Constant Crashing (due to spike in read/write to SSD?)
I've been constantly crashing where my game will freeze, black screen and PC auto restart. Below are my PC specs (fairly high end).

CPU - 7600X
GPU - 7900 XTX
RAM - 32GB
Storage - 1TB SSD Nvme

I have a dual monitor setup, 3440x1440 (165hz) + 2560x1440 (75hz). Still crashes when running on either monitor 1, or 2 or both.

When the game first launched i ran in ultra uncapped FPS and it had no issue.

Now for me to run the game without crashing for 30mins I need to run in windowed 1080p, 60fps. Anything more it will crash within 1 min of gameplay.

I opened my task manager and just when it was crashing i saw a huge spike in my SSD activity (100%) for a few seconds then PC restarted.

Thoughts? Any way we can reach out to the Devs to look into this? I believe many people are still experiencing frequent crashes.

Try purging your shader cache and let game rebuild it. Cap fps to 60 and don't use frame gen for now. If not, use DDU and purge all drivers in windows safe mode and install fresh ones after

Try to ventilate your casing well, so it's less than 50C within it... Check SSD temp if it's below 50C as it should be when there's a proper heatsink on top of it.

Yep I have purged my cache. Deleted the AMD cache folder contents. Reset in adrenaline. I also tried to install it on my other HDD and it still crashed. Losing hope there will be a fix that will be effective on our end.

DDU your AMD drivers (use display driver uninstaller via guru3d.com)

Open CMD as admin and repair OS type SFC/scannow

Then Install new AMD drivers

Other then that temps could be issue
