TheHunter - Not Responding

[Ravenousfox]

Hi everyone,
Not sure where this would go under the bug section so can one of the mods move this thred if necessary. As a Game Dev needs to see this right away if possible.

Please note: I have a GTX 1060 graphic card and 16GB of RAM.

I've been experiencing game freezes ONLY on TheHunter.
Completely random when it decides to freeze the game, the sound will continue I have to Ctrl Alt Delete the game to get to task manager and when I do it states: "TheHunter is not responding" I then have to end the task manually to end the game.
Some game sessions work completely fine and don't freeze at all so I can play normally but as said it's completely random if I get a good gaming session or not.
Everything else on my PC works fine after the freeze in the game as do any of my other games which are waaaaay more demanding than this game.

I've been getting these game freezes ever since the new render range update I may think it has something to do with the amount of animals generated at one time.
I've tried reducing my scene complexity all the way down to low and I still get this issue.
Also tried windowed mode and clearing game/launcher cache furthermore tried Steam launcher and the website launcher, same problem on both.

PLEASE HELP as nothing I have tried will fix this issue for me. This issue is making the game not enjoyable for me to hunt at times.

Which reserve are you experiencing this on Ravenous? And do you have the Extended Audio Memory box checked in Game Settings? I had similar problems until I checked that box, and nothing since. My Logitech headphones were the problem. Hope this helps.

Any reserve, it's random.
Yes I have that box checked same issue, un-checked same issue.

So no one is getting the same issue as me?

That happened to me yesterday. First time ever so far, before that I haven't had a crash even once. I also have GTX 1060 and I updated it's driver couple days ago to version 411.63. I wonder if that driver has some issue that makes the Hunter freeze.

Sorry to hear that but it's good to know I'm not the only person getting this issue.
I highly doubt it's the driver as I've updated the driver at least two (maybe three) times after the render update.

Its not happening to me, Classic has never crashed for me. Its one of the most stable games I own.

FWIW that might be the problem especially if its graphics related. Try rolling back the drivers to see if that corrects it. I had to do the very same thing with DCS a cpl yrs ago. For some reason it didnt like the new driver, rolling it back fixed it.

Yeah might not be driver issue then. I did put DSR smoothness setting on to 4.00x from NVIDIA control panel to test if that changes anything in the Hunter, didn't see any diffrence. But yesterday was first time I had that setting on, not sure if that had anything to do to that freezing. I haven't played Hunter after that, gotta try without DSR next time to see if it freezes again.

Trust me it's not the drivers.
For example Hemmeldal used to be a soild 60fps for me all the time but ever since those Ptarmigan came onto the map and new render range on top of that I sturggle to get over 50fps
I'm really starting to think it's due to animal clutter because on Hemmeldal even looking at the ground (the fps should be no issue looking there) when there's lots of Ptarmigan about that brings me to be 42fps. on a GTX 1060!
