Game freezes after new mid-season update (Lobby)

@Cheaters_Suck since it started because of the new update I think its a game bug not a pc problem

Same issue here, crash in lobby after 30-60 seconds, try everything nothing works, cpu udage higher since the patch release FIX THE GAME PLEASE

They broke something.

Before, every time I updated or reinstalled the Nvidia driver, I had to wait a moment before being able to play while the map cache was processed.

Now I can immediately jump into the game, but the maps are processed while I play, my old cpu is at 100% while I play.

i just enabled volumetric lighting and restart the game (crashed starting a match -_-) and it works

Got the same issue since yesterday, game works fine, i can stay in alt tab as long as i want in game. but whenever i alt-tab in lobby more then 5 seconds, everything freezes. hope they'll fix it soon

Do you get an error (the game is not responding. press retry to wait or cancel to quit the game)

i have tried this and it worked for me
it resets all the control settings that you would set but i mean it helps with the game right 
i havent ran into any problems since

*Possible Fix***

As soon as you enter the game go into your video settings and use these options.

Sun Shadow Detail - > High
Sun Shadow Coverage - > High
Spot Shadow Detail - > High
Dynamic Spot Shadows - > Enabled.

Dynamic spot shadows being enabled seems to be the most important one*, change that first and see if the issues resolves.*

@xxCROCOP88xxThis worked for me, but I had to do all of them, not just the last one, and I had to restart once.

Before my shader recompile only went back to about 5.5k, but after this setting change it went back a little further, like 5.2k. I wonder if this forces a recompile over a now-incompatible shader?

edit: no I think its not a recompile thing, switching the settings back returns the freezing behavior
