Game crash/pc Shut down and reboot

[Tullunko]

after 6h gameplay, i was wondering why some ppl have so much negative attitude against this game. Yeah, there are some glitches of NPC's etc and the controlling of some vehicles are horrible... BUT then it startet... Crash marathon. if i get lucky i can play 10 min straight!

These are not normal *oops game crashed, lets restart the game*. its *pc shuts down and rebooting* crashes... this is not even slightly acceptable.

things i tried to solve this problem:
-updating/ downgrading graphics drivers
-BIOS up/downgrading (yeah i know...)
-graphic settings set to minesweeper

specs:
- i7 12700K
- 2080 TI
- ROD STRIX z690-A
- 32 GB DDR4
- 750W supply
(in the first 6h i played the game flawless on 240Hz with ~ 120+ fps with everything on ultra, no problemo...)

DDU the gpu drivers incase of left over files causing corruption and install either the OEM or latest drivers again.

Check event viewer in warning and critical errors, and post the result/ error id.

Lately how old is the psu?

[Tullunko]

i tried the lates 3 Versions of the GPU driver.
event viewer is clear of any wanrnings/ critical errors
psu is 4years old

I would check with a different psu just to make sure, it is either that or temps reaching critical values for thr pc to shutdown

That was my first guess aswell. but max temp was at the cpu ~54° C and GPU 65° C.

The Max Watt wich was drained was at ~ 450. I read several threads where ppl like me have the same issue scince 1.6.

additionally: why would only cause this game this problem? thats some thing i could aswell cant get my mind around.

if it shows that u are getting 240+ fps on ultra settings no wonder it crashes because you are most definitely not getting 240+ fps on ultra.

Ty for ur comment. i completly f*ed up the last part. i corrected it. ty!
i meant to say that i play with 240 Hz @ 100+ fps on Ultra with no problem.

This is crashing for me to a lot. I just got a new pc, i9, 3090ti, and 64 gigs of ram. Ive crashed 4 times in 3 hours. My pc is not turning off but it just crashes to desktop and lets me send an error report.

did that. after 20 min-> crash...
i tried some weird stuff like turning down the Hz of the monitor (i pick every straw left, even the weird ones), strangely i could play 4h straight... but than-> crash.

Strangely, the crashes mostly accure, if i open the map and scroll out or move the map... coincidence i guess...

Ty ! but sadly, after i started the game, opened the map, scrolled out (thats the way it mostly /almost every time occures) it instant crashed :/

1.6 crippled performance for everyone. 10%-20% performance loss, and there's YT videos comparing 1.6 vs 1.5 performance. 1.5 had A LOT better performance,no frame drops, no stuttering, and no crashes. I'm with 11900k/2080ti/64Gb 3600, and i've lost like 10-15 frames with 1.6. Even DLSS at Performance/Ultra Performance. Give it a try with a newer DLSS.dll from https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/

Game still using outdated dlss v2.3.4.0, yet newest version is 2.4.12.0.

I had similar issues. Contacted CDPR and they replied me this:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

First, please, remove the following folders in %userprofile%\AppData\Local :
- REDEngine
- CD Projekt Red

Next, launch the game and try changing the value of Cascaded Shadows Range / Resolution in Settings to Low / High, and see if it helps.

Apparently its a bug of the video settings, when you set it in mid the game doesnt recognise your GPU. I tried it and worked, now game doesn't crash. Hope it works for u.

I have a 3080 with 32 GB RAM i have a 144HZ monitor as soon as i switch on 120HZ the game runs smooth and as soon there is a lot going on like driving a car or bike trough a populated area of the city doesn't matter which area, the game crashes. Its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying i am on the newest stand with driviers and Windows update. Well i have like 350 mods but its mosly clothing and visuals no graphics mods or ray tracing mods just basic stuff. Still, the game crashed like that before even without 1 single mod. I don't get it.
