Anyone else crashing on selecting Chapters in main menu screen?

[Snow]

Story is managing to run fine so far without crashes for me but hitting the Chapters button to access the flow chart in the main menu screen causes the game to crash with a VK_Error_Device_Lost message.

Also happening in the Extras menu but only when choosing Artwork, Videos and Soundtrack categories.

Seeing a lot of random crashes people are experiencing. Anyone else happen to encounter this weird one yet? Only crashes at selecting those areas.

Have an AMD card with drivers updated.

Which AMD card, and specific driver version? How much system memory do you have, and how much free hard drive/SSD space do you have?

I have noticed that the game DOES require a lot of video memory, and if you are running into things like chipset drivers or even in need of a BIOS update, it is possible that the video card going to main system memory to compensate might cause your issues.

Remember, when the video card runs out of memory, it goes to main system memory to compensate. If you run low on main system memory, the system will use the pagefile(virtual memory, hard drive/SSD). If drivers freak out due to this, then crashing may result.

The drivers are somewhat different between the RDNA(Radeon 5000 series), Vega64, and the older cards, so even a 20.5.1 driver version will be different between product generations.

Yeah this happens to me too, I've been communicating with Quantic Dream and they gave me boilerplate answers and stopped responding when I told them their fixes didn't help. This is stupid frustrating. I thought it might have something to do with the global player data function not working properly, but I don't know if that would apply to the extras menu (I didn't even realize there was an issue there because I'd never tried to access it).

The only thing I did find was that after turning every graphics option down to the base value and running on windowed mode, and all the other unhelpful nonsense Quantic Dream got me to do because my 'graphics card couldn't handle their very demanding game' (well above min spec and it ran the game just fine) I no longer got the VK error, which I think means it's not a problem with graphics at all but the crash is a deeper issue that causes a problem with graphics as a secondary effect, spitting out the VK bug.

It looks like it's specific to interactible branching choice menus.
