I finally had a variant of the hang that properly crashed, creating a crash folder here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/712356373769486446/1193048079973240834/crash_folder_19108_20240105_222323.zip I assume the most important bit would be this: [quote]NVIDIA-Aftermath-DeviceStatus: call failed: bad00004 NVIDIA-Aftermath-GetData: call failed: bad00000 D3D-DeviceRemovedReason: graphics: dxgi device removed error [mapping a GPU resource]: [DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG] The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is an design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed.[/quote] The GPU was just replaced for an unrelated reason about 2 months ago. The drivers were just freshly reinstalled, following the instructions for proper DDU usage. I have no reason to suspect this is an issue with the driver installation given how long I've had this issue, and that it has survived multiple hardware changes. I do not believe it to be related to the CPU either given that I have found reports of it happening on Intel systems. Bungie and/or Nvidia needs to look into this please. I know it's not a high priority bug, but it is still something that should not be happening with consistency. Some more information on why I finally got a proper crash, I was testing multiple "maybe it's this" ideas at once so I cannot specifically say which it was. The most important changes I made were setting the game to Fullscreen instead of Windowed Fullscreen (which I believe to be the most likely cause currently, ever since the change in Witch Queen to Windowed Fullscreen may be when this bug was introduced). I also was testing with HAGS and Fullscreen Optimizations disabled in Windows, and with VRR disabled on my monitor. There is a chance any of those made the game crash gracefully instead of hang indefinitely. Regardless, I believe this crash report does capture the same bug.
