Constant crashing since patch

[Kain067]

Before the patch, I had 1 crash in about 20 hours of gameplay. Since the patch, I can't get through a single play session without a crash. Usually happens about 30 minutes or so in. It stutters for a second, then crashes to Windows with no error message. This has gotten really bad.

its working somewhat now for me what i did was delete the shaders folder then validated my files for the game started the game up and then uninstalled and reinstalled it and the crashing hasnt been that bad anymore.

i do recommend turning graphics to low or medium and setting your frame rate to either 60 or 70

I also had this issue. If you have Intel 13th or 14th generation, here's what solved my issue completely:

First off update your bios with the latest version.

Download Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU) and change core ratio from the proposed x55 to x53.

It might have to do with Intel stability issues.

No more crashes for me at least.

I have like 100+ hours (played a week offline modes since no wifi installed on pc) and got 1 crash. What I did frequently get was the long loading times, and when I loaded, my character became a random NPC-looks whenever I went to my inv , or I got this look directly into loading the game. But the mirror sometimes fixed it and sometimes not.

Then I got the invincible enemies bug (during A Time to Kill quest) and I couldn't proceed.

What it did fix for me, for EVERYTHING - was moving my game from SSD external drive to my PC SSD drive.

And no, my computer isn't a potato. At all - since I can run it high or ultra with ray thingy

if that fixes ur crashes, that means ur intel has degraded. it maybe covered under the extended warranty but 5.5ghz into 5.3ghz isnt that bad thou for games.

I almost never comment on Steam but I'm here to add in that I've been unable to play Veilguard myself. Every time I've tried, the screen goes black on me. And I'm talking it goes black I can't do anything with my computer I have to hold the power button down to shut my machine off just so I can use it again kinds of black screen. I'd be fine with it crashing if it didn't do that but it sure is doing that.

This is ridiculous. I had hope that BioWare would have addressed all of these complaints and concerns, given how they responded to all the (deserved) outrage they inspired with ME3 by going in and improving the game and I also hope this means that they're working on a fix since the game's been buggy for me since release, but until they have a fix for Veilguard, I'm not so bummed I decided to do a replay of Inquisition so I could get the vibes for the sequel down.

I would dearly love to continue playing because I want to see what's going on. But nothing is working.

I had the same issue, so I tested it on another PC, and the problem wasn't there. How did I fix it? By changing my resolution to a more standard one. My screen is 3440x1440, but I switched the resolution to 2560x1440, and since then, no more issues, even at 1920x1080.

**SOLUTION for people with 13th or 14th gen Intel Processors**

While obviously I can't promise that this will work for you, after getting 2-4 CTD every hour for the last days since the patch, this is the ONLY thing that has worked, and it hasn't crashed since.

Update your bios. Especially if you have an Asus board. If you use the MyAsus app (Armoury Crate works too but its one of the worst softwares in existence) you can see your current firmware version. If you have anything older than I believe it was like 16, you need to get the newest. I updated to version 1805 and haven't experienced a crash since. It specifically even states in the BIOs updates that they added support for the newest gen Intel processors, so there's a good chance it will help fix other errors you might experience on your PC, too. Just go to System update, and download the driver there. Then use the renamer, then Run the .CAP file. You can either load it onto a USB, or depending on how new your board is, you can access your folders directly in the EZ Flash utility in your BIOs. Just hit F3 when you start it and you should be able to go from there. I assume its similar for other boards, but I have Asus so its the only one I know step by step how to do.

It might seem like a pain, but its 15 min of work that will fix the stability of your PC and -probably- fix all your crashing on DA.

First I think my computer not enough, but after I check, is okay with ultra, and I played high, so there is another problem.
I checks' files and remove shaders, but after this, be very slow. So I put back shaders, the game chacking 10 minutes the files, now the problem gone, no more crash.
Now, I playing with ultra, so I hope the problem solved, the game better with this quality

Bios version 2703 adds some stability to Intel processors, and yes, stay away from bloatware like Armory Crate.

When updating your Bios make sure: use a usb stick for BIOS update file that complies with the manufacturer's recommendation, most brands will state 32Gb or smaller capacity with FAT32 format.

I installed the game after patch 1 implementation. The game crashed when shader compiler got to 95.x% completion. Restarted the game then it crashed again during tinkering with graphics settings (I do this with pretty much every new game prior to playing it). After third attempt I had no more crashes since, but the game was running like an a55. It was lagging every 5 seconds made it unplayable. I looked up this issue and it seems many people had it since launch, but patch 1 made it even worse. My solution was to delete the shader folder, start the game and close it. Restore the shader folder from trash, then verify game file integrity on Steam. No issues since. Another thing to point out is to make sure the drive of which you installed the game onto is not writing or reading another process, because this game will only run smooth if no other application is running on the drive. So I recommend installing the game on a separate drive from your main OS drive.

is this still working? i recently downloaded veilguard but can't ever manage to play more than a few minutes before the game crashes to desktop and shows an error about my graphics driver even tho i updated it and reinstalled them and verified the integrity of the game files and some other small things in the graphics settings
