Games pause 5-10 seconds at a time

[kaega2]

I've used Project 64 without issues in the past. In fact the last time I used it on my computer it was working fine (this was probably about 6-10 months ago).

I recently decided to play Diddy Kong Racing and I'm running into an issue where intermittently the game will freeze for 5-10 seconds and then resume again. I've been able to reproduce the issue on other games also. I'm assuming that this is been caused by a windows update or Nvidia driver update, and am looking to see if anyone else has seen this issue or knows of a problem like this.

I'm using an 5930K processor, and EVGA Nvidia FTW 1080.
I'm running Windows 10 1709 build 16299.611
Nvidia driver version is 398.82
Project64 version 2.3.2.202

Forgot to mention I'm using the Glide64 plugin that came with PJ64

Does the same thing happen with other plugins?

I'll test with Jabo's plugin and see.

I don't want the solution to be to use another plugin though. I like this plugin, and I didn't have any problems the last time I was using it.

I didn't get a chance to try last night.

I have been able to reproduce the issue with Jabo's plugin.

It does seem now that it's only pausing for 1-2 seconds though when it happens

What are your VI/s and percentages at the bottom of the screen when it happens?
