Game freezes, locks up, when entering an Echo

Hardware:
Graphics card msi gaming x trio 6800 xt
Cpu- Ryzen 9 5900x
3600 mhz 32 GB DDR4
Windows 10

When I enter into echos, the game freezes and I have to close it through steam or task manager to reopen it. This happened in “Ending the Storm” and “Fall of the Outcasts” echos. It did not start to happen until 0.8.1G

Hey, Welcome to the forums…

You did not provide your system informaiton, in-game settings & game logs so its hard to help you.

A lot of people - even with high end systems like yours - are having stability problems…

I am guessing but I expect that you are running a high resolution with all the in-game settings on Ultra/Very High?

If you are, then this is likely the cause of your instability… LE is still in beta and has lots of performance issues that are related to graphic settings and it has been happening for patches since 0.7 (when I started playing). Even users with high end systems running 1440p+ resolutions at 120fps have found that setting the in-game graphics to higher than Medium causes a lot of stability problems.

The trick is to dial-back the settings in favour of stability.

The recommended method is to temporarily set your graphics to 1080p, 60fps ratelimited, all graphics to very low or disabled… Test.

If its stable, then up the resolution, nothing else. Test
If its stable, then up the framerate limit - do not leave it unlimited no matter what… Test
If its stable, then up the in-game settings and test between each change. As mentioned, it doesnt seem worth going above Medium at the moment. The graphical difference is not that noticeable vs the improved stability.

Until the devs deal with the stability and performance issues this compromise seems to be the “best” for now.

Obviously if none of this works then there is something else wrong, but I’d put money on the above solving your issue.
