Random crashes bricking the PC (hard reset necessary)

I started to play this morning (+1 GMT) and I had no issue.

After a little update, my game started to crash randomly on multiple occasions for no apparent reason (in fight, in loading screen, changing from DX12 to Vulkan), freezing both my screens, but weirdly enough my mouse was still moving but with like 3s latency and very slowly. Nothing else to be done except a hard reset...

Temps are fine, and my specs are :

Windows 11
AMD 3700X watercooled
RTX 2080
32GB
Game installed on a NVMe SSD from Steam

Drivers are up to date, even reinstalled NVIDIA's one.

- Tried to repair the game using Steam, no issue.
- Tried to switch to Vulkan to see if DX12 was the problem.
- Tried with lower graphics settings.

What I'm gonna try next :

- LOOK AT EDIT 5

I'm gonna edit this message (if possible) every time I try something new.

Hope this can help some people !


EDIT 1 : I moved my install on my SATA SSD and no crashes so far (played for 2 hours), Got a little update this morning, I don't know if it's relevent.

EDIT 2 : Crash happened after 2h30 of playing. Loading screen froze then nothing moved (not like when the game was installed on the NVMe SSD). Had to hard reset.

EDIT 3 : I attempted a display driver reinstall (with the DDU tool). It has reset my OC of my GPU, and I got a crash during the act 2 cinematic. But weirdly it didn't brick right away, got a freeze for like 3 seconds, and 2 seconds after everything came back normal, total brick, sound looping and I had to hard reset.

EDIT 4 : Tried this method and it seems to have some effect last night, didn't have a single crash in 2h. It's necessary to redo the manipulation on every start of the game.

Set -2 cores in Processor affinity looks like fix it for me

EDIT 5 : I've had no crash for 5h straight ! I think the CPU cores limitation usage method is the winner bois ! Hope GGG is gonna find a fix soon though.

EDIT 6 : Game still crashes, but the PC doesn't need a restart. I can just kill the game processus and relaunch with changing the affinity.

It must be a general bug, because I'm having this with DX 12

Specs are:

7600X3d
4070S Ti
Win 11

I get random crashes. Sometimes with error message, sometimes without and CTD, sometimes hard crash requiring me to use the reset button.

A lot of people are having the same freezing issues. Seems to be something generalized at this point.

I have pc freeze on loading screens .. randomly ..
