Cyberpunk 2077 keeps crashing

[Neokashe]

So I'm trying to play cyberpunk 2077 and the game constantly keeps crashing. This never happened on my old computer but with my new computer that has a 4080 card it seems to crash either at the startup or just shortly after I try to play a game. I have the most updated graphics drivers, I do not use mods and I made everything use the lowest graphics settings to ensure I wasn't maxing out my powerful graphics card. Please help.

Help with Frequent crashes?

I hadn't played for a while, and when I came back suddenly the game is a lot more unstable.
I can reliably crash the game by going into fast-travel station and backing out. Background noise stays, but screen is locked.

I tried updating nvidia drivers, reinstalling the game, rebooting, etc...

It seems to happen *slightly* less on "low" graphics, but it still happens after a very short while.

It used to run so well before, but now it is unplayable :-(

Try a _clean_ install of your GPU drivers using DDU or NVCleanstall (recommended). Just updating drivers will often not do a complete job of deleting old files.

How long was it since you played last?

i used to have mods before i uninstalled cyberpunk 2077, when i installed, the mod section came along and was causing crashes until i manually removed it away, if u used to use mods before, remove manually the mod section in game files and see if it helps :D

does it crashes when you start the game on the gog?

No mods at all. Fresh install.

I’ll try that.

It had been several months at least, maybe more.

There was a major upgrade in June, and it might be conflicting with the remnants of the mods you removed. Mods have a way of secreting files in unexpected places. and aren't easy to clear out completely.

let us know if the driver reinstall helps.

Game keeps crashing

So, I have a gaming computer built around a 4090 ... and it keeps crashing, no matter the graphic settings.
Any idea why?

Like what?

[IndigoFighter]

Something like this should be the minimum of information to give and in addition which in-game settings.

My Rig (as an example)

- MB : MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk
- CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8x ; @4500 MHz
- RAM : 64 GB DDR5-RAM, Dual Channel (2x 32 GB) @4800 MHz)
- GPU : MSI nVidia RTX 4080 GAMING TRIO, 16GB GDDR6X

- System : Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit 22H2

- Storage :
- 1000 GB M.2 PCIe4 SSD (Read/Write max.7300 MB/s|6000 MB/s) (System only)
- 2000 GB M.2 PCIe4 SSD (Read/Write max.7300 MB/s|7000 MB/s) (Games only)
- 8000 GB SATA HDD (Backups; other Files)

- Cooling : MSI MAG CoreLiquid 240R Watercooling
- Case : MSI Gungnir 110R
- PSU : 850 Watt ASUS ROG Strix 850G

And : Overclocking ? Mods installed ? All drivers up-2-date ? ect.

In my case :
Nothing overclocked. No Mods (ready for 2.0 + PL). All In-Game-Settings maxed. DLSS set to Quality; no dynamic Resolution; RT + Pathtracing on; V-Sync on. Resolution set to 1920px1080p

Not a single word about when the game is crashing, what actually happens, what do you see exactly, nor any word about mods or overclocking or drivers...

You basically expect us to guess what your problem might be without giving us any kind of info to help you.
