Ever since the first patch for season 12 i've been crashing a lot, the original patch would have my client just freeze up entirely and task manager would say the process is suspended, since the patch where the season began though i'm randomly crashing straight to desktop with no errors or warnings, the game just shuts down entirely and 99/100 times i can simply rejoin the game when rebooting it but i have had once instance where i couldn't.
It was tolerable for awhile but it's practically making the game unplayable for me at this point, there's no consistent thing other than the new weapons, i can be walking and it happens, i can pick up loot and it happens, take a mermaid it happens, whatever you can do in the game it can randomly happen while doing it, it's getting extremely frustrating because it can happen at the worst times like in pvp or when doing an event or even just sailing which can result in a sink if you don't get back in fast enough, just now i got back in only to see my ship sinking to the red sea. When it happens if i'm moving i will continue to move for a short while before disappearing from the world, making it a chore to find loot again when i rejoin if i was carrying loot, or makes things like sails/cannons/wheels inaccessible if it happens while using one of them for other people, if it happens while on a zipline apparently i just freeze in place on the zipline.
When i say the only consistent thing is the new weapons it's purely a guess but when i was playing in a group of 4, we had 2 pc players including myself, a ps5 and an xbox player, neither console player ever experienced the crashes while me and the pc player kept having them, i would crash and like clockwork every time the other pc player would crash 2 minutes later, this was consistent for a solid 4 hours, we guessed it could maybe be a memory leak with the throwing knives or something so we all stopped using them entirely and both of us did go a further 3 hours without a single crash. It could be entirely coincidental but that's the only thing that's been somewhat consistent with these random crashes so far as when i stayed and ended up playing with a new group of people i started crashing again when a couple of them used throwing knives.
A few other people i've met and spoke to in game and out of game have been experiencing it too but it seems for most people they are completely fine and don't have this issue.
‐--------
So it's not directly the weapons as i've been still having them consistently happen when in safer seas so that no other player using them can affect me and i'm not using them either.
The crashes have now went back to game freezes entirely and process suspended in task manager which now slows the mouse down to a crawl and it takes even longer to rejoin the game as trying to end the process with a mouse thats like 1 dpi speed. Once process is killed mouse moves normal speed again.
It's nearly impossible to get anything meaningful done while solo. I've been sending crash logs after crash logs to support including the dxdiag and msconfig they asked for and haven't had a reply in weeks.
