game crashing constantly its unplayable.

[PhillyDaKid]

As the title says, I cannot get this game to stop crashing. Has anyone found a legit solution for this? The game either crashes my entire PC or just randomly exits to desktop. Numerous people having this issue as well, what is going on?

Restart your PC.

That's all anyone can tell you after that extensive list of your settings, hardware and OS you're using.

its malware

Buy better pc!

windows key + R, sysdm.cpl > advanced > page file > 16384-16384

[Drstrange]

i know other people with this issue. You report this in the discord where they want you to and boom youre banned.

[Drstrange]

so just dont tell anyone to buy it and leave a review saying its broken like it is and more good souls wont be sucked dry by this garbage.

My PC specs are fine, and they are well above the reccomended settings for this game. I have a RTX 3070, 40gb ram, intel core i7 gaming laptop. Only game that crashes my PC is Dark and Darker. Multiple posts of people having the exact same issue on these fourms but no one has found a fix yet. This game crashes when I'm managing my inventory. I have tried every solution I've been giving and it is making the game 100% not playable.

why has this moron not done what i suggested him to do but has the willpower to post the complaint/problem but not attempt the fixes offered? go ♥♥♥♥ yourself

[MeKLiN]

most of you are too dumb to hold down windows key + R and open the run prompt so how can we help if you wont figure out how to do the things you are told to do by the intelligence?

this does what exactly? Opened system properties for me

[bushwookie]

Unreal Engine games are known to crash Intel 13 and 14th gen CPUs, especially the more high end CPUs.

Update your BIOS if you haven't yet.

For clarification: https://www.yahoo.com/tech/intel-cpu-crashes-know-microcode-144636651.html

If you have some other CPU (12th gen or older, Ryzen) then it's likely the game crashing your system. The devs have to fix that then.

bios been good since 2023, i have a very similar build to phillydakid, asus?

[Drstrange]

for the record this issue has popped up in the past 2 months. Never happened once to me prior to that. Same PC

that does something you can google ... it says to put the page file to 16384-16384
if i couldnt play my game i would figure out what that does and if its possibly a cause or fix, and since you ask for help but dont trust people with knowledge or think they are also trying to hack you , google it. rust has a page file requirement, even on a 16gb ram pc, of about 10,000. you would be lucky to not crash on a 4096-8194 page file for a few hours. unity engine/unreal is the same game as this, and requires a lot of ram. i have played rust since 2017 i have noticed when it ran on 16gb flat with NO page file which is what you really want to be able to do, so the entire windows kernel runs in RAM and doesnt mess with the hard drive, but it is my belief today that a separate hard drive or even putting the page file (if you need one) on the gaming SSD is optimal, even its own ssd. it does help and change the games framerate, something poorly investigated by those who respond to 'game is slow and low FPS' threads, surely.
anways the game rust would crash until you increased its page file. there is a chance your hard drive is going bad, hold windows key + R, type CMD, press enter
CHKDSK C: /f
if your game still crashes try an extended chkdsk to correct bad sectors ( /f is only 'fix')
CHKDSK C: /f /r
you can move your page file to another drive in the SYSDM.CPL , worth a try
windowskey+R , then , SYSDM.CPL
and in other threads if you read my history, you will find i mention bad drives being related to the superfetch service. this is called windows prefetching and it can drop you 30-40 frames per second if the drive it runs on is bad. fixed it on my dads pc a few years ago. i do not use this service on my personal tournament-tier 5microsecond input response pc. microseconds is measured by DPC latency, or deferred procedure call to the processor, something your windows spying on your full of binary .exe files has a very high, crappy input response making people like you my victim in dark and darker. 5ghz cpu $500 and $600 gpu 4090? doesnt matter, windows is taking that all up, you dont get what you pay for, the more cores you have the more spyware is allowed to pop off under your kernel's hood. dont believe me? dont care i have 0.01 cpu usage permanently type meklin1285 youtube
