Patch 1.1 - Game crashes/freezes in Rostok

[Suspector]

The game crashes and freezes in Rostok (round Traders).
It also have massive frame drops in the city.
It freezes the system or Windows is unable to show even Winlogon screen and prompt to hard reset.
Another crash caused my BIOS controlled fans to spin up an down unregulary and I needed to reboot.
Outside Rostok I was playing 1/2h without issues.

Before the patch 1.1, I had not single crash or freeze, except on stairs in a tunnel, which was working after restart of the game with a 3-5 sec. lags.

Playing on Epic Settings, DLSS Quality, 2560x1440, RTX-2080-Ti, R7 7800X3D, 32GB

I have the same issue in Rostok. There are frequent crashes near traders and during the use of the personal chest. I'm playing through GeForce Now Ultimate.

Checkout your ram consumption. I've got 28GB at Rostok once, seem to be memory leak

[westgate]

so quick solution for everyone .. dont go to Rostock anymore at least till they found out what they did wrong

[Del-Dredd]

You should be on 1.1.3 now

[KrzysiuM]

[opiel3373]

can we some how roll back to before 1.1.1 because everything worked fine until the patch that was supposed to fix everything..

yeah, i can confirm the Rostok freeze, ive had it 8-9 times. needing to sign out of windows to unfreeze, or ctrl win d , open task manager , right click on it for always on top , to end process in task manager. Its around in Rostok, especially personal stash, upgrades and traders. But also at times random places in Rostok, on my way out of the area. : Edit : its now happening even more than before... 3 freezes in 5 mins.

Game crash only on Rostok (Bar). 0 crashes in other places. Only when come to the Bar game let me play about 5 minutes then freeeze and crash.

Same here. Playing since day 1. I had some sound bugs, performance issues and minor glitches before. But I had the first crashes in Rostok. And it was easy to replicate. Just load the game got to the house where the traders are and interact with things like traders or your stash. Within a minut the game freezes - with ambient music still playing.

When I switch to task manager immidiatly after freeze I could observe that the game already allocated 30GB and it keeps allocating about 5GB memory per second until my 96GB are filled up then the games crahes and exists.

A few meters away - out side that building - I have no issues apart from some minor performance hick ups. But I play on a Thinkpad P1 with i9 13900H and RTX2000Ada - so not exactly a potent gaming rig ;)

How can you play on epic settings at 1440p on a 2080 and meanwhile I’m on a 3070ti and can nearly even manage to run it on high?

[Angry Squid]

also getting this. was mostly happening in inventory screens, but just had a crash inside an arena battle. I have 64MB of memory and task manager shows 99% usage.

Same here. Game freezes in Rostock like crazy. After patch. Had no problems before. Today I experienced already 5 freezes. Had to kill the game through task manager. Crazy.

[λnti-citizen one]

I cleared the shader cache like someone in other thread suggested and that fixed the stuttering in rostok for me, i couldn't do the task manager priority set 'cause i don't know how to do it but that was enough from my end.

I suggest folks report a bug here https://support.stalker2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new to get their awareness and attention on this

I can confirmy this is a memory leak. Just after game froze onmy in Ristok RAM usage went from 20GB to 64GB.
