cerulean abyss
the game's visuals randomly and permanently freeze at certain points when playing, mostly in FSC, after which i have to restart the game; other things about the game appear to still work (i can still hear game audio; based on which it's possible to attack, take damage and die, step on elevators and move to the next floor/haven, and navigate menus and change the game settings). in FSC it normally happens at a pace of several times per floor, making the level more or less uncompletable even when trying to force through by rejoining a party (the furthest ive gotten is the beginning of the 3rd floor solo, but most of the time it freezes mid first floor).
the freeze also exists in other levels but much less often; it's happened as i step on the elevator to complete C42 so that i can still complete the mission, and twice immediately after loading the first level of T3 in a gate run (in dark city and i think a clockwork tunnels); otherwise it happens infrequently enough that every other mission and even 1-29 gate runs are still completable, i havent run into any other level where it happens at the rate it does in FSC (including shadowplay).
standard information:
- before getting a new PC the game worked fine, afterwards i ran into the issue where the game crashes during loading screen. that issue was fixed by the recent modernization update and i can play the game again, but now this happens
- OS: windows 11 home, RAM: 32 gb
- knightlauncher: no, but i have it set up. (the same issue happens when playing through KL or through steam)
- mods: no
- external modifications: other than KL, no
