In about 6 hours of gameplay, I have had no actual crashes where the game simply stopped running and I had to go to desktop.
However, I have had several extended freezes where the entire game locks up for about 10-15 seconds and then suddenly resumes.
In every case I allowed the game to have a chance to come back and it always did. But the length of the freezes was significant.
I can’t really pinpoint any specific thing I was doing in the game when they happened except that maybe several of them happened right after combat? Not sure…
I have the same freezes, and can happen on cutscenes too, but the game still running just to us freeze what we seeing, but the game still running the sound and the game itself, but for the player is freeze.
I have been experiencing the game freezing for about 10 seconds, seemingly at random times. Sometimes during a fight, sometimes when I am alone on the screen, sometimes in town with several people around. It isn’t when traversing and loading in new areas. I was in a boss fight earlier today and it froze for 10 seconds, causing me to die. I’m on pc. I did just replace my GPU the other day, but I was having the same issue with my previous GPU (7800XT) as well.
specs: 7800X3D, 9070XT, 32 GB of 6000DDR5, 4k/2k@60
I have tried to lower res, and turned off VSYNC as I saw someone else who had a similar issue said to try. I’ve turned off dynamic res, bloom, blur, etc etc. Nothing seems to stop the issue. I’ve updated Windows, drivers including DDU when replacing my GPU a few days ago.
Just bought the game and I’m getting the same issues. Freezes happen a lot and seem to be triggered by effects. Then tend to happen often when an enemy is killed. It doesn’t just happen then but something possibly related.
Happens to me too, repeatedly. Maybe every few minutes? Really annoying and affects gameplay.
I just tried twice and it happened almost immediately after logging into the game. Otherwise it seems to happen randomly; maybe when trying to load textures?
I noticed errors in the Player.log file:
2025-03-14T14:54:55.991|X|10768||ApiException: Encountered 1 API errors from "GET /configs/EarlyAccessClientConfig": "Encountered a NON-SDK exception: An error occurred while sending the request. Response code: null. Retries left: 10. Error retries left: 3"; Exception Thrown: "System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request ---> System.Net.WebException: Error: NameResolutionFailure
I’m behind a VPN. I added the game to my split tunnel and it still happened. When I disabled the VPN completely it didn’t happen… But this is not an option for me: the VPN must stay on. I have no idea why adding the .exe to the tunnel didn’t work. And I still saw the same errors with the VPN off…
Yes, I have the same problem — the game freezes every 5-10 minutes. This can happen during a race or a fight. What a horror! I don’t know what to do.
Someone wrote that it might be because of the vpn. I’ll try to check it out, but I can’t play without it.
This has never happened before.
This happens to me too. This happens when I first loaded in-game into the realm (the part which you can move your character and play the game not at booting the game). The game will freeze and the game will resume running. This happens a few times in game.
Yes - this is exactly how I first experienced the issue, when I was on older drivers (December AMD drivers, old MSI motherboard BIOS). 10 seconds of lockup, 1-2 seconds of normal, all after opening that first chest.
After updating to the latest drivers and BIOS, it’s now become a crash to desktop, as noted in my files above.
Game has frequent, random freezes for like full 1-3 seconds. Afterwards my char is either teleported far away in the direction he was facing previously or killed by an enemy/ditch in said direction. It is very frustrating. Outside of those frustrating bugs the game runs buttery smooth. Those freezes are -like I said- randomly and can happen either at the first second of the gaming session or at any moment.

Picture cannot be taken therefore one of my previous post on the steamforums.
Did not have this problem until i came back to this game after a few months of a break. Loving the game by the way, this protject is exiting and im LOOOViNG it.
No thinking just smashing enemies and fancy barrels!
It used to do that for me also be then I noticed that the game was in window mode. I switched to full screen exclusive and I don’t think I got a freeze yet! Hope this help!
