Heya! how frequent? in terms of gameplay time between incidents

[ #2 ] 25 days ago by

Probably around about once every 4-5 hours (which isn't THAT frequent but it's enough to be annoying)

1 crash and 2 full freezes today

Thanks for the update, you're the best. I will look into this today. Sounds like it might be a memory leak, you don't run metrics/haven't noticed ram usage steadily increasing during sessions have you?

Also do you know how frequently you change servers when you play? Do you regularly stay in the same one for a long time or do you change multiple times in between instances of crashes.

I haven't checked my ram when I play but next time I'm on I'll try to remember to have a look. I usually stay in one server until it kicks me out (I think from the server restarting).

This didn't happen the first couple times but today before my computer froze steamVR's display was getting something like this issue https://www.reddit.com/r/computers/comments/8zixrj/whats_the_name_of_the_bug_which_is_a_moving/ and was freezing every couple seconds if that means anything to you
