Game keeps crashing my pc at roughly the 20min mark

[Alastor's Alibi]

I have over 350 hours in this game and never had this problem before. I installed this game again when Witch Queen dropped but seemed like my game would crash no matter what i do at roughly the 20 min mark. Not only did the game crash, I had to restart my pc manually. I figured it might just be some bug.

Now I installed the game again and seems like it still persists? Can anyone help me with any fixes? I've tried reinstalling my gpu driver. Ive also tried reverting my overclock back to default. Nothing seems to help.

If it helps, Ive only had this issue with one other game Risk of Rain 2. I never had a problem before but after the dlc update the game kept causing BSOD

Have you run any hardware tests to check for temps? Bad memory? Dying PSU etc? First and foremost, have you updated your drivers/verified the files of the game.

what is the BSOD error code?

Nope not really. How do I do that exactly? I mean say if I run afterburner for temp checks during the crash, I cant really see the results tho cus as i said the whole pc crashes, not just the game. Maybe im missing something, help me out? :) As for bad memory or a dying PSU, im not sure how to check for those.

And I have updated my drivers yes, and ive reinstalled the game a couple of times didnt verify the integrity tho

It was for a different game. I didnt get a BSOD in Destiny 2, but I did get a BSOD everytime i tried running RoR2. Want me to test it again and note it down?

Download Furmark, it's a GPU stress test that will tell you your temps.

Oh I thought you wanted me to check the GPU temps for when the game crashed. But yes that makes more sense I'll do it thanks!

have the same problem but its not the heat

Temps seem to be okay for me.
I figured something might be wrong with my windows build so instead of reinstalling it i finally decided to upgrade to win 11 (It so bad!). My pc still crashed. Then turning the priority to high suddenly made my pc not crash. My game still crashes but hey thats a win for me. Instead now im actually getting an error code. broccoli

- try running the game in Windowed mode if you are currently running it fullscreen). if it doesn't crash, try borderless windowed. if still no crash, you can just leave it here.

if it still crashes:

- use the default profile of your GPU if you are running the OC'd profile
- Make sure Windows is completely up-to-date
- Do a clean uninstall of your GPU's driver (use DDU - Display Driver Uninstaller - to remove the existing driver. just google to download it)
- install latest driver for your GPU and test it again.

Im already using borderless windows.
But i'll test again with regular windowed mode if it works I can just use borderless gaming.

Ive already done all these things. I've also tried turning motion blur on and wind impulse on. Turned on vsync and capped the frame rate.
Other than that I've also turned off fullscreen and turned on override high dpi settings. Didnt seem to help.

I've read somewhere changing your xmp settings might help but im not gonna do that for just this one game

broccoli errors are usually related to video. might try checking the bungie forums if you haven't yet. can't imagine how RAM speed would make a difference, so sounds a bit sus on that. my RAM is running at 3600MHz from the XMP profile and its never caused an issue.

Ive had the same issue and the only thing that I was able to do, was move the install folder from 1 drive to another. I had it on my SSD, but was running out of space due to it only being a 256GB SSD and my OS is installed there, so I moved it to D: drive, then all of a sudden, I started getting the same issues as you. I had a spare 256 GB HDD from an old PC and I installed it on my pc then moved D2 to that Drive "E:" and everything works perfectly now.

Not sure WTF is going on, but if D2 crashes, this was the only fix I could work out for my issue.

Huh thanks for the tip I'll try that. Did you get the broccoli error as well?

Yes many times, I almost said screw this game. This issue had me flustered for a month and I couldnt seem to figure it out. I moved a month ago and went from a 400+ mbps to a 25-30 mpbs connection and reinstalling took 9+ hours each time. IDK why, but D2 was causing my D: drive to become inaccessible 90% of the time, which caused the lock-ups and crashing.

I used Steam Browse Local Files and moved my Game to my E: drive took less than 20 mins vs 9+ hours re-downloading every time.

I have no issues now and Im glad I took the time to figure it out.

Hope this helps you with your issue.
