V Rising keeps crashing my PC

[StormWing]

V Rising is the only game that does this to me, no other games have done this, there is no blue screen, everything just goes black (with some green streaks at the top of the monitor only, shuts down the PC, then restarts it, usually after 10 minutes, sometimes it lasted more than an hour.

device temperatures have never exceeded 60 degrees, highest Ive seen is 50 degrees, there is 4 fans in the pc, two being attached to the casing

Ive tried the Following
verified game cache on steam
game vrisingserver.exe and vrising.exe full control in permissions
game vrising.exe admin priveledges
lowered graphics down to minimum
put on v-sync (sometimes my games get too many frames and crash)
scanned for driver updates

Ive just reinstalled the game, haven't tested it yet

my PC specs are

Processor AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor 4.70 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.1 GB usable)
System Type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
OS Windows 11 Home
OS Build 22621.2715
Graphics Card Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060Ti
GPU 1 AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics
Hard Drive WD Blue SN570 500Gb (its a SSD)

guess just do the normal double check your drivers are all up to date and verify game files , failing that your computer is just too good for v riseing xD

If youve overclocked cpu or gpu then try standard.
Otherwise maybe related to 3rd party programs that inject themselves to the game. Maybe an overlay too?

I dunno how to even do that, how do I go about checking if its overclocked?

Ive been wondering if its just a bug that happens, as it is literally just v rising that does this, and its rather spooky to have reoccuring

if I uninstall am I gonna be able to launch the PC and install it again? Ive never been confident enough to screw with driver stuff, and I cant afford to replace these pc parts

Wait you have a gpu that you say is a nvidia rtx 3060TI
and you say GPU 1 is a AMD. This is a integrated gpu. And if thats the case you need to make sure V rising is running from your RTX 3060 otherwise thers gonna be a whole lot of issues.

Resolution
First, make sure your desired graphics card is the main source of display in your case it should say your 3060.

Verify in Device Manager/Display Adapters if Desired Graphics Card is grayed out. Make sure to enable it in the BIOS settings or video card settings.

Connect the video cable to the Desired Graphics Card's port instead of the motherboard's back panel.(if its a laptop you can disregard this step)

To set the default GPU for your application or game, you'll need to associate your games with it so your computer will know which GPU to use. (by default the option set is Let Windows decide)

From Start Icon, type "Graphics Settings" and Click the results from System Settings.
Click Desktop App.
Browse your application. If your application is not on the list, you will need to browse for the folder where the .exe file is located.
Clickon the application name/icon.
Click Options.
Set the application to your preferred GPU.
Click save.

This method might be easier if it works:

Right-click on your desktop.
From the menu, select NVIDIA Control Panel. If you're on Windows 11, select Show more options and then select NVIDIA Control Panel.

Inside NVIDIA Control Panel, from the bar on the left, select Manage 3D settings.
Click Program Settings.

Under Select a program to customize, select Add. This will open a limited list of your programs.

In the Add window, click on Browse.
Go to the file location you discovered in the previous section and then select the game file.
Click Open. Now your game will appear on the program list.

Under Select the preferred graphics processor for this program, select High-performance NVIDIA processor.
Finally, from the bottom right, click on Apply.

so I made a singleplayer game instead of doing the server I was on, the singleplayer game only crashes the game, not the PC. whereas the server with a fairly high activity rate crashes my whole damned PC. this I consider progress.

Ive done the following above, will update on if it changes anything. the coords should all be set up right on the back of the PC, the display on my monitor is a distinctly different shade when not using the nvidia card,as I found out on my first day of having this PC.

after about 2 hours after making this post my PC crashed, I only logged out about twice from the world

Go to youtube search for How to check application logs in Windows [Event Viewer] | Unlimited Solutions , now find VRISING AND THE ERROR CODE - Now google the ERROR CODE and you will see why its crashing if the event viwer does not already show why

Greetings StormWing, thanks for reaching out!

We're very sorry to hear you've encountered issues when playing V Rising. Since this could be the result of many different things, it would greatly help to narrow the potential causes if you would provide us with your .dmp files.

The .dmp files get generated in case of a crash in the following directory:
(%localappdata%\Temp\Stunlock Studios\VRising\Crashes\)

Send the files over to us at [e-mail], make sure to attach your Steam nickname and a short description of the situation.

We'll gladly take a look into this situation as soon as we receive the files!

it seems like that crashes folder doesnt exist, I found VRising but its empty. I have VRising on a portable hard drive, would that affect the location of the .dmp file?

Hello again, StormWing!

In that case we'd like to ask you to provide the .dmp files from two other locations;

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\backtrace\crashpad\reports

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\StunlockStudios\VRisingServer\backtrace\crashpad\reports

We'd like to ask you to provide files from both locations, get the .dmp files from the upper location after a single player crash, and the bottom one after a server crash.

Send the files over to us at [e-mail], make sure to attach your Steam nickname and a short description of the situation.

We'll be waiting for your response!
