Similar tech issues as Death Stranding?

[drexyz]

Horizon Zero Dawn uses the same engine as Death Stranding: Guerrilla's Decima engine. There are many, many technical issues happening with Death Stranding right now.

Specifically, I'm worried about the 'Access Violation' crash that is plaguing a lot of us over in the Death Stranding forums, but there are many other issues as well.

Can someone who is more technically literate than me let me know if I should be worried about this happening again with Horizon Zero Dawn? Does having the same game engine mean it will have a lot of the same bugs? Or will the optimization and other pieces built on top of the engine make a huge difference in how it will run?

Only thing I'm hoping is that HZD has a correct UW resolution unlike Death Stranding which had improper UW resolution and left slight black bars.

Death Stranding runs flawlessly for me. Quite impressive considering that on a technical level all those players structures are something that would be a glitch fest in any other game.

Don't forget that certain windows 10 version has some problems, so it might affect the game as well.

Nearly 70 hours into Death Stranding and zero crashes. It runs flawlessly on max settings. If Horizon runs just as well, I will be very happy.

Have you uninstalled 3rd party apps? like EVGA precision? Only did a search and only found some older threads about it. I'm sure you've already tried this. In VR, i get the 108 error but not everybody, even though we all technically have the same setup. If it was me I would try the game straight after a windows installation before any updates. Sometimes updates mess things (2004 update anybody?). Could try rolling back gfx drivers to older ones too.

78 Hours with Death Stranding, finished the main story and a good amount of side content. Not a single issue with crashes/performance/ANYTHING in that time.

Did 100% Death Stranding within 118 hours so here's some input from me.

First you need to know that Death Stranding is not using completely the same Decima engine but a modified version. If you compare minimum requirements you'll notice CPU/GPU is not the same for DS and HZD.

Second, unlike a few posters above, I did have the occassional DX12 access violation crashes. These started appearing on my side after the game was patched.
Those are pretty much random. I could play the game sometimes for 10 hours and see none, other times the game crashed to desktop after only 15 minutes of playtime. For no apparent reason.
Anyway, I believe I had the issue like 20 times total and yes it's a bit annoying but it didn't prevent me to 100% the game.

Third, some people for an unknown reason cannot start Death Stranding at all although they're trying to play it on a PC above minimum requirements. Oddly, people on the same CPU/GPU/RAM combination play the game normally. Why is that so, noone knows.

Fourth, due to some nVidia driver bug, some people had certain texture problems. Nvidia released a hotfix that addressed this issue.

Fifth, Death Stranding has some problem with controllers. If you play it with K+M, no problems, but many people with any type of controller reported significant FPS drops while the controller is plugged in PC even if they don't play the game with it. For this issue apparently a workaround exists, but I didn't explore it much as I played the game with K+M, sorry.

Finally Death Stranding does not support ancient CPUs (those without AVX instructions). This is not a bug in DS and is deliberate - whoever was porting the game didn't expect some people will try to play modern games on a decade old or older hardware.

EDIT:
Forgot to add my rig details, the game played smoothly and had no technical problems on my side except those strange DX12 crashes: i5 4670K, GTX 1070, game installed on separate SSD (not on C:)

I only had one issue with DS and turning off the rumble feature fixed it. Esp since I am using a mouse and keyboard.

I had to refund Death Stranding bcos of crazy stutter (AMD card + cpu here). We will see how Horizon works. (and no, i did not use gamepad)

Can only speak for myself, but I've put about 80 hours into Death Stranding, and the game has ran flawlessly for me.

And wasnt that Access Violation crash fixed with new nvidea drivers??

Same here. No issues except for a schoolboy error on my part where not enough heat compound on the CPU caused immediate shutdowns in the game. Now I'm 99 Hours in and just completed the main story whilst reporting flawless performance :)

Running the game here with AMD Ryzen 1700X. No issues. Perhaps its the video card drivers.

80h in Death Stranding. ONE crash, after like 50h.

I had problems with starting game, access violation after menu. It occurred that files integrity was bad, after Predownload, so 5 GB new file downloaded and... Game run!

I have Ryzen CPU, RTX GPU.

I play on Dualshock 4v2 and those two so far, shooting sequences on K&M.

Game installed on SSD (not System one).

Finished death stranding without any problems on highest settings (1920x1080)...

AMD FX8350, 8GB DDR3, GTX1060

Mr. Hideous's game is the only game outside that uses the engine other than the original engine developers themselves for their games.. so, it has nothing to do with the engine, but rather the fact that Mr. Hideous doesn't know how to fix the problem with his game that uses someone else's engine for a game it wasn't designed for.

40hrs in death stranding, only 2 crashes. i alt tab often also
