Hard crashing PC locks up

Fixed here with a check of installed files in steam. I had 1 corrupted file.
Since, no more crash.

I run off the client, can anyone else confirm if this works for the steam version?

Pretty crap, this has happened to me a handful of times as well

Afraid to even try playing more based on what other people are saying. What's the potential damage to our PCs? Overheating the CPU?

I've probably crashed like 5-6 times, never left my pc run for more than a minute or so before I pushed the hard restart button. Really worried about potential permanent damage to my PC but I don't know about this stuff at all. How do you even know if its done damage?

Data loss/corruption. You are shutting down your OS in the middle of working.

So more of a software issue? It's not going to like permanently fry my CPU forcing me to buy a new one? I'm still going to avoid playing for now to avoid the issue. System seems fine right now.

No, with a modern computer that should not damage the hardware. You risk corrupting your data though, so it's best to avoid it. GGG is working on a fix already, so here's hoping that it'll be out relatively soon.

Ok makes sense, thank you for the responses

Got the same issues as everybody, and i'm still trying to figure out a way to solve the issue (even if I'm pretty sure I can't really do much except give feedback).

I made a post with all my attempts trying to solve this.

Hope GGG is working to solve this very concerning issue, making us wearing down our hardware with hard reboot our PCs.

Where is any information that they are working on this problem, because I unfortunately did not find this information. I got the same problem like others

PC Crashing FIX:
To whom this may concern, I have been having this issue as well and I haven't had any issue since I started turning off Engine MultiThreading when I teleport. Yes this is tedious however it works. This is probably has to do with a race condition happening in the level building process or the video pipeline deadlocking.

Computer specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7 8700k
GPU:NVIDIA GForce RTX 3070 Ti 8GB
RAM: 16Gb 3200MHz

TLDR: Turn multithreading off when teleporting, turn multithreading on when playing for more frames.

I have the same problem. The game just crashes on me every few minutes.

Computer specs:
ryzen7 7800X3D
Geforce 4070TI SUPER
RAM 32 GB

Set -2 cores in Processor affinity looks like fix it for me
