.... idk if im missing anything here
Maybe re-installing the OS? :D
That always works for me when the OS has serious problems and there are no other options left...

Maybe a registry cleaning?

Don't you use at least two partitions, one for the OS and another one for your personal data? That way, you'll never risk anything when re-installing the OS (at least if you don't touch the secondary/data partition).

I have too hundreds of Gigabytes of important data/projects/work accumulated from many years. Fortunately I've never lost anything, and I use to re-install the OS once a two or three months, depending on how many software is being installed and uninstalled.

Also, I always backup the most important data on hard drives that I don't use, just in case the main HDD fails.

I use CCleaner daily, and even cleaning the registry, sometimes Windows become very unstable after a long time of use. Of course that depends on how you use it too.

No i dont. and Personally i don't think it will Help either. Outerra isnt worth Losing All my Settings and Installations.. i will wait For a New Update for Outerra and Hope that this all Changes for the better :/

make a clean install, delete all records, check it in run: initiation/execute/regedit/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE ... (delete folders, etc ..[makes copies of the folders you are interested in user / outerra]) and seeing the settings of your pc, outerra off .. as does rocket.

Me as well. Cleaners have been very useful to me for getting rid of leftover garbage after an uninstalled program has left a mess.

In case you have an AMD grx card, did you try the latest beta driver? I had stability problems with the latest official driver 14.4. 14.7 RC3 (beta) worked fine though.

Still no change with the latest versions? Btw when reinstalling OT, move the existing data dir away or install to a new data dir, to ensure there are no corrupted data files.

Freezing that way must be a driver/OS thing, it's not really possible for an application to freeze the OS completely in user mode. Since you did all the cleaning with the graphics drivers, and presumably this is not a hardware issue ... the only other drivers used by Outerra are network and sound. But that would be quite unlikely and rare (though, your freezing in OT is indeed rare).
