Found a solution for crashing with ray tracing !

[Dootslayer]

So the game was notoriously crashing for quite a few people with actual rtx cards if ray tracing was turned on, but under the years no threads were actually useful, like at all.
I had this issue too, but during my recent reinstall I managed to find a solution that worked for me.

Simply go to your folder and enable win 8 compatibility mode on your exe. That’s for win 10 users like me I’m uncertain how it works on 11.

I’m also unsure if this will work for everyone, but I surely hope it does since this game has one of the better ray tracing implementations.

Hope I helped and if you have\had this issue please write a comment if this solution worked for you or not.

The game only crashes when Ray Tracing is set to Ultra.
However, if you only set it high, the game shouldn't crash.

But I will also test your solution because I would like to play it in Ultra Ray Tracing.

My game crashed no matter the RT quality, the compatibility change made me use all of them freely so that might differ too.
I’m curious if it will work for you.

Your are right. I have sent an email to Crytek's technical supporter who suggested me use the compatibility mode as the last solution. The game runs well at windows 11 even RTX option is ON in either ULTRA or HIGH seeting.

I had it crash at the submarine constantly with ray tracing on, turned it off and it still crashed but a lot less. then after a few hours in i got 2 the bit before the church and it just kept crashing. this Win 8 compatibility fix seems to be working for me so far. ill have to try ray tracing on again now and see how that goes

Seemed to be working fine with ray tracing too but still crashed occasionally :/

Bro, thanks. Now its not crashing with RT.

I tried it and the performance got much worse. From stable 60 fps to 30 fps. Rather play without RT.

Well that is the price of ray tracing worse performance, depending on your PC specs

No it's not. I tried your Windows 8 comp solution and it tanks the performance. Playing with a 3080 ti.

Compability mode won't touch your fps at all, it has to be the RT, are you using DLSS?

Try turning off all the software crutches, you don't need them.
