freezes and wont respond? Any fix? :c

[Oka]

Why does it randomly crash at times, sometimes it doesnt, and sometimes it does. its a gamble and i cant figure out why it crashes... im in a dungeon, and poof game freezes and wont respond
Is there any fix or must i wait for some update that may possible not come?

[leafora!]

i'm having the same issue, haven't found a fix thus far other than just saving at every single opportunity, but will check this discussion frequently for a fix if one is found

I have the same issue, I can't even access task manager without ctrl alt del, and typing P4G in the task manager and then hitting del 😔

[RDG]

This happened to me after 3 hours grinding and not saving, that was not fun at all.
Both times it happened to me were after a battle on the experience screen.

Happened to my twice during loading screens, both times I had to shut down my PC to be able to do anything again.

Like I said, crtl + alt + del, launch task manager through there. Then use the windows key to select the task manager, then type 'P4G' on your keyboard and press delete. It should exit the game.

I tried running the game in borderless window mode and it seems to behave better. I could just have gotten lucky though.

If that had worked I would've done so, but it refuses to display any other window besides the frozen screen.
I can see them via Alt+Tab but I can't get them in front of the game.

This happens to me quite regularly.
If you are on Windows 10, press the Start menu button on your keyboard, click the desktops icon, create a new desktop if you don't already have one, drag the P4G window to the new desktop, and then you should be able to use the task manager to terminate the game.

Yes, that would be amazing if the keyboard actually responded. No alt tab, no ctrl alt del, nothing.
Unplugging the mouse and keyboard would give the USB connection and disconnection sounds but nothing would happen.

It literally required a manual shut down.

OH so it's even worse than my issue :( sorry

[HKazuMashirou]

same issue here.
no clue why it keeps happening

[JanKavan]

Same here. I lost over 2 hours of dungeon progress. Looks like it's always connected to loading.

[Honesty]

So far, in 10 hours+, I have not experienced any of the following:


A single crash
Lag
Anime cut scene lag
Screen tearing
Mouse cursor staying on the screen
Resolution options above 1920x1080 missing
No excessive use of motion blur or any blur whatsoever apart from the wetness shader they use when it rains.


Some things I have done to ensure I have a very smooth experience:

I have turned off the Steam Overlay via the launcher options.

I have disabled Fullscreen Optimizations on the .exe.

I have patched the .exe to use more than 2GB memory.
(go to NTcore's website and download the 4GB patcher tool and patch your Persona 4 Golden .exe file with it)

I have ensured V-Sync is off in the in-game options and in nVidia control panel (forcing it off) - as I use a G-Sync Monitor.

I have ensured the game is running at maximum performance via the nVidia control panel.

I was able to properly select my native resolution (2560x1440). And am running at 200% with zero issues.

Makesure RTSS is not running. Or enabled via Afterburner or anything like that. EVGA Precision running causes zero issues.

[Shajirr]

I have had many game freezes (unrecoverable).
Both at loading areas, and after battles.

Now I just lost like 50 minutes of progress in the dungeon, because the save system sucks since you can't save inside...

Also seems kinda random, since after reloading if not in the dungeon the exact same scene loads fine...

Looked at PCGW - no mention of these freezes there

[BayOfRoses]

My game freezes every time I use the all-out attack (character portraits get stuck on the screen and the game stops responding), but somehow, for some ungodly reason, pressing 'print screen' fixes my problem. Probably won't help with majority of issues but it's something I guess.
