Fix Holotactics Crashes

[TITLEplayer]

32gb ram didn't help
Verifying files didn't help
Please fix these crashes

Post your specs. Also, post which "A.I."/"Person" you were playing against as of your last crash in Holotactics, and how far you were able to progress.

The game is VRAM heavy, and so the first recommendation is to lower your resolution.

0. Manually set the Windows Page file to something larger, to avoid a crash from having to expand it during gameplay.

1. Enable FSR or DLSS upscaling.
2. If it crashes on Quality Mode, reduce to Performance Mode.
3. Reduce graphics preset.

Pyloon's Saloon seems to be very CPU heavy. All of that A.I. logic,... I suspect that an overloaded GPU might not be responsive enough for when the CPU "checks in", which can result in a crash. Poor VRAM utilization is a more likely culprit, however.

I generally do not experience crashes at 720p, Medium Graphics Preset, no Ray Tracing, on an AMD Radeon RX 6600 (8GB VRAM), and 32GB of DDR4 system RAM on Windows 11.

Been trying to beat Skoova. I increased page file size from 4gb to 16gb, and that didn't work.

Frame generation is enabled. Crashes regardless of low settings and resolution.

That says you paired 2x4GB of RAM with a 4070 12GB, which made me forget your OP stating you've upgraded to 32GB and it didn't help.

The Intel Core i5-7600k is a Quad Core without Hyper-threading. The minimum requirement is for a 7700k, which has hyper-threading, but that reportedly only results in a 30% uplift in performance.

The CPU is likely heavily pressured. A consideration regarding the 5400 RPM mechanical hard drive, is that slower drives may result in increased CPU pressure. Windows seems to be less patient since 2020, and it will nag the slower drives and increase CPU usage in doing so. I had expected increasing the page file to help, if upgrading to 32GB did not, but the 5400 RPM drive might be holding it back.

A combination of such a weak CPU, 8GB of system RAM, and a 5400 RPM HDD seems designed to induce crashing. Which is expected to be further exacerbated by a powerful RTX 4070 GPU making Recommend Requirements range demands on the system, but you say the issues remain regardless of low settings and resolution.

You've upgraded RAM, but I'd hesitate to recommend a new HDD over a new CPU.

There may be unwritten system requirements with regards to 9th Generation titles (PS5/SeriesX), of 6-Core CPUs, fast NVMe storage, 32GB of RAM, and 12GB of VRAM, as the consoles are set as a baseline configuration as a cheaper option to a full PC.

I don't know how old your parts are, the reviews for the Power Supply are 6 years old, which is a decent age on a gaming PSU. As they age, their peak output tends to decline and Jedi: Survivor is going to be more demanding on the PSU than most games you've played prior. I'm not familiar with the build quality of Silverstone, and it isn't the most likely culprit, but it is something to keep in mind. The Silverstone SX600-G 600 W is rated as "Continuous", which means it should have a "Peak Output" buffer capacity over or at 600 W in its outlying years (6+), for shorter bursts of gaming.

Oh sorry, that link is a little outdated.

Right now I am using SSD and 32gb RAM. I'm bottlenecked by my motherboard and CPU I take it?

I figured it out. After start of each fight, I zoom in and point the camera at the front light, making sure that no unit shows on screen. I was able to beat Skoova and T-1N6 without crashing.

Weird.

Didn't work when I did Caij. Guess I got lucky twice in a row that time.
