Hey guys, could that be that you all are using CPU with 2 physical and 2 virtual cores? Can somebody with same problem but with different CPU answer me and write down his CPU?

At this point we are 99% sure that the problem being caused by 2 virtual cores. I have talked with 20 people with the same problem, and they all had same 2 core i3/i5/g CPUs with hyperthreading.

I do aswell.
Hopefully this will help solving the issue.

My friend has 2 cores as well and his game works perfectly no freezing/crashing so I don t think it s related. I think it s related to the graphics card since most of us reporting this issue have either gtx660 or gtx 1050 ti or any other old graphic card that should still work given the minimum requirements but they decided not to pay attention to us since this issue is known since the first beta…

I wonder if RAM can be the problem, but I don’t think so…

33

Nah 6gb is recommended and I have 16 so it s out of the question

Guys do any of you have discord open while playing the game? Because closing discord solves the problem for me

35

It s funny how no dev mentions these crash issues anywhere or at least an official response that something to solve this is being done… Even though so many players are complaining about this issue

Closing discord and steam indeed helped me for a while(around 7 games), and then it suddenly started crashing(freezing, had to close the process) again, without the discord.

I’ve done a fresh install and don’t even have discord installed yet, but it still crashes

I have MSI GTX 1060 and its trying to set my video settings to the max, because my PC can easily handle it, I have stable high fps, and the game still suddenly freezes.
I did tried changing video settings, but it brought no real impact upon the problem.
Btw what’s your CPU ƘȈĿĿȄȐ-2424?

I3-7100 3.9Ghz not a very good processor but My game still runs at like 140 fps before freezing suddenly so I don t think this has to do something with the issue

Man, as I said above you have this problem, we all have it because we share the same CPU trait - 2 cores 2 threads

What is frustrating is the fact that the devs know about this issue since beta 1 and there has been nothing done about it as you can see …

And I told you that I don t think these are related since my friend also has a 2core 2 threaded cpu and he had no issues at all
