„Screen Space Global Illumination“ crashes the game

[noobahoi]

Hi,

the game crashes after some time when I enable

„Screen Space Global Illumination“

Hardware specs are 5800X3D, Windows 10, 64 GByte RAM, Radeon 6900XT with newest Radeon Driver 23.5.2.

I have a 1,000W PSU and the graphic card is not overheating. It doesn't make any problems in other games.

The support did get a ticket weeks but they didn't fix it. And I didn't hear a thing from them ever since. WTF?

[Hunterr]

Don't have a fix but honestly just turn it off. Since it got patched to just being on or off it looks pretty bad, and causes some weird ghosting/after images on certain reflective surfaces

[noobahoi]

I understand. Still, it should be possible to offer graphic options that work.

Maybe just don't enable „Screen Space Global Illumination“? Just an idea.

Maybe a problem with AMD cards/drivers? I have it enabled and my game never crashed in 40 hours.

RTX 4080
Ryzen 5700X

Well, I paid for all features of the game so I want to see all of them, but I have no other choice. ;-)

Probably either a driver problem or a problem in the game. It's just strange that I have no graphics problems with other games.

So enough 'bugging other ppl'. I hope the devs will fix it in the future.

Same here, I can't make it past the opening splash screens

Was getting the same on 23.5.2 with my 7900XTX. Disabling screen space illum seems to be the only way to get it to run stably.

Just updated to 23.7.1 and the behavior persists, CTD and resultant driver timeout notification with SSGI on.

For posterity:
7950X
7900XTX
64GB DDR5 6000MHZ
PCIe 4.0 SSD

Nothing overclocked outside EXPO. No current issues with other games, system is otherwise stable.

Crashing here too playing at ultra 4k on a 7900XTX, I'm seriouly bored of all these games that I can't play at ultra, not because of performance reasons, but simply because now games crash if you simply enable options present in the menu...

Forza Horizon 5 had the same problem, playing on extreme would consistently crash on some parts of the map, Hitman 3 used to crash when enabling RTX, now this game....

And no, "just turn off this option" isn't a solution, the main reason I'm playing this version of the game is because I want to play with all the new graphical upgrades, including GI...

At least the game is honest with itself, Spacer's Choice edition, it is indeed a buggy, half-baked mess published by a greedy corporation...

Same GPU, latest drivers; keeps on crashing no matter if I have SSGI on or off.

Just finished the game. 40+ hrs. Global is on, No FSR. Ultra settings. 43" 4k smart TV. Ryzen 9 7950X, RX 6800, 64GB DDR5, 960 Evo Pro Series - 2TB NVME, Win 10. No crashes or glitches found. Avg FPS 73. A few places dropped to around 55FPS.

Keeps crashing on 1060 6GB with Ryzen 5 5600G and 16GB RAM with or without FSR. SSGI off :(

That is likely a different crash issue then SSGI which from what I seen exclusively affects AMD users with RDNA2-3 cards.

I would say this re-release of game has some major stability issues on top as I also get random crashes on top of the SSGI issue (forced to have off atm).

INTERESTING enough the game is significantly more stable under Linux, but you miss out on some HDR benefits which can help on planets like Monarch. If you have Linux on a secondary ssd, maybe try running game via proton.

Nah, no LInux for me, thanks.
Also now that I lowered it to the nothingness regarding graphics seems to be more stable. But of course looks absolute garbage and waaaaay below my budget PC's capabilities.
Gonna keep looking for a solution, but thanks for the suggestion.

It's still crashing with the newest Radeon driver.
