Game freeze

I loaded the save and it appears to be fine. It's possible that today's update fixed whatever was causing it. Please let us know if it still happens on your computer.

@EricKlei it happened again on a different save while loading the save from "last save file" button. Save file loaded normally the second time but game never crashed, there was sounds/music playing but the screen was frozen to the loading pic below. Is it possible to be my graphic card/monitor's fault..? (my pc is a little old.. but I didn't have this problem with the game until recently)

 

*While in this screen, moving the mouse produced sounds like in a paused game scrolling over tiles (like the game loaded but the visual didn't)

I didn't hit -X- very quickly so the player log got a teeny tiny bit bigger  (2.5Mb). Should I uploaded it here as a file?

Edit: Player log repeated text:

It's possibly hardware related, could you post your DXDiag? If you haven't already make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.

You could also try switching to OpenGL by adding -force-glcore to your Oxygen Not Included launch options in Steam. (Right click Oxygen Not Included > Properties > General tab > Launch Options)

I don't think anything is up to date. My laptop is a teeny tiny bit old...(I don't know if updating would fix or break it at this point). If it's a hardware related problem my solution would be.. to buy a desktop  

But here is the DxDiag to take a look. DxDiag.txt

By the way, the game run just fine the next 270 cycles ( I have no idea in what conditions the freeze happens  )

It looks like integrated graphics driver version is from November 2013 and the most current driver was released in February this year. Of course it's up to you if you would like to try updating, especially since as you say it's running fine.

It might be specific to your hardware but please let us know if you notice a pattern of freezing. 

I confirmed updating is not an option. 

I tried updating Intel graphics and they said "nope!"

I also updated the AMD card that was having problems with another game and was continuously shutting down. It turns out that the updated version doesn't want to wake up after the computer is put to sleep...

Conclusion: I'm stuck with the old versions until new pc is possible and hope it doesn't happen too often the game freeze for ONI (there wasn't any more freeze-screen so far, it still plays just fine)

Sorry for my old PC...
