Jedha Crashing To Point Of Being Unplayable

[Shield of Ultramar]

Hello!

As the titles says, I’ve recently arrived to Jedha for the first time, but ever since I moved past the staring area, I’ve unfortunately found the game crashing quite literally every ten minutes, to the point of borderline unplayability. There’s no real consistency to the crashes either. Just as many have been in the cutscenes as they have the gameplay in different areas doing different things.

I’ve validated the Game files, turned off RTX and lowered graphical quality, made sure there was nothing in the background, but alas it keeps happening. I've heard many of the issues stem from having more powerful hardware, so I'm guessing that's likely a factor in it, but I can't say for certain.

I'd really appreciate either any tips / tricks if anyone has discovered some to help alleviate the issues, or a general patch for the area if anyone at Respawn happens to catch this by some miracle.

Same problem. I've played perfectly on other other planets, however coming back to Jedha is a disaster. I'm second time there. First time I've managed to get to ship to fly away. Couldn't explore the planet after finding Cera's base camp. Something is definitely wrong with code on Jedha.
All fixes tested - nothing. ReBar enabled. I've tried on defaults,reinstalling game completely -same ♥♥♥♥.
I have no issues not a single crash on in other places. FPS is steady and game is manageable.
My config: RTX 4080; Ryzen 7 5900X; 32Gb RAM DDR4; WD Black NVME SSD 1Tb.

I was crashing hard during the first time there and the spamel riding.

Disabled RT and haven't had issues since. Got a huge increase in FPS too.

Now I'm back again and haven't crashed yet.

Yeah I had to turn RT'ing off for jedha. Would crash almost immediately when entering Ceres library. Not all of jedha was crashing but in random points. I'm sure they got several thousand "low level error" crash reports lol.

Ive had no crashes I been playing with a 3060 gtx, Ryzen 3700 16 gb ram, and game is installed on a SSD, Graphicsdrivers are the 531.68 driver and windows 10 fully updated, only time I lag is during cutscenes, but fps seems to be fixed at 60 fps which seems weird since im on pc, Ive played 40 hours with fully fuinctional game, so really dnt see what the bad rewiews are about.

[Temerario]

Disaabling RT fixed the crashes for me. Before that Jedha was getting upplayable. Restart the game to be sure the RT is off.

Go to \AppData\Local\UnrealEngine on your boot drive and delete everything in that folder. Reinstall driver, verify game files and turn off RT. I did this and it at least helped me through Jedha. Everything ran relatively fine for me until Jedha and the sandstorm cutscene. Most of my crashes happened at the base on Jedha.

[Dreadful]

Add another one to the list. Crashing constantly. Going to turn RT off. Shame.

[Enigma_z9]

I cant get past Kobah, at least you made it to another planet. Its a shame the game was released like this with so many of us having problems like this.

Same here, my system consists of 13900K + 4090 + 64G RAM

It's something specific to their PC configs, but don't tell them that. I they spend 4000 on a computer it should just work, and be guaranteed by a developer that didn't get any of that 4000 and not the guys selling parts

I can guess this won't be the first game using DX12 like this for this to happen. Other "DX12" games weren't really DX12, just bolt-on. It's going to be a painful ride for the PC space...

But hey, at least this game did help me see that some of those DX functions in DX12 lack null safety and need patching. Guess no one ever actually used them yet?

Have you considered that the bad reviews are from people who had a different experience from you, from a performance persepective?

I have a much higher spec system than you. i7 13700k, 4090, 64GB, NVMe and such. Get an average of 48FPS and crash every 10 seconds on Jedha.

If I cared to review the game, it'd be negative. Because I'd be reviewing it based on my experience, not yours.

I am not raging about the performance issues I've experienced. It will get worked out at some point, and perhaps you are right that it is "something specific to [my] config".

But... why should that matter?

Yes, the developers should do their best to ensure that their game works on as many systems as possible, if they choose to release a game on a platform where there are many hardware variations.

I'm sure they put some effort into this. But not enough apparently.

I've had no issues with other games a huge number of people did have issues with. CP2077 for instance... other than things like some clothing mods not actually adding the stats they said (or imparting the bonuses anyway) or skills not functioning. In terms of what I could actually see, the game ran fine.

And... I loved the game.

But you wouldn't catch me making flippant remarks to people who DID have issues with the game.

At the end of the day, it isn't our job to know why it isn't working and I'm not about to feel the least bit guilty about shaming a several billion dollar company for releasing a game in this state. Whether it is on their side, or mine. My PC runs every other game I throw at it just fine. So if the issues are on my end, it is odd that this is the only game that seems to suffer as a result.

even after recent patch (patch 4) jeddha is still crashing... 4090/13900k

[Sohamkar]

In Koboh near Derelict Dams the game is freezing / crashing 99% times whenever I use any random combat move. Its completely unplayable

Have you turned RT off?
