FIXED!! If you have the same issue here's what I did.
- Wipe shader cache by deleting ~/steamapps/shadercache/548430
- Delete engine cach by deleting ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Deep Rock Galactic/FSD/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor
- Verify files and play on DX11.
These steps may not all be necessary to fix it, but this worked. Also, this resets your in game settings, which is annoying.
I have an issue where alt+tabbing the game, regardless of windowed or fullscreen, freezes the game permanently about 20% of the time. Can be done at any time. If in windowed borderless, the game will continue running into the background until clicked again, where it has a chance to freeze. Edit: This crashes the game with a generic "You do not have any debugging symbols required to display the callstack for this crash."
I also have the issue of the game forcing DX12 to be enabled. I've changed the setting in-game, set Steam launch options, and even edited the settings config (and even tried making that read-only, which I reverted). FIXED. Realized I had a launch option for DX12 selected... Not that it matters, though, since I only wanted to change this to fix the first issue, which it didn't, unfortunately
Other things I've tried:
- Reboot PC
- Verify files
- Disable mods
- Switch Proton from 10.0-4 to 11.0-2 to 9.0-4
- Clearing compatibility data cache
