Try loosening tertiary timings on the vengeance ram. XMP tends to be unstable with some of their kits on ryzen 5000.

I second this. Their ram is very finicky. I once spent months dealing with a random windows crash on one particular game (would not crash that often. Sometimes would run for a couple hours issue free.) I suspected ram pretty early on, but could never get hours and hours worth of ram stress testing to ever show an error. After also ruling out pretty much anything else under the sun I said screw it and ran the ram a bit slower and looser than spec. Issue went away.
That is a peculiar problem I have not seen or heard f before. It doesn't sound like it is completely freezing if it keeps letting you play the game. Just windows behind the game is freezing?
Do you play in fullscreen mode where it takes complete control over the graphics output of your monitor? I wonder if there is some driver bug that is not properly relinquishing control of the monitor to your OS when you minimize the game. If possible I'd try playing in either windowed fullscreen mode or just windowed mode next time as a test.
Also it is always worth updating your graphics drivers too.
I agree it’s quite perplexing.
So yes you’re correct in that I can still play the game, like 90 mins after windows seemingly crashed. Once I decide I’m not playing any longer and come to save is when I realise that the whole of windows (aside from the game) has crashed as I can’t load the task manager or even shut down and have to just power off.
So I have duel monitor setup and I play fullscreen on one of them, but that screen still shows the start start menu (taskbar) whatever it’s called.
I will try those tips you suggested, once I’m less pissed off about the whole ordeal (which I get is silly as it’s just a game, but that game offers me a release from the stress of life and so I don’t appreciate the stress it’s causing).
I’ll update once I’ve tested. Obviously on a throwaway world.
If you can't even load task manager something seriously crashed and it's odd that you're still able to play the game during that time. If you test again try hitting caps lock on your keyboard during the freeze and see if the caps lock light on your keyboard turns on.
I will try again, but I will say it’s quite difficult to want to play again knowing you might lose whatever you’re doing. So I’ve been on but kept saving every few minutes and I’m not sure if I should just do as I did and leave it until it crashes.
I’ve also been going back and forth between windows more than I would as I’m nervous about it 😞
Agreed, if the game is still playable on other machines it's a graphics problem.
In any case, it's java so the server should autosave and you can add mods for backups.
Thanks for pointing out mods for auto save backups as I’ll have a look at those.
This is not a technical support community
If you could point me to the posting rules, I would be grateful so I can better find the best community next time.
I assumed AskLemmy implied you could ask anything, evidently I am wrong but I’m happy to learn how to understand the posting rules for each community.
I cannot point you to the rules, because every lemmy client is different. But if you are on the website with a desktop browser, it's in the sidebar. I wrote a quick guide about this topic a short while ago: https://nx2.site/guide-to-the-ask-communities
Ah, so I found the rules for this sub and I don’t see one that would have prevented me from asking my question.
The rules said no support for lemmy questions, which mine wasn’t.
I guess you could argue rule 5 if you’re being pedantic, the rule about creates discussion. Which I would argue my question did.
Thanks for pointing me in the correct place.
