game is hanging/ freezing in fights and exploring.

Anyone else having serious issues with the game just freezing on you forcing a hard reset? I have done a fresh install and new save. No Mods or overclocking just your bare vanilla experience. Would appreciate some advice because I had no issue playing and beating the game before 2.0


Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Similar issues here.

However when it freezes on me I actually get a window saying the game flatlined. And I have the option to send analytical data to CD Projekt Red. Of which I do.

Usually happens when I am doing the car delivery missions and driving really fast.

My full system specifications:

-Asus GeForce RTX 4090 TUF Gaming OC 24GB
-Intel Core I9 13900K Processor
-Corsair Vengeance 64GB (2x32) 6400MHz CL32 DDR5 Ram
-Team Cardea A440 Pro M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD 4TB
-Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero Motherboard
-Corsair iCUE H170i Elite 420mm LCD XT Display AIO CPU Cooler
-MSI MEG Ai1300p ATX 3.0 80 Plus Platinum 1300W power supply
-Asus XG349C UWQHD 180Hz FreeSync HDR IPS Curved 34 inch Monitor (G-Sync compatible)
- OS Windows 11

I have checked my windows event viewer for application error logs. It says the Red launcher is faulty.

I have updated to newest driver.

Don't use mods.

Latest Bios.

Did a health check of my PC via DISM and did a sfc /scannow. No issues on that front.

Verified integrity of game files. No issues there.

I would assume the red launcher might be causing the crashes or some kind of utilisation error with my processor?

Are you also using Windows 11? Many of who are having these issues are on Windows 11. Could be a Windows 11 issues then.

Hmm, not even getting the flat-lined thing, I have to hard reset my PC because its hanging hard. Yep Windows 11 user here, hard to believe that it is operating system causing this issue. Looks like it's back to the waiting game because until they fix it.

Try opening your Command Prompt app as an administrator and typing in sfc /snannow Then press enter.

Will check your OS for any errors.

thank you kindly

no errors, going to try the roll back method to the Nvidia driver back to .37 as mentioned elsewhere.

[Sparhawk122]

Also in the Command Prompt as an administrator.

Type in the command and press enter: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

It will do a more in depth check into your OS health. If it finds issues. type in this next command and press enter:

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

thank you again for your help. I rolled back my Nvidia driver and the game still hangs, just takes longer to do so.

[Anathema_Dreamer]

For those interested; after rolling back my driver, taking the advice of Sparhawk122 (thank you again) another round deleting directories, fresh installs, and tinkering the game is still hanging hard making it unplayable to the point that it is exactly like playing it when it launched originally.

My game also keeps freezing. I've tried everything but it's not working. I get anywhere from 1-10 minutes of smooth gameplay before it freezes and disables my USB devices for a few seconds.

So now 2.01 is out and the game.... keeps crashing, no change. Again updated graphics driver, fresh install, no mods, just pure vanilla game. Game plays exactly how it did on release.
