Consistent game freeze when placing a tower and instruction voice over starts to play.

from Stardock.net Forums

Consistent freeze during game play when placing a tower and instruction voice over starts to play.  100% repeatable - 5 out of 5 attempts.  The only way to exit the game at that point was by using the Task Manager to force quit the program. 

I was able to complete the 1st mission but I had to make sure I was never placing a tower when the voice over instructions was going to play.  During the 2nd mission as I was placing a tower and the voice over started to play, the game froze.

Thank you for this. We're working hard on tracking down all cases of freezing. Identifying what reproduces the bug is a huge help.

What sound card are you using? Onboard audio? If so, can you post the date of the driver from the dxdiag? Thanks!

Hello Jacana_Lahx,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

Consistent freeze during game play when placing a tower and instruction voice over starts to play. 

I was able to complete the 1st mission but I had to make sure I was never placing a tower when the voice over instructions was going to play. 

This is a long shot, but if you mute the game, in the game settings, do you still see it?

 

If that fails, if you run the game in 'Min Spec Mode', do you still see the issue?

If nothing helps, please see this thread:

And post the requested files so we can look into it further.

Thanks for your help, and patience, resolving this, Jacana_Lahx.
