[FIX] Crash after character creation

[FOX ϟ 🦊]

You must do a file verification if you getting this error/crash. For some reason, if you closed, stoped or interrupted the decompression of preload files, you will miss around 5~7gb download. You must trigger this download through file verification, give it a try!

Right click on CP2077 > Properties > Local Files and then hit verification!

Try disabling ray tracing if you have it enabled. It crashed for me after character creation. Edited the configuration file: C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077\UserSettings.json and disabled option with "name" = "RayTracing" (using "value": false). After saving the file and hitting play again, it works like a charm.

How do you even open a .json???

Notepad should work, or a source code editor program which is more designed to handle files like this (I used Notepad++)

Changing "RayTracing" to false fixed the crashing for me.

I FIXED IT!

Disable Read only on this folder and give acces perms to all users.

I keep crashing after character creation im able to get past the start of the game and make my character and than have a conversation with someone. in every path too.Corpo ends by crashing when i sit in a chair needed to progress the game. Nomad crashes after the cutscene leading into Night City. Streetkid start crashes out when i go to leave the bar

i looked online it said to disable gog overlay so i downloaded gog and did that. i even did that for steam. i ended all non essential programs on my pc and tried running it. ive done everything i can think of. ive updated all my drivers and my windows version.

After finishing the initial conversation, walking around in the bar, and re-enabling ray tracing, the game crashes right when I approach the bar keeper again (looking at his shiny reflecting hand, I believe).

FIXED: Seems my GPU overclock was unstable. I ran the +145 MHz for a year straight. Now enter Cyberpunk... xD

I have this game problem with the game crashing right after character creation. I've tried verifying the files, I've tried updating the driver and I've looked for this file but can't find it on my system, which is Windows 10. Though I don't have Ray Tracing on in my game settings, so I don't think that's it. What else could it be?

If anyone found a fix for this please share.

If you want to brute force it, I was able to get it running again by just outright deleting the user settings under C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077\UserSettings.json

Game crashed at character creation after upgrading to rx7800xt...
This worked for me, thanks!
Could be something to do with previous GPU settings who knows?
