Crash in the second cinematic

[OpieWolfskin]

When starting the second mission, the cinematic crashes and the audio is heard for a few seconds, but then the window closes and I get an error: Crash Dump Sending Utility Application. When I turn off the game and press continue game, the game starts from the cinematic that crashes and there is no way to continue playing.
My PC has these components:
-AMD Radeon RX 5700XT
-Intel Core i7-8700 3.2 GHz
-RAM 16 GB DDr4

Same video card, same issue.

Same Card same issue so dont try to fix it yourself it is the game that needs a patch.

[OpieWolfskin]

It's a shame because I'm really looking forward to it. Let's hope the developers hurry up and release the patch already.

Did you try the Adrenaline Edition 24.10.37.10 preview drivers from AMD for Space Marines 2? Might want to install it then try the following

Adrenaline Control Panel -> Performance [Tab] -> Tuning [Tab] -> GPU Tuning [x] Enabled -> Advanced Control [x] Enabled

There should be a "Max Frequency (MHz)" slider with a default value.

Set the slider and subtract 100 MHz from that value (for example, on my 7900XT - it's 2848 MHz) so I set it to 2748 Mhz (do note this is different from one card family to the next).

Apply the settings and try to play the game.>

On my Radeon 7800XT rig, I have no problems at all playing the game and don't get crash to desktop issues. Totally different issue on my Radeon 7900XT rig - crash to Desktop galore when playing the game. No problem at all though when I limit the "Max Frequency" and drop it by 100 MHz or so. No more crashes to desktop after that.

Pretty sure it's not the game but a problem with Power Management on AMD cards when it goes from heavy to low loads causing a driver hang. There shouldn't be a reason why limiting the Max Frequency a bit fixes the issue (as that's not game related even though I haven't ran into this problem in any other game) so I pretty much blame AMD for this. Maybe a bit overzealous with the max clocks on lower load.

I just tried to go down to 100mhz but it keeps crashing

It fixed it for another person who also has a 5700XT (no more crashing).

What does your 5700XT default to? Try -200 Mhz from the default and see if it works On my 7900XT, the max frequency default is 2858 MHz, so if it was my case - i'd try -2658 MHz..

If -200 Mhz off the max frequency gives you stability, then you can try bumping it up to -150 instead. Max frequency doesn't really affect performance or lessens the FPS though, as the GPU does not get anywhere close to hitting those frequencies at proper GPU load.

It is a DRIVER Timeout and it ONLY happens on this game so it is pretty much the game has problems adressing the AMD driver with the 5700 XT.

The game is cpu heavy, and you're at the absolute edge; lower graphic settings to ease the strain.

What has CPU heavy to do with a crashing grafik driver? Nothing and no it is not on the edge with easy 60 fps.

I hope that is the case and that the developers fix it quickly, since between testing game settings and other tests, I have exceeded the 2 hour return time on Steam.

I have the screenshot of the error, but I don't know how to pass it to you.

28 GB patch and that crash is still there...just wow.

Adrenalin 24.9.1 solves the Crash.
