VIDEO OF BUG: https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/haze-ult-drops-to-1-fps.37275/post-68538

This started being reported after the 9/26 patch. Game either freezes or drops to like 1 frame every few seconds. It seems to be maybe a 10% chance of happening.

The only pattern I've noticed is it may be more common on AMD processors, most people are posting AMD CPU, I've only seen one intel

Total mentions of CPU usage:
6 - 7800x3d
1 - 5600x
1 - 5600
1 - 5800x3D
1 - 7800 XT

1 - i7-10700

GPU's seem to be both AMD and Nvidia.

Thread 'Haze Ult Game Freeze'

Im using 4090 and this isnt a frame rate issue, it seems when there is a lot of utility going on at once, especially mid to late game during team fights, when I pop haze ult, the screen freezes immediately and audio glitches, the game is not unfrozen until I am dead, and there is nothing I can do about it.

Thread 'Haze ult drops to 1 FPS'

This doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally when you ult with Haze the instant you hit the ult key it drops to one FPS and you have no idea what is happening until the ult ends.

I've had friends get the same bug.

I've don't have a recording of it right now but next time it happens I will try and clip it.

If when playing haze you ult right after Bebop hook or Lash Ult the game goes into a stuttering madness and takes a while to come back, giving players that play Haze a major disadvantage. Please fix this.

Thread 'Haze ult extreme fps drop'

It has happened to me multiple times now that when I use ult as Haze, the game basically freezes. Once it even completely crashed my game and Steam. I saw some threads about this happening with some Lash and Bebop interactions, but for me this is just when I press ult. This doesn't happen all the time, and I haven't been able to spot any consistent factors. Sometimes it freezes my game, sometimes it doesn't.

This is extremely frustrating, as it can lose you the game.

Last game this happened to me was 22929875 at 12:45.

My PC is definitely powerful enough to handle a game like this, CPU...

Thread 'Game Freezes When Using Ultimate as Haze Hero in Public Matches'

When playing Deadlock and selecting the hero Haze, using their ultimate ability in public matches (whether in team fights or 1v1) causes the game to freeze for up to 10 seconds. During this freeze, the player is left vulnerable to attacks and can be easily killed while standing in place. Once the freeze ends (after 5-10 seconds), the game continues without any further issues.
Notably, this bug does not occur in lobby/sandbox modes and cannot be reproduced outside of public matches.
Issue is appeared in the latest patch.

Steps to Reproduce:...

Thread 'Haze ult game freeze/crash'

Anytime I'm stunned, by any hero ability not just their ult (i.e. Abrams Shoulder Charge), and then use Haze ult the game either freezes and gets better slowly after death or freezes, drops to 50 FPS, doesn't improve after death and game either crashes or I have to fully exit the game and restart in order for it to get better.

Some people also experiencing the freeze with knife, though I haven't seen that: https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/haze-knife-bug.40321/

Potentially related: https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/haze-memory-leak.34877/


Potential repro scenarios:
- "Haze Ult seems to cause Freeze when performed close to certain Heroes"
- "I get Ricochet and I ult, it freezes just about every time"
- "ult right after Bebop hook or Lash Ult the game goes into a stuttering madness"
- "ran into this when ulting on top of weakened patron and in the hallway that goes up like a staircase from secret shop area"
- ult after:
1. Seven stun
2. Infernus ult
3. Wraith ult
4. Mo & Krill ult

Potential workaround (works for some but others still have it persist):
1. Reload ur PC
2. If nVidia go to C:\Users\UR_USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache
If AMD go to C:\Users\UR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\AMD\DxCache
3. Delete all files in folder
4. Go to Sandbox and activate Haze ult to cash the effect
5. No FPS drop more

Bumping the thread, still an issue. Very much ult related as mentioned in the thread. When alt tabbing during the freeze and killing the game, came back with sound bug (no sound) and no ammo counter. Only fix was to actually wait out the next freeze (during which I obviously died.
 
Yep this is happening to me sometimes.

Haze ult -> game crashes.
After restarting the game, half of my UI does not work (skills are greyed out, and no cooldown numbers, no ammo counts), some sounds are missing (shot sound, hit sound, some steps), and when I attack an enemy its model starts shaking rapidly. Restarting and/or reconnecting does not help, but it does solve itself after like 10 minutes of game being practically unplayable.
