Crysis Remastered: Relic mission crash to desktop

[RayZ]

I've been playing the two first missions without any problem at all, but when I get to Relic mission, when it's start being dark and you have to take a boat - the game just crash to the desktop. it happens everytime, the moment I get inside the game and reaching this exact point, it's just crash.

Playing on Can you run Crysis? \ DLSS Quality \ RTX 3080.
Please help.

UP :(

Give some more info on that crash please.
As this is happening at that specific scene, then try degrading the AA technique. Try setting it to SMAA 1X or, FXAA.

just complete relic mission with my gtx 1650 super med-high preset. not a single crash.

Problem found: the setting "Experimental RT Boost Mode" was causing the problem. once hitted off, the game pass the point successfully.
I'll let Crytek know.

Interesting. This is new. Maybe the RT cores/ some OC tweak. Cuz YANUR.ARAFAT mentioned no crashes. I asked another of my friend, he says no crashes even with Boost on. It was a 1660super though.

I believe it has somethingh to do with RT cores.

Had the same issue with my GTX 980 Ti... my AA-Quality was SMAA 1TX and I turned that to TAA... I also noted that Advanced settings the game activated Motion Blur again (setting does not really seem to be properly saved)... turned that off again as well.

I could then load, play and complete the VTOL extraction point sequence in Relic. But in the next mission, down the hill, when I jumped into the water the game crashed again. Apparently, dying and auto-reloading your last save point destabilises the game additionally...

Update: Most of the time, crashing to desktop at least "stabilises" the game slightly, so I could pass the next areas. Also, I am using very old Nvidia drivers v456.71... this may for once have been an issue. [The current driver version seems to be Version: 496.13 WHQL Release Date: 2021.10.12]. I tend not to update to every driver release, installing over the old drivers again and again, because that massively destabilises the drivers.

I managed to solve it only by setting EVERYTHING to high, DLSS off. after that mission I managed to play without crashes back with the highest settings (I had a few on the end of Onslaught, but I could procceed)
