Game crashing since Build 17680670 update (11 Mar 2025)

[BRAZZERS]

Consistently freezing during play, before AND after GPU drivers and Windows updates. Only since this most recent minor game update. NOT a driver timeout, rest of running tasks remain unhindered and accessible, able to alt-tab, etc. Game only becomes unresponsive and unrecoverable.

Windows 10. 5800X3D, 7900XTX.

E.g. Deathmatch for a few minutes, suddenly freezing (possibly when taking damage, but could just be coincidental timing)

Feel free to comment if experiencing the same, as this may help to raise awareness quicker.

yea would be nice if valve could finally manage it to keep a log of their updates they do to their game, so users can essentially debug themselves(since valve wont do sht)
by that i mean E V E R Y update from kilobytes to gigabytes. cs update blog wont show small updates.
and by log i mean a brief summary in bullet point style to shortly explain just what TF they "updated" again.

also think they should be able to push fixes more than once a day for ♥♥♥♥ like this? surely all of them are not in san francisco

same here, steam deck usually docked. was working a few days ago, but today sometimes i take damage and i have to restart my entire deck.

I have the same problem. I found a solution to not restart the deck. When game freeze, just hold the Steam button + B for 5 sec. This close the application. Help me a lot!

Hello Valve, 24 hours later and you guys haven't even acknowledged your last update was broken and effed everything up. Embarrassing. Fix your crap software please.

Today's update resolved the issue for me, running perfect.
