Freezing game when using LSFG

[GGEERRAALLTT]

İ just bought this software i was using it yesterday on arma 3 and i was getting like 150 - 160 fps from 50 - 60 so it was working fine but today suddenly it doesn't work, when i press the scale button then the game its freezing constantly sometimes game keeps working when my screen is frozen

Are you putting the games in windowed or borderless mode? It will do just that if you try using it in fullscreen even with DX12 or MPO. It needs to be Borderless.

I have the same problem in God of War, yesterday I played for several hours and nothing like this happened, and today I play for 15-30 minutes and the game image freezes, I can switch between windows and see that the game is still working as it should, but when I switch to any of the windows of programs or the game, I get the same frozen image, the game itself is running in borderless mode.

Weird. Now that you mention it, this was happening with Avatar for me even though i was in borderless. The only way i could get it to work was using Windowed and re-scale the image. But then the problem is your mouse if off with interactions on screen and it was still a little stuttery.

I had issues with GR Wildlands, that exact same thing you had with GoW and fixed it by doing a PC restart. RDR2 had major issues until i changed from Vulkan to DX12

I have already restarted my PC 6 times) Unfortunately, I still have this problem, it strangely starts to freeze after about 25 minutes of playing, then either try to close the program or restart the PC. It's sad because last night I played a few hours of GoW without getting any such problem

Restarting PC is probably a GPU temperature issue, meaning your GPU is having a toll.

I reboot the laptop myself, the temperatures are fine, it's not a technical problem. I reboot in cases when Losseless Scaling completely crashes without the possibility to close it (this happened when I was running it as administrator), sometimes I'm lucky and manage to close the programme and just continue playing without it, that is, it's purely some kind of software failure in Losseles Scaling, which I still don't understand why it happens

*Yes this solved for me by running "Borderless Gaming" app prior, then Lossless Scaling - kind of weird but works.

The could be with VRAM

I'm using lossless scaling on my 4GB VRAM Laptop. It needs some headroom to use frame gen.

I had the same issue as you. Screen freezes but the game runs in the background so I had to restart everytime it happens. I'm playing helldivers 2 on 4GB of VRAM on medium texture quality. Bumping it down lower to "Low" and no more crashes.

I would recommend lowering texture quality down by a step. It might help out.

Posted about it on reddit and some people have similar sentiments.
