ENDLESS CRASHES

[Dtizz]

Don't forget to install the game on your glass storage device. Gen 5 drives aren't fast enough.

My crash rate on XBox Series x is 2 crashes in 2 weeks where I've played approx 4 hours / day on average, with peaks of 6-8 hours. None of these plays were continuous for more than 2-3 hours without saving & quitting.

Ive crashed today, usually have to save before i go into a big city. Only game that crashes for me lol.

CP'77, BG3, and this crash for me very, very rarely. I guess they're all equally unoptimized.

Then again, I dug out all the bloatware that came with the operating system and even some of the drivers, made sure all settings would cause the least interference, and did all the wonderful things people must still do to get good PC performance. Hot new computer with recent drivers means nothing on PC anymore.

Just like it was 40 years ago, you gotta do more, but it used to be like that because PCs didn't do a darned thing without being told to do it.

Unlike 40 years ago, it's because now businesses think they know what's best for you and force things on your PC without asking.

When it works for so many others but not you, that means you need to do more digging into your setup.

There are good videos on YouTube about removing the bloatware... Plus some other things you can do in the OS to help all games.

My game reboots my entire PC every 20 minutes of gameplay.

I've followed these steps, lowered my graphics settings, uninstalled MSI afterburner, disabled steam overlay, I have no overclocks, tried undervolting my gpu, among other things. My temps are fine, average 30-35 degrees.

I have a 1000w be quiet power supply. I'm running an rtx 4090, 12900k, 32gb ddr5 ram. This game is just poorly optimized. I have no issues with any other game but starfield.

Did you stress test your pc for stability and defective components after putting it all together or you just booted it, installed windows and called it a day?

I have a 4090, 13900K, z790, 96GB DDR5, 4TB NMVE, 1300 W PSU with Win11 Pro and in the few hours of playing this game not a single crash have I experienced so far. I’m daring to say that this is Bethesda’s smoothest launch ever.

Check your ram, and your OC if you have done it (yes the XMP profile counts as OC). You can use Y-Cruncher, OCCT, Prime95, MemTest, etc to do so.

My old computer used to crash because it was old. My new computer is great. No crash. And the bonus is all the games are much nicer looking too. If your running the game on a new PC it should be fine. Does your CPU have liquid cooling and several huge fans blowing through the CPU radiator?

If not, the CPU shuts itself off to avoid catastrophic damage. This game is very CPU intense. Make sure drivers are all updated regular.

Old machine would run it, just had crashes and looked poor compared to the new machines performance. I am glad I did not complain too much, because the problems were on my end. Leaving the old case open with a box fan blowing into it helped with cooling. after a while though you can only gee-honkey your old POS back together for so long.

At the end of the day, I was looking at trying to get a new machine anyways to keep up with requirements. I hope you figure out your issue.

Clean boot and try again.
If that doesn't work, recharge your flux capacitor.

PC rebooting is a PC issue, not a game issue. Troubleshoot your bluescreen code. Most likely it's either a bad driver, or a PSU issue.

I haven't crashed for days and i run lots of mods
Maybe you have memory leak with constant save/reloading save scumming?
Bluescreen and reboot normally is graphics card overheating ?
