[ANSWERED] Game randomly freezes when fast travelling to festival [VIDEO] [PC] [REPRODUCIBLE]

I could run the game with no other problems in the last ~12 hours, except the “crashes” I randomly had when fast travelling to the festival (when I was far from it).
Well, no necessarily crashes, but freezes.

I could reproduce it 6 times already.

Video: (jump to 6:40 if you don’t want to see from the start)

It’s very simple:

-Go somewhere far from the festival;
-Press ESC to pause the game;
-Go to CARS tab, and select GO TO FESTIVAL;

Somewhere between the click and the arrival at the festival (most commonly at the loading screen) the game might freeze.
When this happens, CPU and GPU usage descrease heavily.

Looking at the wait chain, the game is “running normally”:

The curious thing is if it freezes while radio is still playing, it continues to work, including playing new songs.

Another curious thing is when this happens, if I go to “Speakers Properties” and try to activate the equalizer enhancement, it doesn’t work (maybe the freezing could be related to audio).

Audio format here is 32 bit, 192000 HZ (Realtek controller).

I also had this sometimes.

Wonder if today’s update fixed it…

I have the same problem, no other crashes, just random freeze when traveling to festival like you have described.

After some testing, I’ve found out If MIRROR QUALITY is set to EXTREME, the freezes might occur.

I’m currently with the setting at ULTRA, and no problems at all after lots of festival travelling.

(Sorry for necropost)

Another update, still no fix and still having this issue. You’d think a game tied so closely to an operating system would run better.

I read a post that it’s related to mirror quality, is that true? Guess I’ll try it and see. Really sucks; if I want muddy mirrors I’ll play The Crew 2.

Hello there,
