No More crash or Freeze!!

[Freeman]

I tried a lot of things, but these little tricks helped me a lot to stabilize the game, and now it runs perfectly well:

For best graphics and no more crash and freeze, I do like that

+ Open the file located at "%localappdata%\CallistoProtocol\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini" and at the end of the file add the following text in a new line (ONLY THIS 4 LINES!!) :

[/script/engine.renderersettings]
niagara.CreateShadersOnLoad=1
r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1
r.Shaders.Optimize=1

+ Graphics on ULTRA + Motion Blur = OFF + 60IPS in my nVidia card parameters

+ Steam Launch Properties (thanx to P4RZ1V4L for this trick)

add the following line under the Launch Properties (Right clicking the game on Steam -> Selecting Properties -> Under the "General" tab =>
-xgeshadercompile

And.. tada!!! It works very fine, iit's beautiful, and no more crash and freeze with 60fps always!

this why pc gaming sucks. You have to spend hours tweaking ♥♥♥♥ instead of playing DA GAME

I tried this and it helped a lot. Still drops a bit here and there but for the most part pretty solid.

You didn't know the time when (almost) every game released on PC was a pain in the ass for the vast majority of players. You had to be a real geek to be sure to launch your game correctly, now it's much better, and it's only 2% of the games that have problems.
Besides, to be sure to have a game that runs without problems, you need to have a PC without any software that runs in the background, like anti-virus, and even Geforce Now that only adds to the problems. Since my PC contains ONLY games and nothing else (except: Steam, uPlay etc., and Opera GX.), I never have any problems even with Denuvo, except with Callisto!

I'll try and see if it helps reduce stuttering.

I did what you said and I now get a black screen on launch. Is it the shaders compilation ? Should I wait ? How long does it takes please ?

Remember to switch to DX11 as these settings only work on DX11.

Shader compilation is a DX12 feature, why do you think it only works DX11 ? I don't understand your logical.

DX11 doesn't mean you don't need caching shaders.
These settings only work with D3D11 UE4. Ask EPIG why.

Thanks, it helped in my case. and my game stopped crashing in main menu However, I do have some stutter, but probably need few changes in drivers settings, installed newer ones yesterday.

I've been gaming on PC for over 3 decades and never had this much trouble running games in the past. You'd stick the floppy in and play your Doom or whatever. This is a modern game development problem. Either they are stuck in Early Access for a decade and you forget the game even exists by the time it gets finished or they push out unfinished games that barely run. That's the new normal. I remember when the Baldur's Gate game came out and the game ran fine out of the box. Sure, it was buggy, but it wasn't anything critical. The game was playable from start to finish despite being one of the biggest games of the time and coming on 6 CDs. Those days are gone. Now you're lucky if the a triple AAA game even starts at launch. LOL

Was running medium + dx12 = 60 fps.
Ran medium + these changes + dx11 = 54 fps.
Ran high + these changes + dx11 = 48 fps.
Ran high + dx12 = 56 fps.

I think these settings are another case of placebo + luck with crashes (for whoever was having crashes, it was not my case).

This was all without upscaling on 1080p because FSR is garbage.

I Asked for refund - 60 euros for an unplaying freezing game.

Okay this statement is the best so far. I do hope the Dev read this. And apply more patches for us PC gamers. This is sad BTW.
