Game Locking Up

[Guts]

Can we please fix the game freezing, I've had it freeze on me 5 times in a row and I'm not sure if its because i'm using riga stormega I believe its called aka the fire tornado but it's very annoying to have to constantly rediscover the map because I cannot save every second i'm exploring the game. (by the way great game).

I've got the exact same issue since the last update. It is totally random for me sometimes my game freeze after 10 minutes of playing, sometimes i can play for hours without issue. It is not depended on any shard or place for me.

Dude same. Mine seemingly has the pattern of me using that ability and it locks up on too many hits at once but I did have a couple like yours being completely random with little playtime.

[Tharnel]

What troubles me the most is no one talking about this freeze issue hope but doubt it will get fixed. I can't alt+tab when this occurs what about you? I always ready up my task manager on second screen in case of something happens lol or else i have to restart my pc.

Game randomly just started locking up on me too. No idea why but every time I try to play now the game will just completely lock up after a few minutes with the music still playing and everything frozen and I have to force quit the application, is it the same kind of freeze for you?

Seems like it started happening ever since I reached the "Bridge of Evil" area, even though I'm not even in that area when the freeze happens. I'm also using Riga Storaema but I was using that for a long time with no issue so I don't think that is the cause for me at least.

Try reading this reddit posting. It may or may no help you but it is worth a shot.

Thank you! It is the same issue i will try that fix.

I haven't tried the suggestion in the reddit post yet to see if it works but it seems the crashes now are almost entirely guaranteed at this point which is very unfortunate. Is the core switching only benefit the non steam versions or all versions of the game?

*UPDATE* I just tried to switch to just core 0 and 2 as suggested and still froze within 15 minutes. Needless to say, this sucks.

my game keeps freezing as well. opening task manager when this happens, my PC tells me im running out of memory (8gb) and suggests closing RotN. but im only using about 60% of my memory in total. sometimes its after leaving the save room upon reloading the game, other times i get a black screen when entering a room, once when i entered a boss room, and sometimes just because.

"Because SotN" is turning into "Because RotN"

Edit: an error message for the first time. telling me ive run out of Video Memory while loading a texture. ive got an RX 580 4gb and i had Radeon Overlay open to examine the issue. i was only using 1.7gb of my 4gb allotment at 1440p and Epic settings

I've tried the fix and played for 1 hour with core 0-2 enabled, it didn't crashed. Will test it more tomorrow.

Also read the warning nerd alert as well. It will explain a theory on what could be wrong and why the game is locking up. Also for those who have social media accounts I would let the devs know about this issue so they can work on a fix.

I have only had one crash in my 15 hours or so but you need to post your specs if you want to try and work out what it might be.

[Guts]

I mean I don't know what exactly I need to post for specs but my main things are an i7-3770, GTX 970 video card and 16gb of ram if that helps anything. I'm also running win 10 if that matters.

[Melodia]

Having this issue too, Win7 here with 16GB. It happens immediately upon player control using a new file. Then tried using my main save and it worked fine for a couple minutes before just completely black screening -- rest of the computer kept going normally (my music player was still playing music) and I had to press the computer's power button to get out of it.


EDIT: It works fine in windowed mode, ssemingly. Bizzare. Still needs to get fixed ASAP.

[Tharnel]

Tried again for 4 hours today, no crash. Well, it looks like fixed!

yep its a bit unstable atm, hopefully the next patch will have it fixed.

good thing there are save rooms left and right
