Sudden freeze, gears appear, seconds later the game resumes - Is there a new fix for this?

I had the same problem: the game freezes, black screen, gears appear, and then after 10 seconds everything is over. The map has been reset, but it continues exactly where you left off, including the battle, for example.

After switching to Vulkan, I didn't even have the problem anymore.

The drivers are 581.15 from Nvidia.

Keep monitoring the situation and let us know if you ever experience it again with Vulkan. It might be a separate issue that is being fixed with Vulkan, but clearly it's not fixing the issue I and others are experiencing. And, as Jonathan said, the "fix" was to roll back your nVidia drivers to the version that did not crash (566.36).

And a reminder, Vulkan uses nVidia drivers too.

Switching to Vulkan didn't help me any, Its sad that I am having to play on my Xbox when my pc is twice as good as my Xbox. I've got no issues whatsoever on my Xbox though. You would think that this issue would be top priority we don't need leagues in a beta we need game breaking bugs squashed

That's interesting that it doesn't happen on the Xbox, since I'm pretty sure that it also uses nVidia drivers. Maybe that's because the xbox drivers are fixed at the old version that didn't crash?

I have ryzen 5800x and rtx 3070 8gb, playing at 1440p (DLSS quality), and this crashing appeared like 1 or 2 years ago. I'm having better fps with dx12 and I saw that it's using like 5.3-5.6gb of VRAM and after crash it goes down to 4gb or something like that. Recently I changed to Vulkan and it didn't crash a single time, but oh boy the performance is sooo terrible even in hideout. compiling shaders almost all the time, so many stutters.. like going from 8ms to 20ms and I noticed that VRAM never goes higher than 4.1gb

it's getting a bit tiring playing like this, but I have no choice and currently I'm not looking into updating my hardware (GPU)

p.s. still using windows 10 and noticed that if i use my second monitor (like keeping a browser on) the performance also drops like crazy

I feel like it might be caused by a Nvidia driver update. If anyone wants to experiment try rolling back to one of the drivers from the time when it wasn't occurring and see if it goes away. Then we can say it a Nvidia issue.

In your case this sounds like the CPU core issue I found in my research. There were like two different things,
1. Certain CPUs have temporary overclock modes and that shift up and down would sometimes cause issues.

2. Giving PoE access to all of your cores while multi tasking causes fuckery, there is a fix to limit the amount of cores it can use I think through config or something.

I have played this game on release and it crashed like maybe several times at best in 800 hours. Now I can have 6 crashes in a day. You know the drill: freeze, black screen and gears. I've wasted so many rituals because of this, it's becoming unbearable.

I'm using Ryzen 5700x, 3070 Ti and 32GB of RAM.

Yes, it is almost unplayable. Game crashes or freezes multiple times in just about every instance. Switching drivers from Direct X to Vulkan does not help.

I hade this bug every 30 min or so, unboxing "engine multithreading" in game fixed this issue completly. There is some performence lost doing so but runs fine!

Like everyone else, same issue. Using a 9800X3D and a Strix RTX 5080, Thor 1200w PSU.

Same symptoms. I can't leech with other players, as I'll die and lose XP, and can't solo past lvl 93. Even with Omen of Amelioration, can't maintain more than 93 and 65% to lvl 94. Died six times in two hours last night. Had over 40 freeze/lockout/lockup conditions, 6 CTD's, and four "Failed to create DX11 Device" errors which is also an immediate CTD.

The DX11 mystery error started showing up after the next to last hotfix patch.

I know I'll sound like an ass, but rather than sit on the couch in interviews and talk about "the next greatest thing", please, for God's sake, PLEASE fix this issue. This season would have been pretty good but for the constant freezes and CTD's.

Honestly, you can't say "we don't know how to fix it". The game worked fine up to the 0.3.0 release. Go back and see what you changed - remove each thing one by one until it is gone if necessary. I can wait.
