Game hard crashes when more than 1 client is open

no errors. Game just freezes, cant force close.

Reformatted PC, all drivers up to date.

I tried turning off g-sync, and removing target/max background FPS also. This seemed to make it happen less. It seems to only happen if I have more than 1 client open.

turned off graphics accell for discord, chrome. I have only chrome and discord open in the background.

This is really driving me insane.
Turning off addons doesnt help. playing classic fresh, win 11, gtx5080 (had a 3080 didnt change anything)

this is crazy. just happened again. WTF

Two potential options: Try setting the clients to use DX11 or don’t run more than one client. Running multiple game clients on the same PC is likely outside of the scope of their intended supported operating environment, which means you’re on your own.

yea. I was thinking maybe something with the bnet app. I was trying to just use the clients directly but it never takes my auth code. hmmm

def crazy behavior, if it freezes and recovers, i can see the whole world re-render. like ground up.

No, by client I mean the game itself.

Also, ensure that absolutely every other program is closed. Overlays are notorious for causing issues like this with a single game client and adding more copies to the mix just asks for disaster. Overlays are packed into tons of gaming related things like mouse/keyboard/RGB apps, Discord, Nvidia/AMD things, and so on.

Good call I’ll disable discord overlay and Nvidia app.
