Game keeps freezing

[Luerger]

After about 20 seconds of doing a map my game will freeze, i'll check my task manager and it has stopped working. It has happened mutliple times, i'm thinking it is because of the new update. Is it happening to anyone else?

Same problem, on any top-rated (KovaaK-uploaded) map. Some maps work fine. Any resolution?

Hm. Can you try using the 4.21-test branch in the Betas tab of the game properties? It has some fixes for crashes and freezes that may help you out.

It's still happening even on the beta. It does not crash my steam though like the non beta does when the game stops responding.

Can you give some examples of which scenarios work and which don't? Maybe it has something to do with how memory for bot dodging is being allocated?

Does it throw any crash reports or errors beyond the regular "not responding" one?

If you want me to give the exact name of the map I can, but its just now occuring and on maps I have played in the past. they are not even from the workshop they are the ones already in the game

Yeah I’ve been having this problem too... just looking for a solution anywhere I can :/

Turns out it may have been long wait-time all along (sensibly for large leaderboards), rather than freezing - resolved either way. Consider optimizing leaderboard load times in future patches.

Just worked out that it doesn't freeze if your launch in offline mode
Steam->go offline...->launch kovaacs

no leaderboard but i never cared about that soooo

thanks, will give it a try!

This is happening for me too. Most likely has something to do with data being send as starting the game in offline mode, as already mentioned in this thread, fixes the issue.

Starting my game in offline didn’t fix it

i turned off my Nvidia Instant Replay via Cntrl+Z and it fixed it
