[SOLVED] Unplayable after v1.0.5 on latest AMD drivers

[Udon]

The game ran fine, definitely not optimal but much better than expected after seeing all the reviews since I bought it without any crashes. After the update and compiling all shaders, the game crashes within the first few seconds of continuing.

EDIT:
Re-verifying the game and building shaders for both main story and left behind (even if you're only playing the story) seem to have solved my issue.

I've seen nothing but positive feedback from AMD users, care to share your full specs?

I also wanted to add that I tried resetting all graphical settings to default.

Did you verify the game files after installing the patch? What error does the game throw? (open Event Viewer and copy and paste the error identification and description here)

faster compiling time does not mean game is running stable, if had multiple gpu driver crashes since first patch but it has only gotten worse as for compiling it went from 1 hour 5 minutes down to 22 minutes and now its about 10 minutes.

I verified the game files and one thing to notice is that building shaders was substantially faster this time. It only took about 5 minutes as opposed to 45-60 last time. However, the game still crashes after 3 seconds of the level being loaded.

This is the event viewer log:

This game is very sensitive to any overclock btw cos the amount of bandwith this game uses dram reads writes etc is absurdly high compared to any triple AAA game it can hit 21 22 gbps reads on my system
Honestly the first thing i would look at if it crashes fast is memory, you could easily disable xmp and test if it still crash within 5 minutes and quickly find out if its ram related for example.

Restarted the game again and tried waiting for "Left Behind" shaders to build as well (really fast now too). The game seems to run as before. Performance-wise it's still similar but it uses less VRAM.

And what is your topic supposed to tell us now, if i may ask ? That verifying the game data soved your issue puzzle ? Congratulation, but this secret was revealed a long time ago. Good morning.
