Red Forest Crashes 4.6.1
Twice tonight my game froze and crashed when playing on both Red Forest maps, once as a survivor and once as a killer. Specifically, the game freezes completely but you can still hear all the ambient audio somewhat normally (it loops as if you were standing still, but never progresses past that main audio loop, e.g. chase music or Spirit's sighs). There's no way to interact with anything in the game, and if you look at the process in task manager, it says Dead by Daylight is not responding. After about 3 minutes the game finally crashes to desktop and an Unreal Engine crash window pops up. The first time tonight it told me "Fatal Error [Line: 1157] GameThread timed out waiting for RenderThread" I typed out mostly what I've typed out here and submitted the crash report, with my email attached. I'll admit the second time I just closed the game because I was too frustrated to wait out the three minutes for the crash window.
I've been very frustrated since this type of crash has happened to me intermittently for a number of months now, however before tonight, it's always been once a day, and then everything is fine until approximately 24 hours later, give or take. Tonight it happened both times I got Red Forest for my map. There's never any reoccurring interaction that I've noticed triggering this crash, and in the months prior it's happened on maps indiscriminately. The time spent in the game is always different, too. Once we had gotten all 5 gens done and the exit gates were open but it crashed before I was able to get to them. Tonight it was only 2 minutes into my first Red Forest match. And yes, my drivers are up to date, my CPU, GPU, and Memory levels all operated normally throughout the crashes, and I even validated my game files after the first one, just to be sure. I'm really getting tired of this and tired of accruing daily disconnect penalties if I decide to play multiple days in a row.
Oh, I'm playing on PC.
