    The game keeps freezing on me too. It's happened three times today. All while doing different things. Twice in Icewind Dale zones, and one while walking through mantel daereth. the freezes and i am forced to alt-tab out and close the application. then reboot the game.

    Did a full system reboot... this time I got 10 casts out of it before it locked up my client.

    Ok... works fine in safe mode. 20 casts... no lockups. I turned safemode off, and have the Effects and Lights section of the Graphics settings turned WAY down and its not crashing.

    Ok... I think have found the issue. I updated my video drivers on Sunday... they were almost a year old. The driver I unstalled was just released on 11/19/15. I doubt the devs had a chance to test against it.

    Driver File Version: 10.18.0013.5900 (English)
    Driver Version: 10.18.13.5900

    So I rolled my drivers back to 9.18.13.4475... working fine again so far. Hope this helps.

    Another update... anyone who has a diver that has issues with this... and SEES Maelstrom being cast... will also have their game client lock up.

    This is a bigger issue that just the person using it.

    Well... I thought I had it... but after an hour of it working fine... it just did it again. And it also got another party member. The patch definitely broke something... and its going to be a huge issue if what one person does on their client can cause others around them to crash. See where I am going with this?

    Suddenly Maelstrom becomes the ultimate weapon in PvP ... can't kill that annoying Paladin or Rogue? No problem, just Maelstrom in their line of sight and the match is yours ...

    It's never crashed on me during gameplay since launch. Now it crashes every 15 minutes.
    I tried to run the new Skirmish with the Thoon Hulks and it crashed as soon as I entered and started fighting.
    So I rebooted game. Joined a new group, and it crashed again the instant I entered to start fighting.

    Something is very wrong with the new patch apparently.
    Are other players experiencing this?

    I just joined Throne of the Dwarven Gods again and this time the game crashed to desktop as soon as the skirm started loading.
    What is going on? Seems like other players are not having this problem because I see groups are finishing it, after i log back in. Is the new patch reacting badly with my PC or video card?

    My first demogorgon of the day, client locked up 10 seconds after the fight started.
  • jaotutjaotut Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 576 Arc User
    Something's broken for sure, game client crashed while loading into Demogorgan, and I wasn't the only one.

    Restarted client, and it was taking a long time loading, then got timed out and kicked back to Mantol. Nice work

    I turned my graphics settings (the two main sliders) down from max to medium and i haven't been crashing as much. I managed to complete the skirmish. Hopefully this helps but I hate running below max, i like to look at pretty gfx

    So I haven't updated my own graphics drivers in quite some time.

    Am on an nVidia GeForce 650 Ti BOOST, driver version 347.25 dated 1/22/2015, and am experiencing the spellcasting-related crash anyways.

    Never had this issue, or even any kind of crash, before the patch.

    I am not experiencing any issues with the launcher, nor with switching characters.
  • geetheblueskygeethebluesky Member Posts: 26 Arc User
    Aaaaand I just crashed out of Lostmauth WITHOUT using Maelstrom at all, nor any kind of spell.... duh.

    The next hour I was able to complete demo with the same toon without locking.

    Then on the next hour (a few minutes ago), I tried to do demo on another toon. Locked up within 10 seconds of entering Mantol-Dierth enroute to cave. Now that I know to just log out of Windows, I tried getting back in two more times. Both times locked up within a few seconds of entering Mantol. Now I was worried that toon will be stuck like this. Tried a third time to get in. Now no more lockups, but the window to queue up has gone by.

    This will be a long weekend in this game. I should just do something else.

    A lot of ppl reported the following situations with a crash because of client not responding

    - joining a party
    - changing instance (especially joining a UD skirm instance)
    - changing alt

    And a few even had it while standing still and waiting (happened to two of my guildies).

    Could also be that Nvidia is just releasing really **** drivers lately.

    Maybe a maelstrom is what caused my client to crash during a demonic HE in WoD earlier today--and I'm a TR. It's only happened once, though.

    The driver I am rolled back to has been working fine with this game for over a year. Nothing on my end changed. But after the NW patch, many are having issues... a lot more than are talking about it on the forums too.

    same problems

    i7 5000 series, Win10, GTX980

    From what I'm seeing users with both AMD/ATI & Nvidia so I cannot see this being a driver issue.

    It started by me again. Had yesterday 4 freezes. One restart of my PC and everything seems fine. Now i come online want to get my daily dungeon key and the game freeze.
