Game crashes constantly (RTX 3080)
Anyone found any solution for crashing? I have an RTX 3080 graphics card and it happens every few minutes.

yes RTX 3080 cards too low for this wonderful masterpiece. some will tell you go purchase a 4090 in order to play this game from a ps3

One guy said turning off DLSS stopped crashing.

For me (I wasn't getting constant crashes, just when I entered a new area) lowering my texture detail settings stopped all crashing.

I have 3080, no issues with crashing for me, everything been ok so far

i dident have any crashes, but was only able to play with default settings. any higher than that would put into the Vram warning 112

Can you tell me which settings you've chosen?

Are you using MSI Afterburner to overclock the GPU core and/or memory of your 3080?

If so then try resetting to the default clocks and see if that makes the game stable. I had +75 MHz on the core and +500 MHz on the memory and that was working fine with the dozens and dozens of games I have played since I got the card last August. Just not this one.

Also, if you are using DLSS then try running the game native as I have read comments from others that it fixes the crashes for them.

I was getting crashes between 2 and 15 minutes into the game every time but tonight, after making sure DLSS was disabled and my GPU was set to its default clocks, I was able to play it for over an hour and exit the game of my own accord instead of it crashing.

This is on the 1440p High preset by the way which the recommended settings for a 3080 according the published system requirements.

that sucks, thanks for highlighting. I put a post up called 'Constant Crashing - Suggestion to help. Here it is :)

Hi all,

Just to help those out there that are dealing with a lot of crashes.

When I played the game yesterday originally, I let the shaders load before going into the game and had severe texturing issues along with multiple crashes. I set my settings on for NVIDIA DLSS and crashing / texture issues still continued.

After the patch today, textures are finally decent, however still crashed every 5-10 minutes.

From looking around (and not easy to find btw), someone said to turn off DLSS. I did this and since I have had 1 crash in about 3 hours of playing and that was during a very high-effect intense scene.

So for those with crashes on Nvidia, maybe try with DLSS off to see if this helps you while waiting for a patch.

For clarity

Intel I9 12900K 3.20ghz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (8GB VRAM)
32GB Corsair Vengence RAM
Windows 11

My settings are as follows for a similar build:

Display Resolution 2560x1440
V-Sync - Off
Scaling Mode - Default
Render Scale - 100
FOV - 0
Camera Shake, Motion Blur, Chromatic Aberration Intensity and Film Grain Intensity all turned off.

Graphics Preset - Custom
Animation Quality - High
Draw Distance - Medium
Dynamic Objects Level of Detail - High
Characters Level of Detail - Ultra
Environments Level of Detail - High

Dynamic Objects Texture Quality - Ultra
Characters Texture Quality - Ultra
Environments Texture Quality - Medium
Visual Effects Texture Quality - High
Texture Filtering - Anisotropic 16x
Texture Sampling Quality - Ultra

Ambient Shadows Quality - Half Resolution
Directional Shadow Resolution - High
Directional Shadow Distance - High
Image Based Lighting - On
Spotlights Shadow Resolution - High
Points Lights Shadow Resolution - High
Bounced Lighting - On
Screen Space Shadows Quality - High
Dynamic Screen Space Shadows - On
Contact Shadow Quality - High
Screen Space Ambient Occlusion - On
Ambient Occlusion Denoise Quality - On
Screen Space Cone Tracing - On

Screen Space Reflections - On
Screen Space Reflections Accuracy - 75
Screen Space Reflections Distance - 80
Glossy Reflections Distance - 75
Real-Time Reflections Quality - High
Real-Time Clouds Shadow Reflections - On

Screen Space Sub-Surface Scattering - On
Refraction Quality - Full Resolution

With these settings and DLSS off, I have found no stuttering issues (other than the awkward mouse movement) and decent quality game play.

I hope this helps people get it working at least to enjoy some game play while waiting for a decent patch. :)

3080 here, 12 hours played. had 3 crashes in total. that's not a lot.

my ingame settings: graphics preset high (what the game suggested)
DLSS : off
1440p screen res
60 FPS locked

9900K / 32 GB RAM / shaders compiled 100% (40 Mins wait in the Main Menu).
performance is stable @60, game looks great.
after the recent patch there was some stutter introduced within the first hour of playing but it's gone now.

That's ok though. The default settings are not created equal for all games... .and medium on one game can be more demanding better than ultra on another.

That being said, it definitely looks like there are opportunities for optimization.

3080 and a 5900x on high at 4k with DLSS quality on runs smooth as hell for me

All that I can say regarding the VRAM warning is that this game may think that there's significantly less VRAM than is actually present. In my case, it thinks that 4GB is present – the card has 8GB – and it warns because of expected usage approaching 6GB.
