[SOLVED] - Unable to play, game crash all the time!

[DougGamer4K]

I wonder why SONY released this game for PC this way. This game crashes all the time no matter what I do. My configuration is higher than the recommended requirements and even so the game crashes randomly and for no apparent reason. I've done everything, checked the integrity of the files, uninstalled the driver using ddu. I even reinstalled my Windows 10 and the game crashes randomly. I tried to play it at 1920x1080 with everything set to low and even then the game crashes randomly. I feel like I wasted money buying this game!

Config:

i3-9100f
Rtx 2060
16GB DDr4

First of all. Sony did not release the game "this way". A company cannot guarantee compatibility with all systems and clearly that is the case here, and it is an issue with your setup and not the game. I'm not saying you did anything wrong, but don't blame the company. I would say to just refund it but apparently you spent 22 hours playing a game that won't work.

I spent 22 hours playing a game that crashed between 15-30 minutes and during the research I did I could see that this is not just me, but a lot of people. Lucky for you that the Gods of Olympus have blessed you with a hassle-free game, but that's not the case for me. I wouldn't waste my time creating this post just to hate a game that I clearly have nothing against, as you can tell from the 22 hours I spent TRYING to play it decently. It's a shame that a company like SONY releases a game that works well for some and works horribly for others. It's 2022 and releasing games with these problems is unacceptable to say the least!

What's your error? If you look into the error, you could get specific solutions.

When the game crashes, what does the prompt tell you? Not enough memory or something else?

If the game crashes telling you there's no enough memory, maybe you have to shut down some background softwares like Chrome browser. I receive this prompt sometimes too and after shutting some other softwares down I can play whole day without a crash

The message is:

"GoW: D3D Device Crash

The Graphics device Crashed. This is typically caused by out of date drivers or a an overheating GPU. Please try a clean install of your GPU drivers and remove any overclocks on your System.

Present Fail: Device Removed
Device Reason: Device Hung"

I made sure that I don't have any programs running other than the game and this message I got doesn't make sense because my GPU isn't overheating and my drivers are all up to date. This problem only occurs with God of War, no other game has this problem.

User error. Fix your system.

Try disableing XMP profile in your BIOS and let's see if the game still crashes

've already tried that and it didn't work, unfortunately.

believe I solved the problem. I noticed that the desktop window manager was erratically consuming a lot of GPU. I tried several ways to stop it but I couldn't. The only way was to uninstall the Nvidia Driver letting Windows itself update the video driver and it really worked, the game stopped crashing.

Windows Update would use an older version of driver for both AMD and Nvidia. Glad you can solve the problem this way but it's better to report this to Nvidia. After all, you don't wanna use an older version of driver forever for the sake of one game

Yes report to NVIDIA directly please.
