For 30 bucks I feel completely scammed



This word is overused for situations where it doesn't apply. You weren't scammed because your specific PC is having an issue running the game. They didn't sell you a broken game, as the game is not universally broken or unplayable. Send a bug report.

For anyone that doesn't know, this problem is linked to modern Windows updates and processes that have high cpu usage. It's a pretty widespread issue and no amount of configuration will help it.

Processes hit 100% usage on a cpu core and then the entire OS freezes up indefinitely. By either forcing cpu capacity to never hit 100%, or by doing what I do and directing the system to never let the software touch the first core, Windows will always have enough headroom to not die with the program.

I'm not entirely sure if this is a Microsoft or GGG issue. Older Windows platforms don't exhibit this behavior, and it has nothing to do with bad or misconfigured pc components.

Idk it seems pretty clear from that thread that it's an issue with Windows 24H2 and not GGG scamming you.

that makes sense. im not having the issue and i see 24h2 update waiting to be applied. guess i'll delay it lol
Switching to Vulkan seems to have fixed the game freezing up the video on my PC.

Hmm your script fixed the issue, where the PC wont get completely locked up if the game freezes.

But now I cannot even play, game just completely freezes everytime on loading screen after character select. Few times I made it to the camp, but upon entering first map if froze again.
This script won't stop the freezing yeah, it just stops your pc from dying with it. Whole reason I wrote it was needing to restart 10 times in the span of an hour without it on a 4090 build.

Hopefully GGG can just put in a temporary measure to lock the process to 97% max during loading screens or something.

But it strange that now it just freezes every time instantly. Could the disabling of cores cause that?

Maybe the game just went even worse, idk anymore, I am at the point of giving up and just put the game aside until they properly fix it
