Consistent Crashing Unreal Engine Fatal Error
No idea what's causing the issue (Edit: seems to be tied to higher refresh rates). Fatal error crash every 2 - 5 minutes. I'm on AMD CPU and GPU (7900xtx). I've tried different AA methods (FSR, Intel, UE), different resolutions and display modes. Not sure what the issue is but it doesn't seem scene/level specific. Been grinding through this play through. I tried downgrading my display driver from latest back a couple minor versions. Please help - love this game.

Heya.

Really sorry to hear you're having these issues! Can you try the following for me?

- Return back to the most recent graphics drivers
- Run the game as Admin
- Verify Steam Files
- Turn off Vsync (some users report that solves the issue)

Thanks!

That unfortunately didn't work. Are there any logs or upstream error reporting service that may help narrow things?

UE4/5 games keep their crash/logs in %LOCALAPPDATA%\<ProjectName>\Saved\Crashes

Hopefully the devs were forsighted enough to enable logging in Shipping build config so you should also find logs in %LOCALAPPDATA%\<ProjectName>\Saved\Logs

Whichever <ProjectName> this one has.

Thank you, Arc.

SecretMode, here is the crash report with minidump: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fVQhEQIAS6pQcsm-VZEUGQq4v3AgBuCI/view?usp=sharing

Crashes in RenderThread 0

Could you also upload log files ? Or are there none in the directory i posted previously (.\Saved\Logs) ?

No logs unfortunately

Some devs do like to unnecessarily suffer and make lives of their CM/CS staff an absolute misery :scum_banana::scum_banana:

Hope the dev can decrypt the dump and help you eventually :steamthumbsup:

So it seems to be tied to my refresh rate. Crashes were happening when I had 120hz set in Windows display settings. Dropped it to 60hz and didn't experience any crashing over the course of an hour play through

Hey, this is good to hear!

Do you still have that log dump?

If you do, can you keep playing so you can confirm whether the refresh rate does fix the issue and it's not just a false positive, and then submit a bug report via the "provide feedback" at the bottom right of our website https://wearesecretmode.com/

That would be really useful for us!
