THE GAME KEEPS CRASHING!

It’s literally all day trying to play this game, but there is literally a crash every 3 min... I tried everything, lowering the graphics, starting it as administrator, checking the integrity of files, Restarting the PC, but nothing. Please advise me what to do and let me know if it is just my problem, but I did not do it a while ago.
Thank you in advance.

Try deleting or renaming your 'UserSettings.json' file. It's located here: C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077. Then restart the game and let it regenerate the file.

what kinda temps you getting from cpu/gpu? Do your dust filters, if you have them, need cleaning?

Any mod? this behaviour is also caused by broken mods
If yes, be aware: Uninstall/reinstall from steam will not remove old mods. It just remove vanilla files and reinstall over the old mods. Only way is manually delete the game folder (yes manually) and then reinstall it to get a fresh uncorrupted copy

Will this make me lose saves? (I’m not very familiar with these things)

How do I know if I need to clean?

No no the game is completely defoult, I never downloaded mod, I tried to delete the folder "x64" then do the "integrity check of files" but nothing

No. The saves are stored elsewhere.

Does it crash when starting a new game?

I don't know, I started the story from scratch literally yesterday so I would say no, but I would be a little annoyed to start over again.

Were you ever able to resolve this? I am having a similar issue.

Unfortunately no, I’m waiting for updates hoping that it will resolve

I've been having the same issue, and it happens more quickly and frequently as I go farther into the game, to the point where when I've went far enough it just crashes out right on loading the savegame. My guess is that there might be memory leaks in savegames run on the current version of the game.

This hasn't been an issue for me until the current version (2.2), and I hope it can be fixed soon.

I am also getting random crashes. As per the above post, except that I haven't yet experienced a crash on loading a save game. No overclocking or mods here. Just randomly started to happen on my current play through on the latest version about 50 or so hours into the game.

It is a hard game crash, not a Windows crash. I am unable to recreate it, but it seems to happen when there are in-game triggers like phone calls and so on. I don't know.
