Explanation

I am on Epic and this bug has been getting worse since the end of August (10.1.0) when it would kick me after a few games. Now it kicks me almost every game, especially in events.

Today I played 1 regular game, as Ace (main), which worked then one as Vittorio where the game locked up without any Crash Reporter. The audio continued like a zombie but the game was frozen.

I've tried reducing resolution, graphics, playing in small windows, I even use DX11 now by default. Nothing makes substantive difference.

This is not https://bugreport.deadbydaylight.com/projects/pr-5642738318/issues/3135, that pertained to 9.6. My game was fine until 10.1.0.

This is much more like https://bugreport.deadbydaylight.com/projects/pr-5642738318/issues/6426
