Game freezes image but can still move mech and hear sounds....

[gundam06]

After 10 or so minutes the game will freeze on the last on screen image but yet i can still move (mech without seeing it) and hear the sounds but only way to fix is to ctrl-alt-delete and restart i have upgraded my video drivers and set my OC graphics card down some, only using reccommend graphics settings in game options and this still happens


anyone else experience this and have a fix?

[gundam06]

no one has any answers for this or any fixes?

System specs?

[gundam06]

i7 5820k intel, 1080ti ROG stryx card, 16g of ddr3, had my GPU overclocked a little but dumbed it down, updated drivers and have started 3 games, all 3 games still froze at some point during play, sometimes i get 10 minutes sometimes its 2 sometimes its over an hour before it does this....

looked online for any answers have found none, game settings are completely stock no change to graphics or anything default settings

What does the task manager say CPU or memory wise while playing. CPU seems a bit old? And DDR3 is also kinda outdated

[gundam06]

yeah my comp is 4 years old, ill let you know give me a sec

I am having the same problem too, and my specs are somewhat more advanced (Ryzen 9 3900X, X570 motherboard, 32GB DDR-3200 Ram, GTX 1080 Ti graphics.)

I also updated the graphics drivers, and went as far as to drop my resolution from 4K to 2560x1440 & played in a window, with the same result.

By thee way, I came across a player on Reddit who was having the same problem, and that person also had a 1080 Ti. I hope it is not a problem with this card (especially as it is VERY HARD to replace these cards right now.)

20% cpu usage and 35% memory

If its driver related, maybe Win+Ctrl+Shift+B could resolve the problem when it occurs. That hotkey restarts your graphics driver. Its not an ideal solution as the screen freeze will probably just happen again but it would beat having to ctrl+alt+delete and restart.

Just tried that - didn't work (the game window stayed frozen.)

What is interesting is that only the game itself is being affected - other programs can be opened and ran with no problems, and I can close the game window without bringing the rest of the system down.

Having the same problem, but only when I try to go into space. I'll launch off the planet, and within 20 seconds or so it will freeze on a frame, say the solar map. But I can still hear the mech flying, I can move it, I can pull up other screens like the dyson management screen or the guide screen, even pause the game, but I can't see any of it. If I leave it running long enough and the game autosaves, and I load that autosave, I can tell the game was running while I couldn't see due to the mech being far from the last known position (by that I mean where it was when the bug occurred). Only way out is Alt-F4 or taskmanager.

Before bug, I'm running about 10-25% CPU, about 20% RAM (I think, didn't really check it oops), and 99-100% GPU*. Disk utilization is low, about 0-15%.

After bug, I'm running a pretty consistant 17% CPU, about 10-20% RAM (I can't remember, didn;t see it as important), and 0% GPU*. Disk utilization is about the same, 0-15%.

*These are from taskmanager, I haven't run the game while watching GPU-Z or anything yet so I'm not sure what the actual CPU and GPU loads are, or if there's a perf-cap going on.

It's a really weird bug, I haven't seen anything like it but given the massive disparity of my GPU loads pre and post bug, and the fact that I can tab out and the PC runs just fine otherwise, I think the game is getting stuck in some sort of loop? Like it borks up for a second and then just keeps telling the GPU to display that one freeze frame while the rest of the game continues on like nothings wrong. Idk, it's very strange, hopefully it's an easy fix, like a game setting or something.

yeah i started a new game all was well for a few hours and now this issue is back again, i hope the DEV's can fix this issue flew to another planet started grabbing some titanium bar and the game auto saved when i was grabbing the bar and just froze, still can move in the background but image never reverses

Look like there''re not many players get this problem. Check out your windows version or vga driver. I'm playing on a very low system with Ryzen 3 3100 16G ram and 1650 4G but everything is good.

[gundam06]

all drivers are up to date so no clue, when i started new game seemed like this didn't happen for the first few hours now that i've built up and are beyond yellow matrix it happens a lot more often not sure what to do sent a fix/bug ticket to devs hope they can fix this

[PhailRaptor]

I've been having the same issue intermittently. Can't fix it, end up just having to force close the game and reload. I can't be sure if the game still does it's safe exit thing (amazing feature, btw) or not.

But when it actually occurs is super random. Sometimes I'll get it within 5 minutes of turning on my computer. Other times I'll be playing the game for hours before it occurs. And most of the time I never encounter the issue.

It's interesting I have seen a couple people complaining about weird performance issues and they had GTX 1080ti GPUs as well. The game is doing a lot of crazy stuff with shaders that isn't the "normal" way games do things, I wonder if there is something just weird about the 1080ti that this game causes problems with (although the guy with the 1070 that says he is having the same problem makes this less likely)

I'm on an i7 8700k and GTX 1080, both heavily OCed (but under water so they stay super cool) and have had absolutely zero issues with this game as far as crashes or performance problems.
