Game Crashing on Opening Cutscene (High End PC)

[ØGThor]

The game crashes and causes my PC to restart. It's not an overheating problem, as my GPU and CPU are not going over 28 degrees. I ran the benchmark at 4k and finished with 62fps average.

Specs:

i9-9900ks
RTX 2080ti
64gb Corsair Dominator
all water cooled.

I find it funny that you think it's your parts. Programs is what makes that stuff work you know. Your issue deals with files. either they are corrupt or your SSD/HD isn't working at 100%. I think if it's a program issue your outta luck or you could do some homework and figure it out but without someone there looking at it your pretty much RIP.

I'll try moving it to a different SSD see if that works.

[ØGThor]

So it's definitely not an SSD issue. I uninstalled, re-downloaded and re-installed in a different SSD, crash happens exactly at the same spot during the intro cutscene.

Running OC'ed? if yes try default clocks

[ØGThor]

Im running stock speeds on the 9900ks since, technically it's already overclock from factory.

Do you have high frequency RAM? like 3600+mhz?
Those are very picky with high clocked CPU's and often need manual settings.

RDR2 can run ♥♥♥♥♥♥ on many PC's and has a few bugs to. (also crashed often for many people) But restarting the PC is mostly on indicator of hardware not running properly/out of specs.

Ram is Corsair Dominator 3200mhz

[Handshoe]

Nothing to fancy on RAM then, still 4 sticks of RAM (assume you have 4) can be heavy on high clocked CPU's

What power supply are you using?

[ØGThor]

CORSAIR AX1200i, 1200 Watt.

[Handshoe]

Bit overkill but a good quality PSU.

I would try with 2 sticks of RAM.

[ØGThor]

Let me try that.

[Handshoe]

Make sure to get the right ones out so you keep dual channel mode.

I've seen people with the same specs play the game fine. thats why I believe it's program issue.

[ØGThor]

Yeah, it's not the RAM. I replaced all 4 sticks with my old 32gb ones, and the game still crashes at the same spot. This has to be something else entirely.

I said running with 2 sticks.. 16GB
High clocked CPU's dont always like running 4 sticks (stress on the IMC)

Crashing is kind of fine (annoying ofcourse) but the PC restarting is often related to hardware.

Can your PC run Prime95 and OCCT PSU test without crashing/restarting?
