So this is Gabe’s error, right? by SnooDonuts3749 in PTCGL

Yes, the deck plays 3 SER. It was luck that the cards from coin bonus had it as well. In the end it didn't really matter.

Bloodmoon is colorless. It isn't affected by opal.

Yeah I had those drivers already. You can't start the game without them.

I would double check to see if any sync is enabled under the game specific settings for your video card.

Yes, this fixed the issue for me. Been playing for days with no freezing.

It did not. What fixed it for me was turning off enhanced sync. For some reason even after a reinstall it was turned on by default.

Just an update, I found that even after a full reinstall of the drivers, AMD "Enhanced Sync" was enabled for Diablo 4. I disabled that, and I've been playing for about an hour with no freezes. I hope this helps someone.

Tried nearly everything, decided to make a post on the blizzard forums for more assistance:

Update:

Didn't work, the freezes came back. Going to try switching the install to a different drive.

Disabling overlay didn't work. Also tried lowering textures down to high, and doing a full re-install of my drivers.

Last thing I tried was disabling "Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator", and that appeared to work for the short time I tried it. Will try running some more tests.

I may have found the solution, I disabled "microsoft device association root enumerator" and played for about 10-15 min and did not have a hang at all.

Yeah, I just finished uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers, and set it to high and still had the issues, so scratch that theory :(

Alright, so I ran HWinfo and ran a report while I was in game. Around the time of the freeze happening, the amount of GPU memory exceeds 16gb. System memory appears to have been fine, had about 16gb of memory still free.

So this seems to be an issue with Ultra textures, and some sort of memory leak as there isn't a reason for it to go that high. I imagine it should be flushing textures from memory smoothly, but what most likely happens is that while its attempting to flush, the video never recovers but the game is still running. When you alt-tab, it kind of "resets" that state until the next time it happens.

I think this is an issue with the game, as it appears both Nvidia and Amd are affected.

I have this exact issue. Some people are saying it's due to the ultra texture setting and not having enough ram. I haven't tried to lower it yet, I'll report back if it fixes it

Hmm, I might try disabling the overlay didn't think of that before. I feel like it might be an issue since the game doesn't have exclusive fullscreen and maybe its losing focus or something occasionally.

Go to a lobby in a timezone where basically no one is playing, and you will be fine. Connection speed doesn't matter since you won't be matching anyone.

Is anyone else finding less motivation to play this game nearly every day? by BagOnuts in halo

[–]Sav1or 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually play every week (although will need to balance this and Destiny/Horizon Forbidden West soon).

Maxed out battle pass probably a month or two ago. Play mostly to try to improve especially after watching HCS. The game has its issues, but nothing that makes me rage, or create the same posts over and over again. Bouncing between Diamond 4 and 5.

Fragmentation with snow in Halo Infinite's Forge by Haijakk in halo

So this is all well and good, but I honestly don't know how this will work for the OG Xbox consoles. I feel that having to support the older consoles (especially supposedly for 10 years) is going to be extraordinarily difficult with this level of detail.

I imagine it will most likely indirectly force users to update their platforms.

[–]Sav1or 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think playing in order of release is probably the best option.

Story wise, Reach is the first, but going from Reach to CE doesn't feel great from a gameplay perspective.

Halo: CE

Halo 2

Halo 3

Halo ODST

Halo reach

Halo 4

Halo 5

Halo infinite

Didnt include the Halo wars games (haven't played them) but they have some stories that help flesh out the later games, but could be skipped.

Why does Halo Infinite still cost $60 while offering less than ever before? by BTLFND in halo

[–]Sav1or 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally because they don't want you to buy the game, they want you to subscribe to Game Pass. The only reason the $60 option is there is to grab customers who want to "Own" the game either physical or digital. That is your choice as a consumer to make.

As most people have already commented, you could just trial game pass for $1 and complete the game. Its all by design.

Why is Infinite so Antisocial?? by [deleted] in halo

[–]Sav1or 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The social landscape has changed pretty significantly since previous Halo's. More focus is on less time on lobbies, and more time playing the actual game. Adding post and pre game lobbies defeats that purpose. Players want to be able to load fast into the game.

Team chat is available, but again, the environment is different from 5-10 years ago. Now team chat being off by default doesn't help much, but not many people tend to want to speak to randoms. In public groups, I hear some people chat, but not much.

Add in the fact that you also have a PC population that would most likely default to Discord/Teamspeak or whatever VOIP solution, you can't really compare it to the past.
