No Game ID -- attached a video demonstrating the issue in solitaire mode. Also attached a DxDiag report that contains some Windows Error Reports related to MTGO.exe at the bottom of the report. I am unsure of what the extra parameters in the error reports mean.

Freeze occurs at 1:37

I'll start a match, get a few turns in, and the client will completely freeze and crash -- but I can still hear some sounds. None of the UI elements can be interacted with and I have to force the application closed through the task manager.

The only time I can get the application to run as intended is if the primary window is displaying on my primary monitor @1080p and the game window is displaying on my secondary monitor @1080p. Any other configuration causes the game to lock up visually and eventually crash.

This may be due to high resolution you are playing at. Have you tried this in smaller windows and is it only when you full screen it? I have had similar issues with my large monitor and higher resolutions

I think it might be tied to monitor refresh rates.

I currently have a workaround by displaying the match window on a 1080p monitor that runs only at a 60hz refresh rate, and displaying the primary UI in windowed mode on my primary monitor. My primary monitor is where I captured the issue occurring and it normally runs at a 170hz refresh rate (it also crashes at 1080p @ 170hz). I'll test some more with lower refresh rates.
