Hello,
This bug, if it is a bug, is weird. I can play atlas without any issue but at random (it could be as soon as I launch the game or even after hours of playing) my screen freezes while I can still hear sounds. And when I say screen I mean windows freezes, I can't do anything, just hear sounds. After a while even sounds mute and there is no way out of it but a hard reset. And to be honest is something I hate doing. I don't know if it is related but on the windows event log, under system I get an error with an event ID 10016. I could give more details about it if you think it is related.
Also my specs are:
Windows 10
Processor: i7 -8700 3.20GHz
RAM: 16GB
Graphic Card: GTX 1080
