1.1.9.8: Game freezes intermittently after upgrading to 1.1.9.8

After upgrading to 1.1.9.8, game would freeze intermittently in campaign mode, worst case would be freezing for 1 ~ 3 seconds. I didn’t try crucible or SR in 1.1.9.8. Happens most in fort ikon dungeon when I try to farm Anastasia for outcast secret helmet in ultimate.

Special note is that I play in steam big picture overlay with xbox elite controller.

I checked cpu & gpu metrics during play sessions, both are running fine, not throttling.

Gpu usage was very low (around or below 20%), cpu was also not high, temp was around 70c.

In 1.1.9.7, game is perfectly fine in campaign overworld, SR 75+ and continuous crucible run 150 ~ 170.

OS: Windows 10
GPU: 3090
CPU: I5 4690k (it is old, but before 1.1.9.8 it is perfectly fine).
Memory: 16gb.
Storage: SSD
Resolution: 4k (native & in game resolution)

Mods: No

Did you verify game files?

Over the weekend, have tried verifying the files on steam (567 files verified), uninstalling and installing again, updating graphic drivers.

Unfortunately it still happens frequently.

But good thing is I got the outcast secret’s helmet with 7 percent reduced cool down roll, at least some comforting there, haha.

Also not too sure if below info might be helpful for tracing or not.

Other aspects of the game seems also got less responsive compared to before.

For example, when I open a character’s devotion, and then close the devotion, before it instantly closes, now it always take one second to close, like it is trying to saving or reloading something, and it happens everytime when I do this.

I think I found the issue.

It is not related to the update, but I enabled one drive to sync my documents folder which seems is causing this issue plus some other things as Grim Dawn’s save files plus maybe other things (I could only guess seed files) is also in the documents folder. So OneDrive might be blocking access when it tries to sync files.

After disable syncing of that so seems things recovered.

Sorry for the trouble.

I’m having the exact same issues cept I’m on a steam deck. I have a post in here as well but I’m surprised that the same thing happened on windows as well as Linux.
