Check for the 1.0.5 loading freeze fix
The 1.0.5 developer notes report fixing a freeze that affected some worlds about half a minute after loading on both DirectX 11 and DirectX 12. Update the game first if you are running an older version, then test the affected world again.
This patch note identifies a specific fixed issue; it does not establish that every freeze has the same cause or that a current problem is resolved.
Record what happens if the freeze continues
Keep a copy of the affected save before experimenting. Record the game version, approximately how long the world runs before freezing, whether it happens in another world, and whether the issue occurs in solo or multiplayer.
- Confirm the game has updated to 1.0.5 or later.
- Start the affected world and note the time and what happens before it stops responding.
- If possible, compare with another world and note the DirectX mode.
- Keep a backup and report the reproducible details through the developer’s support channels.
