I've been playing BG3 for the last couple months, got over 100 hours and had no issues, but the last 2/3 days (since the hotfix #30 realistically) whenever I try to play the game it completely freezes, sometimes unfreezing and letting me carry on until it happens again but most of the time it completely freezes my PC where I can't force close from Steam, CTRL + ALT + DEL or anything. I have to force turn off my PC directly and reboot entirely.

I'm not playing with any mods and I've tested other games (Elden Ring, Horizon, Monster Hunter, Destiny 2) and these all run with no issues so I'm not sure what's causing it. I've tried both launchers (primarily I've been using DirectX 11), re-varifying game files, rolling back drivers, lowering graphics settings, and turning off my DPI scaling as per the troubleshooting but no success. The only other thing I can consider is uninstalling the game and re-installing but I don't see how this would help. As I've been having to turn off my PC completely the game itself hasn't 'crashed' so there are no crash reports, but it is still unplayable and causes the whole PC to freeze.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It started yesterday for me. I made it to Moonrise towers without any problems over the past weeks. A few days ago, there was an update in Steam. Now, the game freezes and crashes after a short while. Both during cutscenes as during free roaming. It's no longer playable; What exactly was that update ? Can it be rolled back ?

Edit : I just received another approx. 215 KB update, but no change alas. Also, after crash I ger the crash report popup, but the send button remains disabled, I can only "close" it.

It has started for me just now, after the big download. I have been having ongoing problems with Opportunity Attacks since Patch 8 but the crashes only started just now.

I retried and played for an hour without crashing now. But, I do experience a never-seen-before amount of stutter and lag when moving around.
