Prey freezing/locking up computer

[Chotato]

So I just bought Prey and I got to the area where you encounter the first enemy. I attacked it with my wrench and upon it's death, the game freezes. Attempting to minimize to close the game and re-launch lead to an unresponsive black screen and I had to hard reboot the entire computer. I heard that the crashing/freezing issue was fixed but I encountered it just about 15 minutes into the game. Any advice?

Use the steam function on the game to repair the folders, lock for the newest software for ur graphiccard or reinstall it may help

I fixed the issue actually. The game didn't like my HDD, the freezing was caused by textures not loading fast enough, so the game would render objects/weapons/enemies etc. as invisble and then freeze while catching up. I moved it over to my SSD and that fixed all the issues I had.

That should be default for every game these days
