    Game freezes before a match start in patch 1.03

    Hi,
    I've been experiencing strange issue in which my entire PC freezes for some time just before starting a match.
    Here are the repro steps:
    1. Launching the game via Uplay
    2. Going to multiplayer or a custom game
    3. Starting a match
    4. Selecting a character
    5. Waiting for the face-off animation (game loading)
    6. PC freezes

    I've tried this 5 times and got the same result.
    It's not just the game that freezes, my entire PC stops working. I've tried running MSI Afterburner on the second monitor and when the game freezes - it freezes as well.
    After about 5 minutes I got the main menu sound back, the screen goes black with only a cursor (in-game cursor) visible. Then, after about 2 minutes I regain control of a mouse and after another 3 minutes return to the main menu.

    Nothing like that ever happened to me in other games. I've played For Honor since closed Alpha and only after the patch I started getting this issue.
    Verifying files didn't help.
    I run everything on low settings and here are my specs:

    Intel Core i7-3770 3.4GHz
    8 GB RAM
    AMD Radeon 7870 2GB

    Thanks

    Exact same thing here.

    Exact same thing happens to me aswell. Since patch 1.03 I have the ability to get past the battle animation however mid combat my game will freeze my entire PC and won't work whatsoever that forces me to hard restart my computer completely.
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
    RAM: 16.0 GB
    OS: Windows 10 64-bit
    Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
    Pretty much I go to play and after about 30 minutes to an hour(usually around the 30 minute mark, 1 hour if i'm very lucky) it will happen. I love this game but the inability to play it due to my computer is really crushing me.

    I've tried updating all my drivers to max and changing all the graphics settings to low and turning everything off that can be turned off in the settings on For Honor but this issue still occurs.
