[0.18.36] Game freezes randomly mid game

Post by CaptainAwesome »

The game freezes with the interface/gameplay locking up while the sounds keeps going. I managed to get a save that reliably freezes after about a minute of doing nothing - the pre crash zip. I also managed to get the autosave that is 5 minutes older and this save does not freeze after about 6 minutes - the pre pre crash zip. Something I noticed was constant 25% cpu usage on my 4 core cpu when game was frozen - an infinite loop maybe?

This type of freezing already happened multiple times in this playthrough. On those occations I was able to close the game via task manager, restart the game, load the last autosave and continue playing without another freeze for a couple of new autosaves. The pre crash zip however is the first one to reproduce the issue reliably for me.

Thanks for the report. When I try to load the save it gives me an error with the rampant mod. Can you please zip and upload your mods folder?

I'm still getting freezes in .37. Also I didn't spot this fix in the patch notes. Was it included for .37?

There are other freeze style issues with the miniloader mod when building blueprints - are you doing that? And yes it made it into .37.

Hm ok. I didn't do anything related to blueprints in this playthrough. What's a miniloader mod btw? Also I haven't been able to get a save file that reproduces the crash. I'll let you know when I have something.
