Freeze, Blackscreen and Map Discovery reset.

[BeautyBounce]

I'm having quite a strange consistent issue.

The game freezes and after a few seconds the screen goes black for a few seconds and then the game comes back with all my map discovery reset.

I've been trying to fix the issue myself by updating drivers, clearing shader cache and so on.

But the issue still persist. It sounds like a renderer crash and it's not my GPU because there's no information about it in the windows error logs.

I've tried to find people having a similar problem but I've found nothing.
The renderer crash seems to happen every 20 - 30 mins or so with no specific reason behind it.

It could be in the middle of a boss fight, in town or while just killing monsters in maps.

I have a clip from steam recording but I can't seem to share it here on the forums.

Any help is appreciated

ALot of us are. Funny I just said "Hey they'll never get rid of hackers/scammers" in the game they muted me too lol.

Hopefully they fix soon

this is the gpu driver crash recovery they added, but its happening a lot now.

I swapped over to Vulkan yesterday and I haven't had it happen since.
It's most likely the Dx12 renderer that's failing.
Give it a try and see if it helps.

Having the same issue on DX12. I'll try switching to Vulkan.

So i switched to vulkan and instead of freezes, the cogwheels spinning, and then map discovery resetting the game is now stutter and skipping for some reason. Don't know which i'd rather lol. I don't feel like it's my PC specs because i just built a new PC with 4080 and 7950X3D. Don't know what to do but it really sucks.

Make sure you've got Nvidia Reflex turned off. It was causing a lot of issues this patch.
I'm running the game at 100 - 180 fps with 4070 Super and 9800x3d
Hope it helps.

Not the issue in this case, looks like they have disabled reflex atm anyways!

You're right, that's not the issue in OP. That was specifically for Luke Skyblumpkin who switched to Vulkan and still had issues.

OP issues was related to DX12 for me. If you're having the same issue, try switching to Vulkan.
