Freezing on Class Select

[Crazy Jim]

After about 30 hours, I decided to start a new character. I get to the point where you get the amulet for the first time and go to create a class. I've tried to select a class and create one from scratch, but when I confirm the game just freezes. This did not happen on my first character.

I have verified game files, renamed the .dll, allowed through firewall, and ran as admin.
I did update my graphics driver, but the game started stuttering like crazy, so I downgraded to a stable version.
Moved to another drive, did not solve.
Changed settings in Nvidia Control Panel as someone suggested in another post, no fix.

Using;
Windows 11
Installed on M.2
RTX 3070ti
48GB RAM
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

Anyone else experience this and have a solution?

Decided to create a 3rd character to see if the issue would occur on it, and it did not. Somehow the 2nd character I made it just bugged.

Yes, I was making a 3rd character, game will freeze at class selection every time. I can play the other two toons just fine, but trying to make a 3rd. nope not going to happen. It's not the drivers or Steam, both up to date and verified. I have just over 47 hours in and this starts. WTF over?

i downloaded the game off Steam on Monday. For the first day, the game worked great and i was really enjoying it. By Tuesday, the game was crashing every 10 minutes or so. Today, Thursday, I put the graphic setting low, all of the settings. It was working well again. After about 30 mins. I updated the graphics to medium settings. Then my game crashed.

The issue started happening to me as well with the game freezing at class selection. Don't know what is going on. Same as OP. I started a new character and now this is happening.

====Update====

So, I guess there is an issue with maxing out stats to 100 during tutorial. Not doing this seemed to allow me to progress past the class selection screen.
