Crashing non stop

[Melancholia]

I can play for like 5 minutes at most, then my PC just crashes, no error warning whatsoever. Updated all of my graphic card and windows drivers. Was the same with the demo. I got no clue what is going on, never had this problem with any game before.

Your PC completely shuts down/restarts?

Dunno if this is your specific issue but I had random PC crashes in another game (Astlibra) and it was only that specific game. Turns out I needed to update my system bios. Might be worth looking into.

Hi there, thanks for letting us know. We've been examining reported crashes. In case you have GeForce graphics card please make sure to update to its newest driver. NVIDIA released fixes that caused frequent crashes while playing Mandragora along with other games:
"3.1.1 Fixed Gaming Bugs
> [Fortnite] random crashes during gameplay [5171520]
> [The First Berserker: Khazan] DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED Crash [5195216]"

I am playing on a Radeon™ RX 6900 XT

[Melancholia]

I'm experiencing full system crashes (no error, no log, forced reboot) when playing. The issue is exclusive to this game.

Specs:
– AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (16 GB VRAM)
– Windows 11, latest drivers and updates

The crash was resolved by:
– Lowering resolution (below 1440p initially)
– Limiting FPS
– Setting Shadows and Global Illumination to Low/Off in the graphics menu

This suggests a critical issue with the engine’s handling of AMD GPUs under high load (likely related to shadows, Lumen, or VRAM spikes at startup).

Please investigate stability issues with RDNA2 GPUs. The game has great potential but needs better compatibility for high-end AMD systems.

I'm experiencing PC shut down completely multiple times. Only with this game. I have an RX 6700 XT and Windows 11. I even ordered a new PSU. But it still crashes my PC. Other than that, this is a fun game.

i have also experienced pc crashes, @Melancholia 's fix seemed to also fix it for me.
what i did:
"– Limiting FPS
– Setting Shadows and Global Illumination to Low/Off in the graphics menu"
- activating Upscale Method for AMD

try this, it should make the game run much better https://youtu.be/BOTj1NXGVuc
