Game is Hard Crashing my PC

[Owlski]

I meet the recommended specs, but no matter what I've troubleshooted the game still hard crashes after a few mins of it being ingame. Once Human is the only game that does this to me. I've ran much more intensive games and programs without issue.

Please read what I've tried below before commenting a potential solution!

Things I've tried:
- updated my drivers (including BIOS)
- check/verify cache
- cap my FPS (60fps)
- disabled non-essential services in System Config
- Ran game via Geoforce Experience
- Tried to run the ingame Repair (no issues found)
- Switch the game over from HDD to SSD
- it's not a overheating/temp issue

At this point, I'm probably just gonna hold off until a fix is made or just hold off indefinitely.
I was already hesitant to try this game out cause of the seasonal wipes, but guess this is the game telling me to just not bother for the time being~

Update your bios for pc try that, it helps with the hardware too

I FIXED MINE!!

After 10H working on a Fix, I found how to fix mine.

Click the Windows START MENU

Search SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Click the SERVICES tab

Click Hide all Microsoft services (to avoid removing a system service).

Click Disable All

Manually enable services associated with your motherboard. My MOBO is an ASUS so I enabled the 5-6 ASUS services

Enable NVIDIA / AMD services

Enable Steam Services (otherwise, you'll have a VAC error on startup)

Enable program you really need (logitech, headset, mouse, anticheat, etc.)

Click Reboot NOW

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ps: My guess was that something was creating this issue... we all have a program in common that creates that crash. From time to time, if you have errors with XYZ program, re-enable service associated with this device/software.

I also disabled the nvidia overlay and and ran it with the -dx12 prompt under the game properties in steam. as well as undervolted my gpu. the final thing to get it going was the advice above.
My specs
i7 5960x
Asus x99 Delux ii
32 gig ram
on windows 10.

Hope this helps you all solve your issues. I haven't had it crash since.

[UnKnown4mat]

mine is
arous x570s master
32 gig ram
amd ryzen 9 3900xt needs to be upgraded to lates 5950x
aorus rtx 3070
also if your using game on a m.2 nvme ssd, get a heat sink for it i got one on mine
if temo goes past 70c here is going to be a problem like ssd dying on you, it happend to me
i got a thermalbright HR-10 2280 pro black it has a little fan for it and my ssd stays 50c or below
check your temps with core temp or other free apps to make sure stuff isent over heating while playing

Did you even read my post?..
If you did, then I'm not sure what: "disabled non-essential services in System Config" means to you~

I saw your exact copy/paste message from another troubleshoot, attempted it, and then wrote this post.

As my post says; I tried the game both on HDD and SSD with the same issues.

It's not a temp issue as the game didn't even get past the character customization screen before hard crash. (Fans didn't rev up and I've not had any heating issues running more intensive games).
---------
As for your previous post/troubleshoot; If the issue is really tied to Nividia's Geoforce Experience, then that's an issue with Once Human.
I've now heard that Geoforce Experience is the issue, as well as the solution, as people saying running it via Geoforce Experience will fix the issue.

At a certain point; Have to stop and wonder if you're having to jump backwards through a hoop just to prevent 1 game from crashing (out of the hundreds that run just fine), if it's just an issue with the game that needs to be sorted out.

Yea you need bios updates, sometimes the bios is so old I won't know what a m.2 ssd is or a rtx graphics cards, it's important to keep it up to date

[UnKnown4mat]

I was just playing today and they said something is wrong with the creation part it's over loaded

[UnKnown4mat]

You don't need to disable anything just make sure your up to date, if you go to Intel they will scan your pc to update it too, did you build this or pre-built purchase, don't forget windows update too, I've been working on pcs for years since before most of you could walk or earlier lol I'm 49

If it's just the game crashing make sure you checking game files in steam too,
