[Latest Experimental Build] Game freezing at random points

[Mickah]

Hello

Before anyone states I should try going back to the stable build, I've tried about 4 of the builds, including the stable one and the same thing happens on all of them.

After anytime between 5 mins and an hour (I played for about 3 hours last night and it didn't happen) the game freezes. My computer doesnt crash, I can still alt tab and force the program close, but the ui and the game freezes. It doesn't appear to have any Rhyme or reason, but I have to force quit the program and restart it. Even if I wait 20 minutes the game doesn't "crash" - the UI just remains frozen.

I created a mini dump of the game whilst it was frozen:

I also have this windows version: Version 1151 (Build 10586.545) I updated my GFX drivers last night so it's not that.

I have 8 gigs of ram on an i7 4790 using an EVGA 970 OC. I don't have EVGA precision running (I've checked services) and I don't have any other major software running I do have anti virus (Avast Free) but I have that on Gaming mode.

Any ideas?

Sorry for delay in replying!

I left it running today whilst watching some tv with my wife and it froze whilst in the menu screen

Here is the log

2196.805 Device reset external.

This is probably the cause. Did the computer go to sleep, graphics driver crash (and reload in a flicker), or some other kind of odd graphical thing happen?
It's possible that it's a bug that the game freezes but usually you don't see devices being reset just out of the blue.

Hi, can you upload the minidump you created? (C:\Users\<your_username>\OneDrive\My Documents\factorio.dmp)
