Game keeps crashing in 2nd level

[_Boriska_]

I try to play this game with a friend of mine, but at the second level (with the skinwalker in the garage) the game keeps crashing constantly after a few minutes. I haven't found a working solution for this.

I might have to refund the game if this continues, does anyone have a solution?

hey, a similar situation happened to me earlier and when i lowered my graphics settings a bit the game went back to normal, idk that worked for me at least (maybe try verifying the integrity of game files if the problem is still there)

Try these things:

Verify integrity of game files on Steam (right click on the game, click properties, installed files, then click verify integrity of game files)

Updating graphics card drivers (if you have a nvidia card you can do it pretty easily in geforce experience)

Lowering graphics settings - it's possible your game is crashing because your graphics card is running out of VRAM

It's also possible that your save is corrupted somehow, so maybe just try starting a new save and seeing if it still crashes. It's only the 2nd level so it should take like 10 minutes to get back to that point

Thanks for the replies, I have checked the integrity of game files and there was actually a file missing/corrupted so I fixed that, then I ran the game in comp mode for Windows 7 and I tested the game on level 2, every setting the same (public game, 2 players max) except for being alone since I have no player to test with at this time. And the game didn't crash, so I turned off comp mode and it still didn't crash.

I hope it was the missing/corrupted file, because let's be real updating the graphics drivers has hardly ever been the solution. But I will do so anyways. And as for the GPU I actually make sure the game uses 99% of it to push as many frames as possible. Since I have a 240hz monitor and I get a nice smooth average of 200 at the time. This shouldn't crash the game unless it's constructed really poorly. A game that utilizes all GPU power is actually a good sign, for example Payday 2 only uses a max of 25-30% and runs like trash even on a modern system.

Soon I will see if the problem comes back when playing with my buddy.
