Hi Howlix,

I'm sorry to hear that. We know that the best settings are not yet fully optimized. The game is still in development, and while we have made progress with low-spec and medium settings, there is still work to be done on optimization.

We’re working hard to improve it!

Wishing you a great day,
Raven
Has there been any update on this? I'm running a 2070 super and experiencing the same thing. When I launch the game, it uses 98% of the GPU, and then just shuts off my PC.
UPDATE: for anyone running into a similar issue, check you max FPS. Mine was set to unlimited by default

Indeed, the FPS was set to 'unlimited' on the first launch of the game. We recently fixed this, but for all players who launched the game before this fix, you will need to make this adjustment yourself in the game options.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Raven

Having the same issue - just bought this game and when I try to run it, PC resets. Not sure how to change my max FPS if I can't start the game? Or would that be on my Nvidia app?

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear that.
You shouldn't have any more issues related to FPS during the game initialization.
I can suggest a list of things to try to fix the problem:

  • use Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11 64-bit: we do not support older versions of Windows
  • check the software prerequisites have been installed by Steam. These are the DirectX redistributable and Visual C++ redistributables.
  • test to disable XMP or to change the XMP profile in bios
  • check you have a graphics card
  • install the latest graphics driver of you graphics card
  • check you've the latest directX install (normally already checked by Steam at the install of the game)
  • in some cases, using DirectX 11 is better for older computer to avoid the graphics drivers to emulate DirectX12: add '-dx11' to the launch options of the game (see images below)
