Mhw complete pc Freeze

[Nox]

Just had it happen, blamed it on the techncial state, but figured I would ask here too.

Anyone else had this happen to them?
Mhw just completely freezes your pc, you will have frozen screen with the last frame of your gameplay, eventually its needed to Hard restart pc manually.

me too, but it started happening after the last past patch, before none

Games locking up your PC can trace back to many things, overheating, storage failure, ram failure, Windows acting up because of ram, storage or other Software complications, ot your psu.
It's hardly ever a game itself, unless there is a known issue like a ram leak.

Same

IT started today aswell, we're several player in the same boat. for everyone we played 40-60 without issues, and issues appeared today. IDK if capcom communicated on twitter about this

sometimes the MHW just shut itself down .
it crashes unless i activate MSI extreme performance (which is an overclocking if i understand)
i Guess they will fix it, i don't like hearing a noisy laptop (yeah i know desk PC are better but i like to play in different places)

Well for me, (and a lot of other ppl) nothing changed on my PC in the last 2 weeks, beside this patch

I had to manually go to and to download a chip set update for my amd to fix this on another have apparently it was not important enough to auto update it.

Weirdly enough this happened to me during the weekend, froze up on the quest rewards screen, couldn't shut the game down through Steam or Task manager, had to restart my PC completely. The error was related to something on the kernel level of my OS, my guess is their DRM and Denovu are at fault.

If it was working well before the Patch and suddenly locks up your PC now, i suggest looking into Chip set Updates or downgrades.

Another good idea is to always Grab a dxdiag and send it to the developers if sudden issues arise. It's valuable Information for them to be able to more quickly fix issues that can happen on different Setups using different Software.

If it was kernel 41, thats just notifying you PC was restarted by unusual means (hard restart through power button)

Just now after the update. My game ran fine before.

I was dealing with this a lot towards the end of last week, setting rebar in my Bios improved the situation. Since changing it on sunday, it has only crashed 1 time over a total playtime of around 6-8 hours (roughly) since then. I'm unsure if the setting is the cause of stability though, more testing needed.

I must mention FPS did drop from a cap of 60 (it fluctuated between 50-60) to ~30 FPS. It improved on monday after the patch to ~40-50 FPS. Personally I don't mind the FPS change as much if it can be stable.

This is probably because this game demands a lot of CPU, GPU and memory (framegeneration uses a lot of cpu power), so your CPU and RAM voltages are unstable, or you are using the new 50 series RTX for which the new drivers are not stable

capcom doesnt give a ♥♥♥♥ about this, performance is not their priority

These issues most of the time have zero to do with performance.
I've seen people unable to hit 30 fps in certain games only because they were using a hardware/Software combination like a Sound card which used Software that caused complications.

It's easy to blame a common factor in software development, but most of the time, it's just salty comments like yours that help noone.

i noticed the game goes up to 10GB in the task manager when it crashes. Before when it ran perfectly it was around4GB, idk why it goes skyrocket now
