My game freezes and makes my computer crash

[VicN-]

Hi folks,

I got the game today, so I've just started it, and it keeps crashing without no reason. However, I looked for solutions on the internet, so :

- I updated my Nvidia drivers
- Ran Steam as administrator
- Made sure my computer was strong enough to run the game
- Disabled the steam and discord overlays
- Turned off HDR (RE8 + Windows)

I'll give you my configuration, but I'm not sure it's because of that I keep freezing :

- i5-9600K
- 16GB Ram
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060


I'll try to uninstall and install it again, so I'll let you know.
Hope you can help me solve the problem.

Thanks !

Do you have anything overclocked?

[VicN-]

I don't know.. Probably my graphics card is.

[VicN-]

It's not

[DeadPhoenix]

Did you re-installed the drivers using DDU???

[VicN-]

No

[BaLuX]

Does it crash on startup? How long does it take to crash?

[DeadPhoenix]

Use DDU. You can find guides on Youtube on how to remove the drivers completely, and re-install the latest drivers fresh.

Yeah, where does it crash, cuz this game is a crash show, specially when killing enemies.

It crashes really at the beginning of the campaign. I just started a new game (never played it before),

Okay I'll try it. I got answered by Capcom, they gave me a few things to check. I'll try what you said too

I have the exact same issue. The game will just freeze up and force me to reboot my pc. It's been this way since launch and happens anywhere within 1-30 min. of playing. I have tried to troubleshoot everything I could think of and read but nothing has worked.

My specs:
GPU - Geforce RTX 3090 FE
CPU - Intel i7 9700k 3.6Ghz (liquid cooled)
RAM - 16GB 3200mhz
OS - Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Game is installed on an SSD

What did you do to fix it?

I just ran the game as administrator, plus I think that the steam overlay may be not that good for games in general, yesterday I played MFS and it also crashed because I was in the steam voice channel with a friend
