It's been about 2 weeks since this happened and I was hoping I would get lucky with an early patch before starting it again. Obviously not a feature like that one thing I won't spoiler. 

For more details it goes like this. I'll be playing and randomly black screen. Unsure what was causing it. I can hear the game sounds, but controls seem to be taken from me. I could not minimize, alt f4, or open task manager. So I had to shut the pc down. After the 2nd time it happened and I went from black screen to a blank reddish orange one. I figure I shouldn't touch it again until next update or I get a solution.

Any have any idea what's going on? I'd like to fix it since idk when the next patch is. 

Could you give some more details? Any pattern for this? Specs of your machine? Anything else that might be important?

Yeah sure, sorry slow reply. Busy lad.

12 gen intel core processor i7-12650H

GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU

16 GB ram

Windows 11 64 bit

That should cover it yeah? Laptop from MSI

High if not max settings with no performance issues full screen.

Far as a pattern goes, not particularly. Since it's only happened twice and I stopped playing to spare my pc any damage. But when it did crash, I was doing the basics. Running around the base doing some errands. Nothing out of the ordinary.  Maybe something in my world is corrupt?

Does it actually crash the PC, or does the game itself just crash, and you aren't able to close it?

Makes it non functional, so unable to do anything other than turn it off. Even then I have to force it to by holding the button down. I'm not sure if I'm using the word crash right. No blue screen or anything like that. 

And this doesn't happen with any other game?

Correct!

Strange. Have you tried lowering settings?

No actually, may be worth a shot.

Lemme know how it goes.

I'll do my best, not sure if i want to risk it though. Just got this laptop for 1.4k
