Starting to frequently crash to desktop

[Knight who says Ni]

After 25 hours of play time, the game is now frequently crashing to desktop.

Ive been saving to multiple manual save slots as other people have reported problems, but now they are all crashing to desktop the moment I try to select them from the main menu.

Ive tried rolling back to the previous version of the game using Steam beta opt in, and veryifing files. No difference. The game started crashing just before I updated the drivers to the latest (see below). So this problem has persisted through the update.

PC specs:
RMe Series 750W 80+ Gold
ASUS PRIME B660-PLUS D4
Corsair H100x CPU cooler
Intel Core i7 13700F
NVIDIA 12GB GeForce RTX 4070 Ti
Driver version 531.41 (latest)
16GB DDR 4
Windows 11
1TB FireCuda 530 NVMe 4.0

Ive submitted a ticket with all the info they requested and hope they provide a fix quickly. At the moment I stand to lose all my progress.

Edited to provide addtional PC info

4090, i7 13700k updated drivers, tried reinstalling/verifying as well as older versions and this crap is still occurring. Actually killed my interest.

Same here. CTD after approximately 20 min of playing.

Ryzen 7 7700x, rx 7900 xtx, evga 1000w 80+, 32gb t-force ram.

Game runs flawlessly, but sh!ts the bed.

is there a way to fix it crashing ?

37Hrs of gameplay and in the last 3 days having frequent crashing

I was having the same exact issues as everyone else, 30 hrs in and constant crashes to desktop when loading, fast travelling or failing a mission with a 4090, 7800x3d and dominator 6000 cl30.

I can say in my case though that it only started happening to me after latest the latest nvidia driver update(Baldurs gate one) and a Windows 11 update. Given that I'm new to pc and i didn't have really have a clue what to do, I just uninstalled the windows update and rolled back the gpu driver and it appears to have worked. Haven't had a crash since(touch wood).

DESDE HACE UN PAR DE SEMANAS, EL JUEGO SE CUELGA Y SE CIERRA SOLO. UNAS 5 VECES POR HORA.

SINCE A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE GAME HANGS AND CLOSES BY ITSELF. ABOUT 5 TIMES PER HOUR.

I also unfortunately started crashing to desktop every 20 min or so 10 hours in.

I also had increasingly common crashes as I got further into the game, but I think I have found a fix that has stopped it.

What I did is I went to the steam install location for the game, went to properties of the spider-man.exe file, went to the compatibility tab, and set it to run in compatibility mode for windows 7. Should look something like this. [i.imgur.com]

I've used this trick to fix software before, some stuff is just temperamental and using older system files tricks it into acting nice.

I'm having the same issue. glad i'm not the only one :(

[jake3433]

I've removed all mods, re-installed the game and I also changed my ram from xmp 2 profile to 1. Now I've just been able to play for 35 mins straight without any crashes, when before it would crash every 5 or 10 mins. Anyone else who's having issues changed their ram or changed any of it settings/timings or whatever?

[KriKitBoNeZ]

My problem seems related to when it saves...like fast travelling or just any auto save, really. It's random how long it is between the crashes.

[Taberis]

Welp guess I'm part of this club as well. Ran into the fast travel crash, seems no fast travelling for me.

Same issue here. I have pretty stable performance with 12th gen i7, 32GB ram and RTX 3070 but crashes are happening so frequently that makes the game unplayable. Crashes started happening after some point in the game, until that point the game was much more stable.

I tried dozens of different combinations in the game's settings. Bringing down graphics settings sometimes reduce the frequency of crashes but there is no permanent solution. The crashes are happening almost always after a loading screen.
