I posted this in the Ego Draconis technical problems because I used google to look up the problem and hope for a solution so sorry about that. Here is my problem, 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. Sometimes animations will still be going like everyone is running in place, sometimes the sound of battle will continue, etc its all very random.
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.
