Crash before credits/cake

[MoleMad]

For whatever reason the game keeps crashing and closing right after the GLaDOS fight and cutscene for me. Is anyone else experiencing this? I use a RTX 3060 notebook.

Drop the game to the lowest resolution you can, and on top of that switch to borderless window video mode. This way got me through the ending cinematics.

Try turning off your GPU's overclock

It crashed before the credits on my first attempt, then it froze on a black screen when I tried again, and then it finally worked. I didn't change anything.

This is kinda unrealistic for people with large monitors, since borderless window isn't the same as borderless fullscreen, the window will be super tiny and hard to see on large monitors.
I would say lowest res+fullscreen, or lowest res that is still legible+borderless window.

Can't help much more, but make sure you have:
- lowest rez
- top (best performance) settings for DLSS (Alt+X)
- load one save before the most recent one, certainly before ending travel through pipes, make sure you have that low rez, then SAVE the game to a new file. Then restart the game and load that save and try going through outro one more time.
- close all heavy background apps, like a browser with a lot of tabs, all video players etc.
- make sure you have the most recent drivers, new version for PortalRTX came out yesterday
- verify integrity of game files in Steam

On 2060 I couldn't get past it with rez higher than 720. DLSS settign didn't help. Game was crashing in mid of the journey through pipes, and then few second after getting to the warehouse.
On 720 didn't crash once. The only issue- couldn't take a screenshot of a cake in my native rez :)
