Not responding" flicker glitch

Bugs

Has anyone seen this glitch?

TouchDesigner keeps “freezing” for a fraction of a second, and this multiple times per minute. Please check my video and focus on the top bar (and the FPS drops because of this problem)

More info about the system:

  • TouchDesigner 2023.11510 (Non commercial), default project
  • Clean Windows 11 Home, Version: 22H2, OS build: 22621.3007, Experience: Windows Feature Pack 1000.22681.1000.0
  • Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16iah7h, i7-12700H, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, latest driver version 551.23
  • Windows Power Mode: Best performance
  • Laptop power plugged in to the wall

Does anyone have an idea? It’s driving me crazy :sweat_smile:. Thanks!

Hi @vidiots

As a first step, make sure that all your drivers, including integrated graphic drivers, are up to date and that your machine is free of bloatware.

The Bulk Crap Uninstaller helps in identifying unwanted or unneeded software: https://www.bcuninstaller.com/

Find the latest driver for your GPU at Official Drivers | NVIDIA
or use Nvidia Geforce Experience Update Drivers & Optimal Playable Settings

You can also make sure that your integrated GPU is running on the latest version available via Intel Driver Assistant.

You can use the AMD Adrenalin if you have an AMD Integrated GPU, in minimal install mode, via https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/software

Hi Michel,

Thanks for the fast response.

I’ve checked for unwanted & unneeded software but it’s pretty much a clean Windows.

Nvidia drivers were up to date.
Intel GPU drivers were not up to date, I’ve updated them but that didn’t fix the issue.

Any other possible things I can try?

Thanks!

Hi @vidiots

My feeling is bloatware still at the moment. Do you see any software that came preinstalled with your laptop ? from Lenovo let’s say ? Do you have any overlay that could come from gaming apps ?

Best,
Michel
