So this isn't really a modding related issue, but I was recommended to try getting some help from this channel because my issue seems to be heavily technical related. Basically, my game seems to freeze up every so often when I try dashing or if I die. It doesn't always occur with each dash/death, but it happens frequently enough that the game becomes a lot more difficult to play. I've attached a video of an example of it happening.

No crash reports, and the game is still able to run, but the freezes happen for about 3-5 seconds and disorients me after the freezing ends.

I've tried using a couple of methods that the kind people in this server as well as online threads have recommended, but nothing seems to have resolved the issue so far. Here's an arbitrary list of everything I've tried:

Switching the game to the OpenGL beta version
Adjusting Windows Firewall settings to allow the game
Reinstalling/verifying game integrity
Disabling/altering multiple in-game settings such as v-sync, assist mode, fullscreen, etc.
Using the XNA and FNA betas

I really want to play the game, since it seems like such a great experience, but the freezing just makes it a bit frustrating to try and get through the game. Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I've tagged this as a crash, even though the game technically crashes, so there isn't a log file I can really attach. And, I'm currently using a brand new vanilla installation of Celeste on Steam.

try switching to the opengl beta and adding --graphics OpenGL to the launch arguments

#

if that doesn't help, you can also give --graphics Vulkan a shot depending on your gpu

sorry for the late response! trying this now

#

attempted to use both OpenGL and Vulkan launch options with the opengl beta, but it still seems to happen :(

looks like you're streaming/recording in that clip, I'm assuming you've tried w/o it but yeah there's a chance some other program is interfering. what version of windows are you on?

#

i'm currently updated to windows 11 version 21H2

#

and yeah, i've tested it without any other applications open and the issue still seems to happen

hmm we've had some other problems with people playing on Windows 11, but not with vanilla thinkeline

#

after using kalobi's suggestion, the game seems to fully close out after a couple of freezes

#

also, the vulkan option does seem to work somewhat better than the opengl option, because the opengl option seems to create some weird artifacting

#

but both of them still seem to freeze like before :(

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a compatibility issue with windows 11
Have you tried updating your system and graphics/audios drivers?
Also try switching audio playback devices

#

As well as trying installing Everest on OpenGL beta, Everest will update some of the dependencies needed for the game such as FNA.dll

#

i've updated the system in terms of drivers so those should be okay

#

hmm switching the audio playback device didn't seem to have an effect

#

i installed everest but i'm not sure if it installed to the opengl beta

#

but everest didn't seem to make too much of an effect either
