Crash

[Rum]

the game got crash when i start the game (at loading screen)
specs RTX 3060, Ryzen 7 4800H, 16GB Ram

What's wrong with this great game?

I really like the game but it's very buggy. It crashes so often. I have a decent system that runs games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy and Assassins Creed Valhalla on Ultra/high graphic settings easily, but for this game I have to turn down graphic settings to medium or even low to prevent it from crashing. I dunno but seems like some memory leak or otherwise sloppy programming. Pity because I do enjoy the game while it runs.

Close all background programs, make sure you have enough free RAM.

Try to switch to DX11, add -DX11 launch argument to make it faster. If it helps, it's just DX12. it's very unstable in this game for lots of people, especially online.

Why this game crash all time?

Watch Dogs Legion crash a lot of times... I play with Direct X 11, and my pc are so nice for play all games, but this games crash all time.

Your specs? Your CPU, RAM, GPU, VRAM, PSU?

idk, there are many bugs in the game but I never had a crash so far and yeah, sharing specs helps alot. PC or Laptop? screen resolution, ingame setting, operating system and hardware details.

Crashes in DX11 or DX12 mode? With ray tracing or without it? Online or in single player? Completely random or after certain actions?

Do you have game freezes? Or real crashes to desktop with Ubi Client errors and BSODs? Or the game just kinda suddenly closes itself after awhile? Like always after a similar period of time.

same to mee, always crash in loading load game. So Bad.
and this game Very Boring, Easy Play, Still good Watch Dogs 1 and 2

Make sure you're launching the game using RTX 3060 and not integrated AMD Radeon card.

Try to switch DirectX mode, add -DX11 or -DX12 as a launch argument in Steam using game properties. Try to delete the game config file - WD3_GamerProfile.xml - in this folder:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Watch Dogs Legion\

In case you don't have enough free RAM (16GB should be enough, but you're on laptop), close all unnecessary background apps and programs, especially your internet browser, and switch Steam to small mode.

LITERALLY crashing every 5 minutes I have 10 hours played. Literally cannot play anymore.
I hope steam refunds me for this ♥♥♥♥. WD2's technical problems never got solved I doubt they'll help us out here.

RTX 3070Ti
Ryzen 7 5700X
32 GB RAM 3200Mhz

this seems to have helped a bit, thanks! Unfortunately still on medium/low settings, anything higher and it will crash.
btw RAM is not the problem, 32 GB should suffice I would say.

That's weird. Try to compare the game stability between high settings and 30 fps lock and low settings and 30/60 fps lock. I've heard TAA off made the game more stable for some people or launching the game with administrative rights, but I'm not sure, for me there was no difference.
