Ok this will seem like a necrobump but... was this ever solved for this? I have DKS on Steam and it does this all the time, I love the game but it feels like getting kicked in the nuts each time it happens... and call me stubborn but I keep playing regardless.

As has been stated this just happens at random, I can be walking along a path then the game freezes and I have to use Task manager to kill it, I will be midfight and crash, I will be opening a menu and crash, I will be standing still and crash at some point only realizing I did because I can't move (animations still play and everything)

And its not like at set times, it can be 1 minute into play, an hour into play or anywhere in between... its annoying.
