Game freezes after colonizing Verdure
Submitted
After finishing the contract that enables the colonization of Verdure, the game freezes. I tried it in different ways - doing it as last contract, or leaving some contacts unfinished before.
Once I claim the contract, a video plays and 1 or 2 seconds after finishing the video, the game freezes. It happens regardless of skipping the video or not.
I have the same bug
I've been trying stuff with the debugger, and I realized that when I unlock the Kemik sector (less than one minute after), the grame freezes. That's what makes it crash.
I am playing with geforcenow, and tried two different PCs with same result.

A also have freezes. During tutorial on the planet it worked, however after i left the planet my game started freezing each 5-10 min, shows Game not responding error, and unfreezes after 2 minutes.
I tried changing graphic settings from high to low. I have 32gb ram and Nvidia RTX 4070 with 100FPS+ in game.

Follow-up with log analysis (2.4.0.95, logs attached)
The freezes are .NET stop-the-world GC pauses lasting seconds to minutes. I measured them from the game's STATISTICS rows: wall-clock time minus simulation time matches the GCStalls column every time.
Session | GCs | GC total pause | Real freezes
10-10 (before issue) | 25 | 34 s | 0.02-0.08 s
10-11 (5 h) | 52 | 1660 s | 60-109 s, repeatedly
10-12 (81 min) | 34 | 952 s | ~19 freezes, up to 170 s
10-13 (10 min) | 18 | 113 s | 2-12 s
- GC frequency is normal (9 gen2 in both the good and the bad session). The pause length is what grew, about 1000x.
- CPU is low (11-20%) during freezes. The runtime seems to be waiting, not working.
- It is not RAM. 60-109 s freezes kept happening with 25-41 GB of commit free. The 170 s freeze happened with 39 GB free.
- Minimum graphics (200 FPS) and shutting down other apps don't help.
- Autosave "Capturing Session State" sometimes takes 17-51 s instead of 0.03 s.
Watchdog bug: "freeze lasted X s" always equals the dump write time + 1 s. The watchdog only notices a freeze after it ends, so it logged 7 of ~19 freezes. Each 14 MB dump takes 2-29 s to write while the game is suspended, which makes the freeze longer.
PC: i9-14900K, 32 GB RAM, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, Windows 11. I can record an ETW trace during a freeze if that helps.
