Game freezing randomly on good hardware

[stone]

Good day y'all as of recently my game kept freezing / stuttering which is a huge issue cuz it sometimes prolongs for solid 30 seconds and kicks me out / kicks everyone out of the game i've tried every possible "solution" online but it led me nowhere so at this point i'm trying anything and everything a band aid solution was setting my resolution (native 2080x1080) to 1980x1080 and my monitor's refresh rate from 144hz to 60hz (which only descresed the frequency of the freezes) i'll gladly take ANYTHING at this point so any help is appreceated

here are my specs:
Windows 11 ver 24h2
GPU - NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060
CPU - 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11600K @ 3.90GHz 3.91 GHz
RAM - 16,0 GB
(on the sidenote it can't be my GPU overheating due to the fact that i played with my friends during summertime with solid 30*C in my room and as of writing this post with 10~11*C in my room and 54*C on my gpu)

EDIT: found a full on soltion just use -steamMM when lunching the game

EDIT 2: Alright found a full on fix just whenever you open the game make sure you use eco mode or however it's called in task manager

idk if itll work for you but right click pd2 in steam > browse local files> you wanna find payday2_win32_release.exe and right click it select properties and do disable full screen optimizations it worked for me so far and i got a pretty decent rig too

I'm having the same issue, I ended up partitioning one of my hard drives and installing Linux in it, purely for Payday. Very silly solution but I can actually play the game now.

Got a personal fix:

Before you do anything make sure to back up your save file

1. disable steam cloud
2. do a fresh install of the game (i backed up from a 3 month old backup file i had on my school pc)
2.A you might need to set up a VM to override the data or a second pc
3. after the game is installed replace your safe file and for the love of god don't touch anything

my best bet is that the engine got corrupted due to an outdated mod

[stone]

another fix (might cause issues on other games)
1. go to control panel
2. uninstall nvida framevies SKD and PHYSX and the nvida app itself
3. reboot your pc

works fine for me for now let me know if any of it helps :p

Glad you managed to find a solution. I'll add it to my list of possible fixes.

There has been some speculation that the EOS integration is partly to blame; although why this is is not understood.

Already had this on and the problem is new. Didn't have this a couple months ago. Does anyone else have anymore ideas?

Have you recently had a Windows update? Some people have reported that rolling back their Windows update got rid of the issue.

I have had a few since I last played and my windows 10 friends aren't having this issue. Don't know if it's possible for me to rollback or how to do it it the first place though

Just tried uninstalling a windows update but it automatically reinstalled without notifying me and I imagine it will just do it again if I try again.

You might need to disable auto-updates.

Sadly, the issue is super inconsistent amongst the playerbase; so there's no guarantee any of these solutions will work.
