Northgard freeze

56 votes

Game causes screens to freeze at random moments. Audio from the game and other apps still can be heard, but you can't do anything in Windows. The only way to solve this is reseting your PC.

Screen Freezes Up. can only upload a previous saved version. Doesn't matter if you reboot the computer. When trying to load a saved version of the freeze, it initially shows a completely dark screen. Press ESC to get rid of black screen. Although game continues to play, nothing moves on screen. Cursor is frozen as well. Can pull up menu, but returning the game results in same freeze. Using ASUS laptop. Windows 11. Single Player. I have no control over creating the bug, but 90% of all games eventually result in a freeze. The Game Seed is 1980175981. Version 3.2.3.34113 Map size Huge. Where do I upload a save file?

Playing single player (Win 10, DirectX) during every game at some random moment the game freezes. If I try a saved game, it works and then freezes at a new point, but quickly. Build ending in 169, Map Large. DAT game files are 40MB, so couldn't email them. Seed 588227193.

yeah, corrupts saves into this state too if saved after it's happened. tried save on two different computers, both launch options

1. conquest
2. windows 10, windows 11
3. both tried, both happened
4. happens after a certain point while playing eagles (easy) conquest, foxholes scenario. usually goat clan losing a tile. can save up to it, and going back to them works until tile change happens again and it breaks.
5. https://i.gyazo.com/dbc86850bbd3c2e26cd22d0c49cff56e.gif
6. 394459891 medium
7. two different tests, both triggered on goat clan losing control of either tile, saves of both just before tile attack/loss, and after/corrupted.
