Constant Crashing. 11 during a single match.

[JonSpider]

Been having crashing issues since I think the last Thursday patch (10/3/2024). On average during a match I'd crash 1~2 times. It has gotten more aggressive with this Thursday's patch though, going up to 2~5. This morning's session had an unexpected 12 crashes in it. 1 before playing proper as I was constructing my build in the sandbox. The actual match, I think I played at around 11AM~12PM PST.

Match ID: 22117128

My graphical settings are on the default. The notch before "Best Looking".

My System Information:
OS: Windows 11
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900KF, 3200 Mhz, 24 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s)
Installed RAM is 32 GB
VRAM is 32 GB.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080
NVMe PC801 NVMe SK hynix 1TB (Game was installed on the SSD)

I should preface that with every crash on Deadlock, Steam also shut down. I'd have to wait for Steam to boot up before I can start Deadlock again. One of my teammates in this match also told me that I wasn't shown as disconnected, so the match was only paused maybe one time during my crashes. I have the Steam recordings if necessary. I was playing as Shiv on the Amber Hand team with my username "JonSpider" displayed. It feels like there is no real rhyme or reason for my crashes, which I will list out:

1. Scrolling upwards while editing a build in the sandbox.
2. Walking up a ramp in purple lane during laning phase. I was on the Amber Hand side.
3. Waiting to respawn.
4. Dashing against Medium Creeps near the start of Amber Hand Purple near base.
5. Jumping onto Zipline in Purple Lane. I had my finger on Push to Talk Key (T) when it happened.
6. Dash Jumping away from 2-Story Building near Amber Hand Green Lane (The one with the punch machines)
7. Walking up near start of purple lane after shooting small troopers.
8. Waiting to respawn.
9. Walking/Pushing up Yellow Lane
10. Walking towards Midboss from Green Lane (Passing through small camp building)
11. Slice N' Dice'ing towards Abrams in the middle of blue lane.
12. Crashed after clicking "Rejoin Match" somewhere between the 5th and 7th crashes. This is about 3 seconds after the game boots up.

Looked at other crash reports and they'd include MDMP files. Decided to add the ones from this morning.

this has been happening to my friend with a similar cpu, what he did was throttle the cpu to under 5ghz and the game hasn't crashed in a couple days. it seems to be something with source 2, if you can run cs2 and cant run deadlock then this isnt a fix, but if cs2 crashes as well it will be a source 2 issue. if you try and put low power mode on through power management settings and the game opens and wont crash then your cpu being over 5.0 ghz causes a "accessviolation" crash dump.

this has been known to happen with 40 series gpus

One of these two things worked for me:
1. Use -dx11 in game launch options
2. Update your BIOS

I did both of these and my game isn't crashing anymore. I swear I was crashing 12-15 times per game on Friday.

I really hope this helps you too! I also have an i9 and RTX GPU, this seems to be a common issue for that combination.
