Anybody got a "Fatal Error" Crash and Close?

[HouseQuake]

I was playing with no issues for about 4hrs and then this pop up box appeared and all it said was "fatal error" and that it has crashed and needs to close.

I am on a very high end PC (4090, i7-14700kf, 64gb RAM), so it can't be my specs. Just wondering if this is a game issue or something else to worry about.

I am on the latest NVIDIA Drivers and the game is up-to-date.

yes, you can open the game with dx11 and usually it will stop crashing, but the fps will likely be worse too.

I have a similar build had one crash after 4 hours. Just booted me to desktop out of nowhere. Has been fine ever since though.

Ugh...

PC gaming man. Always an issue with new games.

I might just take my chances and continue playing as is and hope for the best until there's a patch.

That's reassuring. I guess it's completely random. I have a full free day tomorrow, so I'll be doing a long stint again. I hope it doesn't happen at an important moment.

Might just need to wait for a patch.

Yep..I'll just wait, with normal launching (dx12) the fps is smoooth in 60, but it crashes almost instantly when i load a save (it started after 15 minutes in the prologue). With Dx11 it wont crash but the fps just keeps droping to 20. If they don´t fix it in the next 14 days ill just ask for reimbursement...it´s not really related to any specs, mine are good too, it´s just bad optimization

It's fine everywhere else. One of the smoother UE5 experiences I have had. 4K, max settings, DLSS-Quality and I'm in 80-110fps. There's some minor stutter in some areas (The Manor), but otherwise fine...it's just this crash. I've only had it once (not played since), but once is enough.

I dont know why some people are having this at random but less frequent, mines are very frequent using dx12, i capped the fps to 60, was having a really good experience in the beginning and then boom..now it´s unplayable..

It might be the case for me when I return. But I hope not. As I say, I have a full free day tomorrow to play it. I'll be gutted if it's now a constant issue.

have you updated your mobo bios latly?

Should be stated this is a known issue with both UE4 and UE5. Its not something the devs themselves can do much about since its a problem specifically with the engine they chose.

I've read about this.

It's the first time it has happened to me, though. I've played a lot of UE games. Last one being FFVII Rebirth. I played it for hours on end and had no crashes or issues....but that doesn't mean they do not happen, of course.

Ive had 2 fatal error crashes, both times I was at the Expedition Flag and had just used the rest function

[desfunk]

3 times today. Twice while loading my save. Once after just finishing a battle.

Funny enough, I’ve had the same UE fatal error once in Oblivion remaster too

[Gunpukuu]

Had the same crashes again and again every 10mins playing. Trying everything and only once I can play an hour straight before crashing again.

Played in low/med settings. Thinking might be my old system but there are others with high specs also the same :(

[Knackered]

ive got a 4070ti(wank) and any unreal engine game that comes out i instantly have a problem with, marvels rivals was playable but would eventually crash, oblivion remastered is unplayable and so is clair obscure but i got both of them on the xbox game pass as i already had it
