Crashing frequently?

[Randy Savage]

Why tf does this game crash so often? I get in a groove and bam, just s**ts the bed. WTF Bethesda? No, I don't have a potato rig. I have a 4070ti and a I7 12700k before someone tries to throw that in my face. This is frustrating as hell.

Same here. And what I don't get is: Sometimes I can play 2h straight with no crash, then I do a side mission and it crashes every 2-3 minutes when fast traveling.
I do my part and spam MS with crash reports. They'll figure it out ... maybe. lol

♥♥♥♥, I hope so man. I get that Bethesda games don't usually ship in great condition but the last 2 days has been absolutely atrocious for me crash wise. You can't even enjoy the game. I happily forked over my 100 bucks, I would at least hope I can play it without 15+ crashes in one night, smh

I installed a brand new Samsung 980 Pro M.2 2280 2TB a week before the game came out. I have no issues with any other game. I also have 32 gb of Fury Beast DD4 ram. It's not my hardware.

Ya, just tons of people having the exact issue myself included and it was because it either wasn't on a SSD or it was a crap one like mine was. Yours maybe be something else though. Official support might be your only option, to help you properly.

I'm just going to do a full reinstall and cross my fingers. What a mess. I can forgive the janky AI and the people flying through walls. I expect that stuff with Bethesda titles. I'm definitely not trying to hate and I've had fun playing. This ♥♥♥♥ is just unacceptable though.

Have you done any modding?

if so remember mod files are not removed when uninstalling.

No, hell no. I wait at least a year before I trust those jokers lol. I always do my first playthrough stock personally.

I crash very often after a ship battle ends.

Never during and only once while on foot, my dozens of crashes are something to do with when ship combat ends.

Ive been having the same issues with crashes.

i9-9900K
1080ti 11GB onboard RAM
64GB DDR4 RAM
Installed on a 4TB m.2

I know the GPU is getting old, but my system can still run Cyberpunk no probs and with no crashes.
Ive had hardware monitoring up to see whats going on and my CPU hovers around 2-7% and only spikes for a second or two in the loading screen phases, my RAM starts at 15GB and slowly increases as gameplay time gets longer and pushes 21GB after a couple of hours, my GPU RAM is around 5-8GB and my GPU load is 100% (which is to be expected gaming).
The crash logs all are saying its GPU related: "DeferredGBuffer RenderPass" processes are being interrupted so I think its a bug in the code thats causing the crashes instead of actual hardware issues - especially since people across all generations of GPUs are getting the crashes and you'd expect the newer gens to be crashing less frequently if it was just a "GPU strength" issue.

Interestingly all of my crashes have been when on foot, and most when I'm just looting a place, not running and not even during an intense firefight - just casually walking so its not trying to load anything in quickly... hence why Im thinking its a bug in the code rather than an issue with my hardware

My only crash on foot so far was with a single doorway in Neon, i'm only counting it as 1 because it was repeatable, i couldn't walk past the threshold of the door on the way out of the syndicate hideout where that fridge is the entrance.

there was an auto save so after a few times trying to walk out, i just fast travelled.

all the rest are just a few seconds after space combat, so now i save it just before I destroy the last target because I know a crash is very likely.

I don't even know where to start with solving it.

Are you using DLSS 3.5 and Frame Gen mod from nexus? If not, use it, you should have 0 issues after that. Esp. you should use it cause u have 4xxx series carf

If you go into you C:\Users\whateveryourusernameis\AppData\Local\Starfield you can see your Crash Logs and the filename of the zipfile describes what type of crash it was - all 13 of mine are "GPU_CRASH_year_month_day_hour_minute" so I have a good idea what my issue is haha

Unfortunately Im unable to partake in such mods with my grandpa GPU so Ive resigned myself to gaming at much lower quality than I want to and just waiting for a Bethesda patch hahaha
