Original Post — Direct link

this has been reported multiple times but I just wanted to complain about it again AND let people know innocent bystanders are affected as well.

the bonus acid damage from Strangler Heart PA will freeze your screen for several seconds when fighting SBs, the SBQ or anything with a big health pool really.

it seems to affect people with Ryzen CPUs the most, but it happens with my i7 860 (don't bully it) as well.

the problem is that, even if you're not using the PA yourself, someone else wearing it could crash your game by triggering the acid.

I've noticed short freezes while around people every now and then. it's only gonna get worse as more people craft the set. it's also literally broken in pvp.

Yup, heard the same, also goes for the laser file, try putting a beam splitter on it and shoot at enemies, if you are on AMD it will freeze after a few shot's.

Same kind of freeze we used to have when entering Charleston or the Charleston train station, but at least that got fixed.

I have never seen any Dev's or other Bethesda employs even making a small remark on this, but it is a big problem for AMD users ans also some Intel users.

A workaround that helps just a small bit is to turn of all cores / threads and let the cpu just use core / threads 1-8, even disable core / thread 0...

u/Valseek and u/LadyDevann would be very nice if you could acknowledge this and tell us if it will be fixed, hopefully soon, this bug has been there from beta release :(

Thank for the tag! We're looking into reports of this. When you come across this issue, can I ask you to file a ticket? It's helpful for our team to see these tickets and get system information from them during the investigations.

Hi there :)

Yes i will file a ticket and try to provide as much info as possible, but it is more or less behaving just like the old Charleston bug, you probably remember rapports one that, it was fixed after a few patches.

I don't have that nice strangler PA, but could make you a video of the laser rifle / gun problem, but where would i poste it ?

You can wait out some of the lock up's (screen just freezes) but the realy bad once never get's you back into the game.

Of course! Videos are always extremely helpful for us when we investigate issues. I would file that under Technical Support > Select your platform > "My game is crashing/freezing" and that form allows you to attach a file.

Definitely! Any information helps, and if you tweaked some things and have more info it could be really beneficial to see. If the original ticket isn't closed you could also add that information to that current one.
