Crashes and FREEZES COMPUTER... AGAIN...

[Talonbrush]

When it's not crashing, it outright freezes my computer.
I tried multiple different "workarounds" and solutions and it keeps doing it.


Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700F CPU @ 3.00GHz (3.00 GHz)
Installed RAM 32.0 GB
Graphics Card NVIDIA GTX 1660
Windows 11

If you have Windows 11 24H2; this can be the cause of this problem, it is a severely broken Windows update that has caused problems across the whole gaming - indeed computer - industry.

A user has come up with a possible workaround

Potential Windows Freeze workaround

Victorians! We have discovered a possible workaround for those affected by the Windows Freeze issue we have previously mentioned in our 1.9 known issues thread. This method, while it seems to work on our end, needs to be applied every time you...

Definitely worth a shot - let me know if that does help you! Note that to test it you don't actually need to use Processor Lasoo, just Affinity in Task Manager (for testing purposes anyway). I'd suggest you look at this step first!

And here is another workaround someone posted:

Some affected users have definitely seen that help them with this issue.

And finally, in the launcher's game settings menu switch the renderer to Vulkan.

Let us know if any of those help!
