Hard crashing PC locks up

New bug popping up in game log:

2025/01/12 20:23:58 5474359 93b1b556 [CRIT Client 4108] [RENDER] Shader uses incorrect vertex layout (shader: 0x00000018 mesh: 0x00000008)
Signature: "Metadata/EngineGraphs/base.fxgraph" "Metadata/EngineGraphs/GpuParticles/render_default.fxgraph" "Metadata/EngineGraphs/GpuParticles/render_sort.fxgraph" "Metadata/EngineGraphs/GpuParticles/face_old_velocity_camera.fxgraph" "Metadata/EngineGraphs/GpuParticles/render_flip_normal.fxgraph" "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/BasicColour.fxgraph" "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/FlipbookOld.fxgraph" "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/DarkenTex.fxgraph" "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/ForceAlpha.fxgraph" "Metadata/LEGACY/Graphs/28_09_2024/Scale.fxgraph" "Metadata/LEGACY/Graphs/28_09_2024/Scale.fxgraph" "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/RotateUV.fxgraph" "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/Channels/Channel_HueShift.fxgraph" "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/ColorCorrection/RGBMult_Albedo_HDR_PreLight.fxgraph" "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/Masks/MASK_UVs_Static.fxgraph" "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/ParticleRandomSeed/PerParticle_AlbedoHueShift.fxgraph" "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/AddAlbedoColToEmissive_PreLight.fxgraph"


I believe this happened just as a breach was opening up during one of my map runs the other day. Caused game to freeze and crash to desktop. Did not BSOD my whole system though. Thankfully.

This is using VULKAN, btw.

213 hours played..
only 16 hous in last 2 weeks
Something is not right on this, cause i loved the game, could not stop playing while it was running & banging.. just wanna keep playing :'(

GGG please hurry up, that number should be at 500h by now T_T

Should I just try and get a new CPU with more cores? I've always been ignorant of this stuff but this horribly optimized game caused me to slowly learn some things lol.

just wait for a fix.. you should not have to change out hardware to be able to play a game

I honestly want my money back at this point. Paid $30 to play the game early, and now just cannot without risking to brick my computer. Should have just waited...

Just uploaded an updated discussion video on YouTube to keep the voice alive for those of you crashing.

Hopefully this is high on their priority list this time around.

I dont care for the money i invested.
Just hope they find a fix soon without all the workarounds.

I just wanne play again without the pc locks, like the 100 hours i played already without issues before upgrading to a new processor and win 11.

I dont wanne get pulled in D4 again next week just because my ARPG addiction need to be fed. :)

Had a windows update today and now have an entirely new issue. Hardlocking is no longer happening, however trying to enter the game on any character leads to an unending loading screen as the CPU floats around the 20% mark.

It's as if it's completely reversed itself from hardlocking to just doing nothing.

I was wondering if patch Tuesday would bring presents (KB5050009). Can anyone else confirm this on 24H2 with yesterday's patch?

That video was absolutely perfect bro

Today's Windows update do anything? I'm too scared to launch the game.
