CPU + GPU overheated on start pause screen
Nvidia gpu, intel cpu, W11, all drivers updated and game patched and validated, computer is more than enough to handle this game. Open Speedfan and see my computer jumping to overheating temps when I pause the game with start (translucent options pause menu), crashes within a minute of being paused on that screen unless it's a cutscene for whatever reason. Other menus don't do this. When I say overheating I mean I'll be at 60C GPU then if I pause for more than 10 seconds GPU starts closing in on 82C and then crashes. I have also futzed with every graphics option available with no success. Not super gamebreaking but pretty annoying when I want to take a break, was wondering if anyone has this problem.

I don't have much to contribute other than I've experienced several crashes while paused (see the big thread about crashing after 1-2 hours) and I attributed it to that same issue. However, maybe there is something different when pausing.

I'll see if I can replicate this to provide more information!

I've been able to reproduce this on a whole second brand new PC. Pausing for even a minute or two causes the same full screen lock up as I mentioned in the other thread.

So I just upgraded my graphics card from a 1080TI to a 4070 Super and the issue has since gone away. Maybe it's that older graphics cards just don't play friendly with the game? The card ran the game fine other than that issue.
