[BUG] Ravenswood update causing PC restarts

djwinza

I had mentioned it in the test forums when Ravenswood was still in beta, and also on the live part of the forums after it was released. It's now a month in and I am still experiencing the issue several patches later.

Before you ask, I uninstalled and re-installed. I tried Steam, Arc and base game installers/clients. I've updated/rolled back almost every driver. I've tried it on safe mode both on the PC it's self and the game's safe mode, as well as both PC and game being in safe mode. I tried live and test servers.

Consistently, every time I load up the game, within 20 minutes of seeing the Cryptic loading screen, forces my entire PC to restart. I posted a DxDiag in this section, but obviously, no responses since. I won't link to this, but it's still available to read.

I'm sorry if it sounds angry, it's more of a sadness since CO is the game I actually want to play most of all. Also, this is an EXTREMELY new issue, and it is connected to the Ravenswood update. I've been using this same PC to play CO for quite some time, and no other game in my library, even other ones using the same engine. CO is the only game that causes this issue. I hope that this issue sees some attention.

Thank you in advance and have a wonderful day.

Update: Tried to log in to at least send an in game bug report, PC restarted before I was finished navigating the menus leading to the bug reporting. Would I be able to post the in game bug report from a different game? STO, Neverwinter and pretty much EVERY OTHER GAME ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET have no PC restarting issues, so maybe one of the other 2 games that use the same engine can be the surrogate for my sending the in game bug report for this game?
