Game crashes after Shutter section escaping FEDRA

[UMURANGI GIRL]

I recently removed my HDDS and reinstalled the game on my SSD hoping it would fix this crash. But its still happening, the game runs fine for me up until this point and im not sure how to fix. Im going to try and lower the graphics and hope it fixes

I have the same problem it always crashes in the garage in pittsburgh after the car crash

where exactly does it crash? shutter section? you mean after the dialog at the gutter exit? that's a heavy scene change. showing you the full shot of downtown. lower graphics for this moment might help. this whole scene is kinda heavy. lots of particles. fx slider.

i have, at least this time my computer dident black screen and this time just kicked me back to steam

a black screen? oof. what hardware are you rocking? specs. cpu ram gpu vram.

[Jaeger Bombastic]

what is your version?

[UMURANGI GIRL]

cpu: intel core i7-2600
gpu: radeon rx 570, 8gb vram
ddr3 16 gb of ram

before i was using a nvidea gpu at 4 vram andthat was able to run half life alyx (poorly) but it at least dident crash. this gpu always breaks VR

that cpu is pretty old. it should manage 30+ fps tho. i'd assume you run out of memory in that section. black screen supports that guess. and i just clocked it at ~15 GB ram usage loading the section. i have 32 GB available, but i guess the game might crash there on 16 GB due to memory pressure.

i'd advice to close every other program you don't need at this point. also increase the virtual memory in the system settings to something more. iirc i used 8-10 GB back then.
you know howto do that? or i could provide a screenshot.

means of this is to give the game every byte of ram and virtual ram available. that's how i played thru it when i still had 16 GB.

Glad you gave a response that isn’t just “get better hardware” like i just have the money for it.

Yeah its able to run 30+ fps and i guess that must be the explanation. I also dont know how to increase virtual memory :/

[episoder]

this is how you increase it. sorry for the windows 10 tour, but it should be identical or close in 11

in the settings app open system. go into the about section at the bottom. go to advanced settings. https://i.imgur.com/sb0xbw3.jpeg

from there follow the arrows in the windows and change the size of the pagefile to 8 to 10 GB, the numbers are in MegaBytes. yours might also be on the c or d drive. i'm just setup differently. https://i.imgur.com/5QL8OoB.jpeg

Actually nvm im trying to figure it now. Im on the page with virtual memory im not sure what i should be editing here?

[episoder]

if you have a pagefile on a drive already just make it bigger with the custom size check mark. if you don't have one you gotta create one on the fastest drive you have available. just set the custom size and input the numbers in my screenshot. press okay and it should be allocated or resized automaticly.

Alright i put the numbers in, i can just revert my changes if this breaks right?

[episoder]

this should not break anything. it just reserves memory for applications that might need it.

but... sure you can revert that. you'd have to reboot to resize smaller tho.
