Crashing.

[soulknife20]

I wasn't having issues until the Phantom Liberty expansion came out. Now my game keeps crashing to black screen whenever I play for a few minutes. It didn't used to do this. Did a fresh reinstall, verified files, even messed with the graphic settings and no luck.

Game crashes after this update!

Game crashes at once loading of saved games starts. I updated the game and cant play anymore!

same for me

Submit a ticket. They have a stickied post with a link to their support page to make one. It's what I did. I can't load any saves this evening for some reason.

I was playing the dlc little bit, crashed, and now everytime i try to load game it just crashes all the time, tried to verify files etc, also the crash report file says access violation

Crashing very often

Has anyone been experiencing constant crashes and found a solution to fix it? I think it might have to do with NVIDIA experience, some other games crash from updates, but i'm not sure.

Yes, Crashed every time in start location of new DLC. Where was no problems for me with patch 2.0 (played some hours), but i cant play in DLC due to crashes!
BTW 12900K + 4090 RTX + WIn 11 + SSD

UPD: probably fixed by turn-off MSI Afterburner & Riva Tuner Statistics server.

If you crash often, I suggest getting insurance while you can

Also having the same issue, running a 13900KF with a 3090. Problems didn't happen before 2.0 and all of a sudden now if I run bench marks or even try and load the map as a whole I crash at the loading screen.

can you guys check the crash log? you will find it at %localappdata%\REDEngine\ReportQueue\ in the stacktrace.txt do you get an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005)
Message: The thread attempted to read inaccessible data at 0x1E9478F0000. error?

If you're crashing, the first thing you should do is remove all your CPU, GPU and Memory OVERCLOCKS. Go back to default settings, and see if you still crash. 99% of the time its unstable overclocks that don't show up in other games, but get pushed harder in this game, thus you crash.

If you remove all overclocks, and you don't crash, then start turning the overclocks back on 1 at a time and play for a couple hours, if no crash keep going till you crash again. Then you'll find your culprit and can address it.

I had what I thought was a rock solid and stable overclock on my rig up until Starfield came out. I was not having any issues, or crashes for over a year. Then I was getting application hangs in Starfield. I removed all the OC and the game was flawless stable and no crashing.

Turns out my CPU OC was too aggressive, too much speed and too much voltage. I had to readjust everything with that OC, but now I have it running better, more efficient and stable. Sometimes an unstable OC will not show itself for months or years, but if you're crashing steadily, then its likely instability.

I started a fresh save file, from the beginning, with Phantom Liberty included though. Crashed twice before making it to V's appartment. I still haven't gotten there, keep crashing in the car sequence where Jackie is driving.

Error messages are all over the place. It's like I get a new one every time. Could be a problem on my end, the ol' PC has a lot of dust in places where it shouldn't. Even so, I am certain it's not JUST my PC, so I'm hoping to see a solution/ fix for the crashing soon!

yeah same as me, but i only get this error when i loot items / save game. In 2.0 was working fine now i keep getting CTD. If i load a older save file works but aftar looting a certain amount of items it starts to CTD. I reported this to CDPR.

Could easily be overheating. Take off the cover, take it outside tomorrow and use a leaf blower on the PC internals from about 10 feet away. Don't want to blow the ♥♥♥♥ out of it, just the dust. If you don't have a leaf blower, then use a vacuum to clean up the heatsinks and fans. https://youtube.com/shorts/AG3NkuFyVmo?si=MaSaOXg3esRFoSrE
