Freezes mid game PLEASE HELP! Thread - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

So for some reason the game keeps freezing in the middle of playing, I will be doing my own thing then bam freezes have to restart my computer everytime.

Using the latest version beta with english add on and the old boots models/ if I got that wrong sorry.

Please I really want to enjoy this masterpiece!

bump.
Same here... frequency of freezes changes frequently... Usually happens after changing maps followed by a firefight in the new map.

Is your rig weak? My rig kinda weak and it froze couple time. You don't need to restart the computer, just wait from 2-5 minutes and it will unfreeze eventually. If not just lower the setting or restart it if it taking too long to respond.

Nope, my rig is pretty modern... the freezes are engine related. I have about 20% Cpu and 60% Ram. My GPU has 8gig vram...

SAME PROBLEM.

It this case it has Nothing to do with ram. i have 32 GB ram and it Happening sometime to me too

I'm getting the same issues. These crashes render my entire computer unresponsive until I manually reboot it by holding down the power button on the tower. I'm not getting any error messages or logs anywhere, just the jingle that Windows 10 plays whenever it detects a crash. So far, no one has provided a good piece of advice or a hypothesis to work off of.

I'm getting the same. The game images freeze in middle a firefight but I can still hear the shot from enemies.

I tried to switch dx 8 to 9 to 10 to 11, low grafic setting, but nothing seems to work.

Same here, i have an earlier post addresing the issue. My freezes only happen when i am in a firefight, it happens most often with monolith, sin, military.

You guys found any solution?

no sadly but same thing is happening to me

It seems there's absolutely no solution or specific reason for this problem.

Wanted to chime in that I am experiencing similar issues. It was rare at first but has now gotten so bad that the game freezes every time I kill an enemy, and I cannot play the game. I have to open task manager and end the process manually each time

It seems to be related to killing and looting enemies for me, as it only ever happens around the time I either down an enemy, or just finish looting them

Thought it might be the pda crash so tried to use the fix that was stickied at the top of the forum, but the game would not even load with it in the gamedata folder

Edit: I found out what the problem was (at least for me). It was dynamic music, I had to turn it off. Seems like it's currently broken

Edited by: VCC

Yes. My problem was also because of the dynamic music. I turned it off and suddenly - no crashes. Thanks VCC

Same thing happens to me, black screen followed by a driver reset. Sometimes it happens right after loading the game, sometimes I can play for 3 hours without any problems. It's all on a Ryzen 3900X / 5700XT combo with 16 gigabytes of ram which is more than enough to run it.

Switching DX modes doesn't really help, reinstalling doesn't help. Tried switching to a Vulkan renderer but it also didn't do much.

Log from a vanilla version of Anomaly says this:
FATAL ERROR

From what I've seen, this seems to be an issue for Radeon cards. I guess STALKER really just prefers NVIDIA.

Hello!

I had same issue.
I fixed it via the disabling the following option
Settings ---> Sound ---> General ---> Dynamic Music OFF

Let me know if it works.

Can confirm my last post. I switched from an RX 580 to an RTX 3060 and the problem just doesn't happen anymore.

Hello, guys, I have this problem after playing the game first freeze and after just black screen later I can hear just sound in-game with a black screen and after that game just crush and show me this error so I don't know what going on I using mods and I have graphic card GTX 690.

Same here, switch from 5700XT to 3070 solved this issue.

That's works,
