Full computer freeze/crash

[Rimu]

Every 30 minutes or so playing this game my computer fully freezes or crashes. I have tried updating drivers and general troubleshooting to fix the issue but to no success. Does anyone have this same issue or any idea on how I could fix it?

My System specs
CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz
GPU GTX 980ti
RAM DDR4 16 GB

Hi there!

Do you have Citrix installed on your rig? Can you check the Windows Event Viewer also regarding those crashes?

I do not have Citrix installed. For event viewer most of the crashes just froze my computer completely and i had to manually shutdown. I have 4 critical events that happened at time of the freezes and forced reboot

One crash blue screened my computer and it left these two events. The first link is a critical similar to the other one linked just the bug check code is 59 instead of 0

Due to manual shutting down after freezing there are these errors after i rebooted

When first launching the game i got this error that calls out Outward.exe

That is most of the important events that happened at and around the time of the crashes. If you need more I can see if there are any more hidden somewhere.

my pc full crash in this game, when i put at medium settings is fine, in the moment.

Spontaneous BSOD/reboots/shutdowns are caused by system/driver/hardware instability. The game freezing your PC is likely result of much severe issue with your system or is merely exposing such.

I had same issue when I would open co-op same screen. If I left it paused for 20 mins or so it would blue screen.
Critical windows error.

The Fix for me was to fix windows. If you are running windows 10, do these steps.

Run Command Prompt as Admin. You can do this by either pressing windows + x or windows and type CMD right click the icon select run as administrator.

In the CMD window type the following. It can take a while to finish running but this will first figure out if you have anything wrong with your machine, if so then get a fresh image from online then repair via that image online.

sfc /scannow

Then: (don't type the then or next or so on.. lol)

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

Next:

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Lastly:

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

I stopped getting the error during normal game play and the game stopped crashing. It only happened on mine when in co-op. Probably is a small memory leak in the application that becomes more of an issue when running in co-op. It still can happen but takes longer for the error to happen.

So issue is with The game and with windows. You can easily replicate the error. Just leave the game pause in co-op for a about 45 mins - to an hour. It happens on most machines I install it on.
