Poorly Optimized

[Womb Kiddy]

I have a fairly high-end PC (i9-9900K CPU, 2080TI GPU, and plenty of everything else) and my game keeps crashing before getting 5 minutes of game play in. I even put the settings to 60fps, low graphics, and anything else I could turn off. "Fatal Error" gives no other details on why the crash is happening but the only thing I'm thinking of is that the shaders being an issue. There are no settings (unless I'm missing something) to change details for specific graphics to help eliminate shader issues. This is a reason Marvel Rivals implemented their new shader options to help people with their issues. If this game is going to have unnecessary amounts of graphics that come with UE5 and can't be turned off then a lot of people are going to struggle with having this game run correctly.

Fairly high? Gpu is from 2018, theroretical performance is ~13.5 Tflops fp32 for rasterized graphics calculations whereas fastest gpu now hits 109Tflops fp32 performance. That's low tier now. Stop maxing out gfx settings and dial down to medium quality with ue5 engine titles, why? because high and higher quality ads more forced ray tracing effects and at higher quality which of course equals lower fps. And since rtx 2000 series was the first lineup tho have hardware ray tracing, wouldn't expect much from rt performance todasy.

Your most recent review complains of bad optimization. Or are you just saying you laugh at yourself then?

Wait wut? Did he actually come in here to howl with the pretenders while saying it's bad in his review? *quickly runs home to edit his review in hope no one will notice* :D

I had UE5 game crash on my 1080 TI while playing Runescape Dragonwilds

LogD3D12RHI: Error: GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed.

Once i downloaded MSI Afterburner and lowering to -50 on the core clock no more crashes, and its not just wildlands its a problem with unreal engine 5 and older graphic cards Literally i crash even while trying to use the unreal engine game editor! with the same problem! They seriously need to fix older cards performance. Problem only seems to happen with UE5 games and most older UE4 games don't have the problem. The crash seems to occur about 20 minutes or so after running a UE5 game or even while using the unreal engine itself for gamedev! But in other games?? no crash!
Solution: Download MSI Afterburner and lower core clock to -50

You just step out of a time machine from 2018? that's not high end by todays standards, lol

This issue is more common then you think:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkAndDarker/comments/1djuywi/update_and_fix_on_game_being_unplayble_due_to_gpu/

and they still aren't addressing it just blaming older hardware thats perfectly fine

I am crashing here on a 4090

This doesn't apply here for the OP. Only the 12th gen and newer CPUs use Intel's hybrid architecture, and really only the 13th and 14th gens had instability issues caused by incorrect voltage, which has also been fixed by Intel.

Since when did the Reddit sticklers that have no idea what they are talking about invade Steam discussions? A good amount of people coming in here saying my PC isn't good when I know they don't even have a PC that can perform as well as mine. [Insert some brain-dead comment about "If iT pErFoRmS sO gOoD tHeN wHy No rUn tHiS gAmE GoOd??"] A normal 2080TI PC setup is still well above average. My setup is water cooled, overclocked, and tuned perfectly to hit scores higher than normal - hence "FAIRLY high end", not "high end", FAIRLY high end. If you're going to be annoying, go back to Reddit, this is supposed to be a discussion on some of this games issues to help find fixes or work-arounds; Thanks.

Nobody cares about your midrange PC.

An early access game isn't optimized!? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NO WAY THIS IS SUCH A UNIQUE SITUATION!

[Womb Kiddy]

Ignoring all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that never helped - here is a good fix for crashing that helped me:
1. Download MSI Afterburner
2. Set "Core Clock (MHz)" to -50 [Make sure to Apply changes]
3. Close MSI Afterburner and load up Steam
4. Go to your Library and open the RuneScape: Dragonwilds page
5. Click Manage [It's the cog wheel / settings button]
6. Click Properties
7. Make sure you are in the General page and find the Launch Options
8. Enter "-dx11" into the text field [without the "quotes"]
9. Load up the game and enjoy without crashing

Lol so your midrange PC is on its way out the door. You might wanna look into upgrading soon.

[RealTimeRob]

Bro, a 2080Ti is not fairly high end anymore. Its 2025, they got 50 series out now dude.

[Shmeep]

Fella that’s a high end PC in like 2020 at the latest 😂 get with the times

[Danyel]

Heh lots of troll in here.... anyways @OP this is a known issue with some nvidia gpu's.

This seems to have worked for me so far, no crashes after like 30 mins where before it was every 5 to 10 mins.
