My game often freezes but PC still responsive

[Jenny]

When playing, visually my game freezes but its not often, and when it does freeze, I still am able to hear the sounds, move and cast spells or interact with the game. I have the latest drivers. Is this something to do with DLAA or Nvidia reflex?

CPU: i7-13700KF, GPU: RTX 4090

After awhile if I don't close the game it says this: https://imgur.com/a/E7Ahubo

I have no idea. Mine is i7-10700K and RTX 3060 Ti. It happens when I move the maps while the game is loading. Of course, my drivers are the latest version. I'm pretty sure that it is this game's problem.

I get this too.

What I do is hit escape so that the game pauses. Then I move the mouse over the menu to see how smoothly it lights up. After some time it becomes smooth and I then play again.

But its a PITA. Not sure if this is an issue with my laptop or the game. As it is, the current game is highly unoptimized.

I have this too, about every 30 Minutes. After a few seconds the window will close itself though without any error message. I know that I can still move because I was playing Coop with my friend and he saw that I was still casting. So the game still registers input from my Gamepad.
But in some cases it will also freeze completely and then just close itself. Usually when I play solo. Happened to me during the boss fight of Act 1. When I opened the game again, I was still in the fight (seems like the game paused as soon as it froze).

Really annoying. AMD 5800X3D with RTX 4070 Ti and I limit the game to 60 FPS with DLSS and Reflex on (GPU sitting at 50W, not even starting the fans). CPU is getting real busy with, drawing more than 80W - in most games it uses like 50-60W. Running Windows 11 but with 23H2 - haven't installed the "buggy" 24H2 yet

its dx12 issue

play vulcan

small indie studio

[F4lc0n]

I switched to Vulkan because I wanted to see if it is more stable. But it doubles the Watt on my GPU (jumps from 50W to 100W). Not that big of an issue but still surprising to see how bad NVIDIA performs with Vulkan apparently. Will try and see if it is more stable though.

And what exactly does the error say if you look through the reliability monitor?

yep. same as mine. so, vulcan worked for you? i tryed it, but it lowered fps... mb dx 11?

[F4lc0n]

Haven't had time to test Vulkan yet, but yes worse performance - halves the fps. dx11 is deprecated according to the ingame menu. I would imagine that this code base isn't well maintained either, but might be worth a try.

You guys undervolted or use kombo strike on your cpus?

[F4lc0n]

Failed to create resource for texture []
Had this happen quite often too.

No UV on the CPU but I do limit my GPU (again no UV), but since it is barely using 50W, the temps are low and the fans don't even turn on.

If you can still interact with your game but the screen is freezing/fastforwarding it means your connection to the servers is unstable.

replying just for the sake of replying, you're clueless and have no idea what the issue is about, might aswell be quiet and not open your mouth, https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3594126/page/143
143 pages and rising of people having unstable connections/lagging, right?
