The problem with the mission "Fragrance of excellent tobacco"
Hi all. I ran into a problem that in the mission "Fragrance of Excellent Tobacco", where Arthur and Sean burn the fields of Grays, after burning the fields and starting a shootout, the game freezes, and then crashes and rockstar offers to start the game with lower settings. I'm in this rockstar mode and tried to complete this mission, but the result is the same. I lowered the graphics settings manually, without success. By the way, I have 2GB on the video card, but before there were no such problems with the mission when the first time I went on a pirate. I tried to fail the mission three times to miss it, yes, I missed the shootout, but when it comes to the moment where you have to leave on horseback, the game still freezes and crashes because of the fire. What to do??

Yea, ive had that problem as well, you have to lower the graphics all the way, that way it wont crash. After the mission you can bring back the graphics. There will be one more mission where you will need to lower the graphics again. Dont stress just lower the graphics and everything wil be a-okey, worked for me so hopefully it will work for you.

I forgot you wrote down you have only 2GB of vRam. That could be the problem because it need some of it, especially when there is fire. Minimum 4gb would be great

1. Just in case, I lowered the graph. In the graphics settings, I removed the shadows to the minimum, the resolution to the minimum value, vertically. sync. disabled and in the line where the choice of the driver, put DX 12 (it was Vulkan, maybe it's the other way around, try it).


2. I start the game at the estate. I run into the house, take the quest, go out with Sean and go to the plantation.

3. From the place where you need to douse the field with moonshine, I begin to steam the quest. I water the field, but I go to Sean to the barn, so that they can see me. The quest should fail, so I do it three times from the checkpoint. After the third failure, the game offers to skip this piece.

4. Next, we set fire to the hangar and the field, the guards run, Sean asks for help to fight back, in no case do we shoot (you will shoot, there will be a crash), just run back to the field, then to the left of Sean to the enemies and wait until Sean or three of you are killed times. The game will again offer to skip this part.


5. After the pass, it all starts at the cart with the money. Sean asks to unharness the horses, and he will look for money. We are waiting and in no way are we unharnessing the horses (there will be a departure). As soon as he says that he found the money, we immediately take out the gun and kill the horse right in the head, that's it, the mission is failed (we do this three times from the counter point) and we are again offered to skip this part of the mission.

6. After the pass, we will find ourselves not far from the plantation (estate), Sean will offer to go with him to the camp or stay. We choose an option. Now we can save the game. I hope that helped.

Did you have to restart all the mission each time ?
Or was there a "check point" available to restart where you left the mission ?
Checkpoint was available.

Ok.
I finally succeded, lowering all graphic options (with a 4Gb RAM GC).

In the future, you can always purposely fail a portion of a mission that's causing a crash, and after enough times the game will ask you if you want to skip, and you can just skip ahead
