Fix for crashing.

[Josh]

Introduction

Hi,

I have had the bug where the game crashes any time a bird like creature on the second area of the game takes off flying.

I found a fix for me and posted it in discussions and a lot of people it seemed to fix crashing problems, for some it did not, but still I decided to make a guide for it so more people can get their crashing bugs fixed

Steps

1. Run the game.
   
2. Open task manager.
   
3. Go to the “Details” tab.
   
4. Find JediSurvivor.exe.
   
5. Right click it and change set priority to High or Real-time (Loads have recommended not to set to real-time due to it prioritising a
   game over more important pc functions).

Another user commented this fix which has also been helping users:

This worked for me:

1. Disable Fullscreen Optimizations
   
2. Full-screen optimization and DPI settings are the default ones on Windows. You should try disabling it by following the steps below:
   
3. Locate STAR WARS Jedi Survivor game directory.
   
4. Find and right-click on STAR WARS Jedi Survivor.exe file.
   
5. Select Properties > Click on the Compatibility tab.
   
6. Checkmark the ‘Disable Full-Screen Optimizations’ box.
   
7. Now, click on the ‘Change high DPI setting’s button.
   
8. Checkmark the ‘Override high DPI scaling behavior’ > Select ‘Application’ from the drop-down menu.
   
9. Click on Apply and then OK to save changes.

Conclusion

Hopefully one of these fixes work, a lot have been commenting on my post in the discussion page that it does work and some said it doesn't, let me know below.

UPDATE

Update my game was working fine for ages, its now started to crash usually when I go to meditate, so it seems to work for a while.

UPDATE 2

Other users have also discussed disabling ray tracing seems to help also.

Is it freezing?

Changing priority to "real time" is typically not advised for any application. It can cause issues with Windows and other vital systems running in the background.

On the topic of your problem, I've been having similar consistent issues where my game will freeze during dialogue. It could be a coincidence, but it's always been during dialogue that it happens. Not during combat or random exploration, only when listening to different enemies speak, or while talking to friendly NPCs in the world.

I tried about 12 different fixes which did not work in fixing the bug where when the creature in the second area started to fly the game would crash. Doing what I done fixed it for me have been playing for a solid hour with this fix working perfectly.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm happy it's working for you. It was just a friendly warning that it can potentially cause other issues. I'm just trying to find consistency with whatever is causing the freezing, especially since a lot of people seemed to have the same issue with birds taking off to flight... But I've never had that issue with birds taking off at all. It's very weird. Guess I'll just wait for a patch in the coming week or so.

I went off and put the priority to high, no crashes as of yet

I'll give it a try right now and see how it goes. I'm super eager to play more, but it's tiresome having to repeatedly restart the game after each seemingly random freeze. I'll update once I get some time in.

This help me, but it was not a complete fix. I got another 2 hours of play in before another crash (also on Koboh).

[Zer0]

Oh god no. DO NOT DO THIS.

Disable hyper threading or SMT. You're welcome.

Had the same issue, always on the 2nd chapter. Not noticed if it's anything to do with the birds, but the first chapter worked fine even though my CPU is borderline for this game. I thought I was lucky and had got away with it (given all the issues people are having!), but now I'm on chapter 2 and it freezes every 15 mins or so.

I did try putting the priority to high which worked for a bit. Not tried real time yet as that's crashed my computer when doing it before.

[G0lgrim]

Yeah same... Coruscant runs absolutly fine on high settings after i updated my drivers to even enter the menu... but ariving on Koboh it freez-crashes every 2 minutes even on low settings... got one time trough the little cave... not further... the tip here does not help either. ;(

Yeah, I'm playing it on epic graphic quality and it runs perfectly. Advanced a lot farther and 0 issues.

I changed my review to positive after this fix.

How has this been working for you as of now? Thinking about doing the same, but afraid to cause issues with my PC per your warning.

I'm unfortunately in the percentage of people having a crash anytime a bird takes off lol
