0.4.0 "Deadlock Detected"

Quite sure it has to do with party play. Played hundred hours with no problems. Started playing with a mate, deadlock error for the first time now nothing works anymore...
Got this deadlock issue upon login, I'm pretty sure its not my CPU/system which is at issue like some moron suggested.

every few loading screens will crush with "deadlock detected", it keeps happing every day from day1 of the new league, every 2 or 3 maps i get deadlock detected, never had this on other leagues 1900hours played, 0.4 is the deadlock detected pop up chuch league, deadlock detected
For myself, this happens in multiplayer or solo, mapping, campaign, etc. Every 10-20 mins or so. This has never happened pre 0.4, and only recently with a 0.4 patch as of about a week or so ago.

Switching from Vulkan to DX12 does not cause a crash with Deadlock, but causes the game to freeze for about 5-10 seconds, then continue as normal. This is pretty much unplayable.

Please fix immediately.

Since a few weeks before Patch .4.0 I can no longer use Vulkan....
It says Drive activity is 0 or 1 and game never loads under game Metrics ( F1 on PC)
I was under the impression Windows 25H2 had something to do with it because of the Rendering updates in Windows 25H2.
beta key plz
No rant, but GGG seems to have a continuing issue with rendering using nVidia 5XXX cards. Maybe other cards, not sure.

I have had the occasional deadlock error this season only, restarted the game, gone every time, sometimes after 2 x restart of game.

This morning, can't get into the game at all.

EDIT - TRDL: there was an update pushed out this morning to my game. It reset some of my in-game settings, including hyperthreading / multithreading. In the Options>Graphics tab, ensure that "Engine Multithreading" is disabled. Works fine in DX12 without any further issues.

This is a Ryzen 9850X3D running on an MSI Carbon X870E mobo, 64Gb (32Gb x 2) of T-create 6000MHz RAM, PNY RTX5080 graphics card, game runs from it's own 4Tb M.2 drive on the motherboard. Not a hardware issue.

Was running DX12, changed to Vulkan, no joy.
Changed to DX11, no joy.
In CPU settings, changed my CPU core affinity to not use core 0 and 1, no joy.

This is new, today, this morning.

Kudos to GGG for fixing the dreaded nVidia crash and hack to save the gamestate from last season... now, please fix this.

Observation indicates that this seems to be mostly users of an AMD CPU/chipset and nVidia GPU.

This is more than likely two pieces of software addressing the same memory address simultaneously IMEO.
