Game Freezing Entire System

[Swonk]

I've had several points in the main story missions which cause consistent freezes/crashes. By freezing, I mean my entire PC stops responding and I have to hard shutdown with the power button.

The freezes seem to happen mainly when there a lot of particle effects on screen (e.g. dust from destruction or guns).

I have a 6800xt and a 5900x and otherwise the game runs perfectly until these certain moments. To fix I have to lower all setting to low and lock to 30fps and in some cases I have to skip entire cut-scenes to progress.

At first this only happened every few missions, but as I am getting to the second critical point in the story these crashes are happening 4/5 times in each mission and starting today following a crash my user settings get reset and I have to re-agree to the UELA and redo all my settings.

If anyone has experienced the same and manged to fix it'd be much appreciated.

There is one thing you could try. There was a user who said he might have found a workaround or fix for crashes. I forgot who it was but I had copypasted his post to a textfile because I wanted to try this my self since my game started to freeze upon leaving alchemy benches.

Here is what he wrote:

"I seem to have found a solution for the VRAM leak finaly.
The game has an issue clearing out data when the graphics settings change.
Issue is, whenever you enter a conversation/cutscene, the game automaticaly enables extra sharpening and depth of field effects. This counts as graphics settings change, which causes the VRAM leak.
simply create a user.cfg file in the games directory if you dont already have one and have these commands there:

r_DepthOfField=0
r_sharpening 0
r_HDRBloom=0
r_HDRVignetting=0

For the first time since launch I was able to play without the framerate dropping and would love to hear if it helps other people!"

Give it a try, maybe it helps.

Just gave this one a go as I'm currently getting the issue on the Italian Job but unfortunately still the same. I also tried disabling resizable bar in the BIOS but no joy with that either.

Hmm ok too bad. Well, it was worth a try. I guess we just have to wait until the devs patch the game.

Since I disabled Radeon Anti-Lag, it hasn't happened again.

What would the equivalent setting for other Processors?

Game isn't using Reflex fyi.
