PTR Pop-Up | Focus on Freezing Issue | Has Ended

The D3Debug file is 12MB. You cannot paste it on pastebin.

Been testing for a while now on laptop, no freezes occur for me.
Any tips to invoke them?

Yeah I’m having same problem can’t post on Pastebin file is to large! My file is 710 KB after running two Greater Rifts to get game Freezing.

HTH, how many from one person do you need. I can generate tons of these as its a constant problem.

Hi:

@RevButtKick, The limit on PasteBin is 512K per paste… I suggest you split it in two and paste each half separately.

@Niercraft, sorry bro… there’s no way you can paste that large a file on Pastebin… you will need to trim it down somehow. Even pro members can only go to about 10 MBytes.

====================================================================================

From the Pastebin FAQ :

What is the maximum paste size?

The maximum size a paste can be is 512 kilobytes (0.5 megabytes). This is should be enough for almost any script, and it prevents people from jamming our servers. PRO members are allowed to create pastes up to 10 megabytes.

Update 5:00pm (PST)

We have gathered a sufficient amount of data to implement a fix, and are now working towards creating a new build to do another round of testing. Here’s what’s coming:

  • 8/5 | As of this post, we can halt further testing!
  • 8/6 | A new PTR Pop-up build will be created and we’ll notify this thread once it’s available for an update. We’re hoping to see if the freeze issue subsides or continues through the new build. We’re asking folks to see if there are ways to reproduce the bug and if so please share D3Debug.txt files like we all did today.

We want to take the time to give an enormous amount of thanks to all of you watching, listening, sharing, and posting on this issue. We all thought it was the coolest thing for us to come together to identify some of the issues regarding the freeze, and we understand that you took time from your day to help - thank you :bowing_man:!. Looking forward to the investigation continuing tomorrow and hopefully, we’ve all fixed this together!

Thanks for the heads up was thinking of splitting it in half. Tried to go pro but pro is sold out!

Guess I will have to wait for next patch update now!

Awesome, thank you for the update and a huge thanks to the devs working behind the scenes on this fix =)

Happy to help. Just found another freeze and came to post but found this update so I’ll be back tomorrow to help out with the new build! Have a good night everyone!

I’m not entirely certain if my crashes are the same bug or not, but it happens pretty frequently so I figured I should share.

Usually I find it happens within a few minutes of starting a game, although it occasionally happens after a longer time. More often than not, if I get through a regular rift, it won’t crash for an hour or so. I also get crashes more frequently if I alt+tab.

For this one, I had started a new game, ran a quick vault run, and then I was just moving inventory around in town when it crashed:

Fired up PTR
Made PTR Copy
Put Deathwish on as main weapon w/ Big Emerald

Started a GR100 with game freezing twice in dense and semi-dense mob areas of map.

There really is no rule for creating this freeze.

It is just play the game for me.

Any Hero class/build will encounter freeze’s in almost every run multiple times.

In this next run gr120 my HC wizard ripped on the third freeze.
My PC gaming system is perfect for reproducing freeze’s in every game, all the time, with every hero.

Respectfully, both of these links are the exact same log, it is NOT from the PTR client, and involves you having already modified your client’s FMOD files, which may not be particularly relevant/useful in the developers work/iteration in this PTR.

Please, when the PTR is updated tomorrow, consider playing on PTR and attempting to reproduce your errors, and upload the correct logs if you continue to have issues.

I was playing the PTR, thanks for pointing out that I took the wrong D3Debug.txt file.

My post has been updated.

Good news! Your logs show what appear to be the exact same pattern of FMOD complications that everyone else’s did before Blues said they think they have a fix.

Genuinely hoping tomorrow’s update fixes your issues!

Since I love to learn, can you or anyone please explain what FMOD is and what it does.

I was unable to post in pastebin, or here due to the size of my error log. Here’s the funny part though, last night was the first night since the season began that I had zero issues with stuttering, 5-10 second lock ups, or having the game “exit” me. In both PTR and normal game. I did have pages of one error though.

I am at work, and can’t remember the error that was just 1000’s of lines of the same thing, I will try to post later. Something like “Missing image blah blah blah {ffffff}”

They have already said that they have collected all the information that they need for now.

I am aware of that, but this is an error that was not on anyone elses report.
I will post next round.

Oh, and thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to inform myself, and others, of this truly heinous breach of forum etiquette.

Anytime bud!

Just didn’t want you to waste your time sending more data when they were done gathering it.

No need to post when no one will see it. Might be a waste of your time, but it certainly can’t hurt.

I downloaded PTR but kept getting errors upon selecting characters.

Anyway some relative info: Season 23 and earlier I was Win764 and had no freezes but varying lag. Season 24 upgraded to Win1064 and started getting 5-10sec freezes and lag was similar to win7.
Have played all 7 Heroes and sitting around 1.5k para this season.
Only experienced freezing with DH and WIZ. Lag tended to vary with diff.

Did a full reinstall to SSD drive…no change

Nerfed graphics and checked drivers…no change

Nerfed sound to 16 bit and (no music but that has always been off)
Zeroed voice and ambient sounds.
####Massive improvement with lag. Game ran extremely smooth regardless of density and solo or group. Freezing still happens but seems a lot less often.

I have noticed freezes occur nearly always on the larva maps and pandemonium.

Sorry I couldn’t get ptr running so no debug.

Good luck team :slight_smile:

PTR Phase 2 is live

PTR has been updated and we’re looking check if the Freezes are happening while within the PTR.

If you encounter any freezes we’re asking to share your D3Debug.txt file via pastebin.

I’ll update the main post shortly and want to say thank you for all the posts so far.
