Do not set a higher voltage on your memory rams. Take the original voltage. The game crashed.
I found a reason why some users could not run the game and have crashes after the startscreen. I´ve reproduced the crash. The game crashes if the rams voltage is overclocked higher as the normal voltage. Only a higher voltage of 0.5 in my bios let the game crash. Set the voltage back and the game runs again. You can see in my profile. I had no crashes for over 25 hours. Undervolting is the same.

Look at your rams. On the rams is written the original voltage and frequencies.

I´ve a few lags but most of the time the game runs smooth. Meridian needs optimization.

I hope that can help

Or you're simply exacerbating the game's own instability in a system that could otherwise manage to run it.

Sounds like you have unstable RAM when you try to OC it.

Always test, test , test! I recommend Memtest86 for RAM stability testing.

Why a lot of users are toxic against users that want help each other that have problems with the game. This forum is the most toxic forum I ever saw.
Why noone of those toxic users will be banned.

I think a lot of users right here on this thread will only flame and troll. I hate when this people are review bombing games. Gamers are so toxic in the last couple of years. More and more often.

I hope I can help with that, the friendly users that want help.

Discussion over.

both of those guys had friendly constructive input and you go on a tangent about toxicity

are you sure you're not the toxic user?
Verios44 Aug 16, 2020 @ 5:33am 
I always try to see if its a hardware problem before a game problem, but from that response, why would I or others want to help?

Definetly if U would know smth about OC U wont write this mess. Its 100% ur faulty PC parts and nothing to do with others problems.

you are the only toxic person here. no reason to feel personally attacked because your oc is not stable, nobody wants to hurt you!

If you cannot overclock your PC properly, just don't do it. Simple.

the extreme lack of detail suggests OP really doesnt know what he's talking about.
higher then what voltage?jedec?xmp? there are many different voltages used for xmp profiles.also different ram ICs have different max daily voltages.

im running with a ram oc i tested a lot and only had a few crashes after a few hours in game.
4000mhz 16-16-16-36 @ 1.41v with tuned sub timings etc.

Because they're ♥♥♥♥♥ and ehh maybe stay away from some Steam discussions.

As for me I wasn't trying to be toxic, I am simply pointing out that it seems logical that an already unstable game may crash more than usual on an unstable system, but that I doubt this would be the reason on standard-spec systems running the game. It is (likely) due to a hardware-software interaction for sure, but I would suspect more along the lines of make and model being able to chew up the game's bumps or not. Reminds me when I bought a crappy PSU and was fine on my GTX 650 but when I upgraded to a 1060 the computer would simply turn off under certain loads or certain games.

I guess it's fair warning to people running rigs in unorthodox settings, but my point is, I don't think weirdo RAM voltages are the fault point, just something that can facilitate the game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ itself.

Don't you mean 0.05? I mean I have mine +0.01 and the game runs fine.

Sorry for verious44. I read your post wrong. Yes the ram becomes unstable with overclocking. Really fast. This was only a test because of so many crashes by some of other ueers.

This is not my main language. Sorry for my grammar.
Do not overclock anything on your system a turbo function on your mainboard means not that the board is working right in stress situations. Use the normal clockspeed of your componennts.

I´ve tested 0.05 undervolting and overvolting all crashes with the game but with no other. I think a lot of users use the optimized mode of the mainboard. With the optimized or turbomode all is up in voltage and the bclk is 10 percent higher on my system. Only systems with good cooling solutions and a good airflow can handle it. I think it is a problem that you can choose this options without any massage that you can damge your components or that your system becomes unstable.

0.05v for ram is nothing.even at 1.41v i only see a max of 9 watts usage on ram in the most extreme stress tests like TM5.
it take something more like 0.5v to start seeing a difference in ram temps compared to a previous voltage used.and even then most of the heat issues will be due to heat from the gpu if airflow in the case is an issue.
in that case improve case airflow and try adding a fan on the ram.but having a fan on the ram is only really needed at 1.45v and up if you also play with trfc and trefi.

if your bclk is not on default that could cause a whole lot of other issues.
