This the StarCon bug with NVIDIA GPUs, theres a log thread on it. Basically you can look in the error log to confirm if you have the Swap Chain errors. Heres the thread and here's what the error looks like. https://forums.starcontrol.com/491165/page/1/#replies Nitrous Error: Swap Chain Present Failure: (887a0005) The GPU device instance has been suspended.

Hey Bonkal, I also have the GTX680, and I downloaded GPU-Z 2.11.0 to check my GPU Temps. Seems unrelated in my scenario as I can freeze out at any temp range it seems. I have the freeze occurring anywhere from 50-75 degrees.. then sometimes I'm pushed into the low 80s and all is good until so I'm also doubting the finding of overheating GPU. The good news is I was contacted by Stardock support today about testing out a beta build that they hope could help with the issue.
After people getting screwed by Telltale, i assume consumers will be wary of paying for a season pass especially in the short term. I'll pick up the 6 mini expansions when they have all been released.. and hopefully by then the Stardock\Nvidia issue will be fixed as well.
Hey Frogboy, Shadows off seems to be definitely extending the timeframe. I just went through several planets and no issues so far!
Yeah it was showing signs of letting up but im back to 10s-30s before crashing when landing on planets again. Will have to shelve this until Stardock and NVIDIA work out the issue. Please also put me on the list of folks to contact when this has been addressed.
Happened to me too, there is already a thread on this here: https://forums.starcontrol.com/491228/page/1/#3727939 Basically i reloaded an earlier save and avoided him to continue.
Thanks for following this up Sean and Frog. Doing better after implementing some of the changes (and also not sure if the new opt-in patch) has anything to do with it as well. I went from 10-30s freeze and crash to desktop when landing on planets to this evening where i could get a few hours of interrupted play. Still crashed out about 6 times but this is really improved. Looking forward to the reply from NVIDIA.
Any method to get the opt-in if on GOG?
I had the same issue, running Netmon i found the .exe was making network calls for some reason. Being in China, anything is pretty slow so i tested via VPN and I load in 2s instead of previous 2 mins.
Bump, any Stardock support staff around?
I found an Error_Thread00 file and found this error non stop. Any ideas here Stardock Support? NVIDIA 680GTX fully up to date.

Yeah im on my 3rd install now on another HD. Looks like it may be refund city for me if this keeps on happening. I'm not blue screening, but rather its the video just ceases to update, i can still hear audio fine after the "freeze" but then a hard crash out to desktop as soon as i hit esc and the lander leaves the surface. Thankfully i purchased on GOG so refund is an option but hoping i dont need to go that route. Anyway I guess Theme Point Hospital it is whil
Can you link the post please Willie?
Hi Stardock Support, I am experiencing non stop freezing\crashing during most lander missions. First evening I crashed a few times, however my save if about 4 hours old and now i freeze within seconds of landing on a planet to collect minerals. Its not hard crash in that the video freezed but i'm still able to "control" things and hitting esc actually can hear the audio of the lander taking off but then it will crash to desktop immediately. Bought from GOG and have
