Game freezes without a reason

[LostWizard]

I have had this issues 4 times in 30 miutes now where my game just freezes and I have no option but to kill the task.
My game progress of that (in-game) day is lost and I have to redo everything which is really annoying

If anyone can help me please do. :)

Update:

The game itself keeps going as I can hear the sound, it's just the screen that doesn't keep going and I am left with a still image.

Hi! Not much info! But as the game teached me about your mixed ram (this is taken from lifehacker):
You want to make sure each stick has the same cas latency, timings and voltage. While you can tweak these settings in the BIOS to make the two sticks match, I don't know why you'd want to. You'd have to spend quite a bit of time messing around with it all and probably underclock at least one of your DIMMs in the process — and there's no guarantee it would work even then. Really, it's a lot more trouble than its worth.

Mixing RAM speed, however, is a slightly different matter. In theory, if you had to, you could mix, say, Patriot G Series ‘Sector 5’ Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) (DDR3 1333) with CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) (DDR3 1600), since they have the same cas latency, timings and recommended voltage. Your motherboard would probably just automatically underclock the faster one and you wouldn't run into any problems. Thus, it's possible, but note that when you start mixing speeds, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so to speak. Your RAM will only run at the speed of the slowest DIMM, unless you wanted to overclock the others.

None of this necessarily guarantees functioning RAM, of course — you may be greeted with the Blue Screen of Death if your DIMMs just don't like each other (or your motherboard doesn't like one of the DIMMs). Most of the time, though, your computer will run fine if you mix different brands, sizes and speeds. If you're just doing it to cobble together a second PC from old parts and don't want to spend any money, that's fine — but if you're adding RAM to your current computer, I'd recommend getting the exact same type of RAM you already have installed. Memory is cheap enough nowadays that you're probably better off just buying some new DIMMs and calling it a day — that's the only way you're going to get the best performance out of your PC.

Perhaps, when your pc tries to utilize the other ram, too, while you play, that's where the error starts.

On the other hand, a freeze could also have it's source in your harddrive as I experienced constant freezing on my a52j asus notebook since it has problems with it's SATA connection.

Are you able to run other games with the same minimal or recommendes specs, or even higher, without problems?
Your CPU and your GPU shouldn't be the problem, I guess.

I play Ark Survival evolved, Elite Dangerous, and other relatively high resource needing games
without problems in this regard.

my harddrive is a 8TB I believe is from Seagate

Okay, seems like I have no more Ideas why your error occurs. Maybe it's a problem with the game itself because of the hardware you are using. You can try contacting support with as much information you can and are willing to provide. =(

I've been having the same issue. I can play cyberpunk 2020, Deus ex HR, Skyrim, and a load of other games with no issues, but for some reason this one is causing my computer to freeze up. I have vsynch enabled (as other forum members have suggested) and my temps are all fine but for some reason this game is hardcore taxing my system.

You already have a thread on your issue over here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/621060/discussions/0/3059616584920775618/

There's no need to dig up a 2.5 year old thread for this.

Digging up a thread? Is that a bad thing? Why do you care? I added my experience here to see if anyone else had thoughts on it. I think that's allowed.

Personally I don't really care, and the moderators don't enforce it here, in this forum (sadly). But this is called "Thread Necro". In general on most internet forums (steam and non-steam) they consider replying to any thread older than 6 months as "Very Bad". It's general internet forum etiquette to "not do that". Some other game's forums even on steam have moderators that will enforce it (Satisfactory forums for one) including warnings, threads being closed and ultimately bans if people do it too often. Most non-steam forums on the internet have hard rules about thread necro and will enforce it.

Had same issue. For me helped changing to play in a window mode.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
