Game freeze

[哎嘿嘿]

I've crashed the game three times in an hour. Is it me, or is it the game

The stuttering and crashes seems to be related to the garbage collector that is in the game framework and coding... And based on what I know of 'garbage collection' of resources in Java and such, it's a horrible and inefficient way to optimize games due to the likelihood of constantly stopping the game loop to 'GC' and clean up your resources every so often.

When I had a crash the window for GC also appears.

Do note that the game uses quite a lot of GPU resources for itself in this game, 70% of a freaking RX 7900 XTX so to speak.

Me too i have black scrreen freeze now. Something is wrong or buggy.

The windows maintenance and security page tells me that Windows has a 'hardware' issue.

That isn't to say that the driver of the GPU is bad, but the driver timed out, which is very common it seems with my GPU and a lot of 3d games that uses certain amount of resources.

For all AMD users, I suggest this: Pull up the metrics overlay and hide it in the corner very small, it seems to keep the driver from timing out so often by keeping the GPU 'updated' on this statistic over time instead of stopping when a game that is using the GPU stops responding for over a certain period of time (hence the timeout).

If you really want to see how your drivers function ingame, enable the graphs overlay and run benchmarks of games and such to see if the the metric suddenly 'stopped' and stuttered, and if that happens you see a big dip in the charts/graphs.

I tested this theory in Hitman 3 benchmarking, when I push my GPU quite hard on the settings and clocks and such, whenever the GPU is unstable from too much 'work', that dip and stutter can be noticed. The game runs fine, but something freaks out when the gpu does not respond quickly enough and Windows decides to dislodge the GPU and call it quits, hence crashing.

Setting your framerate above 120-144 fps and staying around that cap, seems to trigger it to stutter and dip more often.
