Video capture of the issue (EDITED - cannot post link)

So recently my friend's PC died forcing an upgrade. As a result he gifted me his old MSI 970 GTX GPU which has replaced my aging Sapphire R9 380.

I'm running the latest Nvidia drivers and not had any problems with any other games. However SS4 keeps randomly freezing. Here are the rest of my vitals:

CPU: Intel i7-950 3.06 GHz
GPU: MSI 970 GTX 4GB
RAM: 16GB DDR3
HDD: WD Black 7200 RPM

Anyone else encounter this problem? Any idea how to resolve it? Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers!

I have had crashes since launch, where the game would lose contact with any of my input while it continued to run, however, it did not respond to anything anymore. for now, this happened in DX11 only
This is still the case for me, and happens randomly.
Although it always seems to happen when running, but that could be coincidence.
However on Vulkan i had the crash with the footsteps like you had.

Thanks for the information. Good to know it's not just me.

I went back to using my R9 380 and managed to get past the level but have just upgraded my aging X58 mobo with a X5675 processor so decided to try the 970 GTX one more time. It doesn't seem to be crashing in the Rome levels under DirectX 12.

Maybe it was the settings, maybe it was the level or maybe I just wasn't lucky but it seems to be working OK now. Uninstalling the AMD drivers might have helped - wouldn't expect it to cause a conflict with the NVIDIA drivers but you never know.

When I last played (couple months ago), the only fully stable API was still Direct 11. Both 12 and Vulkan had numerous issues. They are doing what they can to get the other 2 fixed, but until then, use 11.

There have been a couple patches since then, but no idea if they managed to fix them.
