Game crashes on start up

[BriocheSankyuu]

Since the newest patch came in my game crashes on start up. Now my computer isn't the most powerful but I could at least load into my game and play it. Now i just get a black screen and a crash report immediately.

Any thoughts from the hive mind that can help? Or mods?
Or is anyone else having this problem too?

I've had this off and on since the TU too, isn't related to mods. Haven't figured out a solution yet either.

Same with me 9800x3d, 7900xtx. 6 hours of play time just from crashing and compiling crash report. Newly built system and ran every bench/stress test people recommended and pc passes all of them. Reinstalled the game several times and even did a fresh install of windows. Same issues.

Not of the “fixes” people recommended worked. Closest ive gotten is deleting the save files and eventually it freezes somewhere at the beginning cutscenes.

Actually I can't launch at all anymore, just crashes on the first black window box every time, and I was just playing an hour ago. Think this update borked something.

I feel all your pain! However I won't lie it's kind of relieving it's not just me.

Yikes. Sounds like a memory related issue.

Should we take a look with you sharing the DxDiag report and crash report. Also, you did not add mods yet, did you?

Uff, yeah - that is some hefty memory issues. I have seen that often, but not as bad that it affect someone's grahic drawing tablet. But another player had something something that it affected their Baldur's Gate 3 / Divinity Original Sin Launcher too.

The DxDiag report you have shared is probably from the game's folder, so it is missing some important information about your system storage drive available disk space.

What you need to do

1. Make sure you have at least 180 GB free space on C:, you doing graphics work it would be better if 256 GB is available all the time.

2. Then use in this guide tips #2 + #4 + #5 + #7 + #10 + #11# + #12 + #19 (in fact, with your current PC setup you can only benefit by doing all you can)

Especially #2 + #4 + #7 will address your memory issues.

3. Once you are done you make that your Windows components are still okay, as low on memory often leads to Windows update failures.

Run terminal as administrator and use these commands one by one

sfc /scannow
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /AnalyzeComponentStore
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup
chkdsk /f /r

When you are done with everything, restart your PC and give it again a try.
If the issue persists despite you doing the tips as mentioned above, share a new DxDiag report - the whole one - here you can find out how to get it

I was going through your list and i had a sad realisation that i only have 16gb RAM. I think i may be a lost cause :(

Im just surprised its struggling with wilds so much when it can run rise, forever winter and cyberpunk at a pretty comfortable frame rate :S

The problem lies in the game being a console port. Monster Hunter Rise is a console port too, but not a Playstation 5 console.

If you managed to run the game before, the tweaks sure can help - but yeah - there is a limit to what 16 GB can do.

I had such issues when playing Monster Hunter: World and I just had 16 GB back then. I bought then a cheap 8 GB bar since I could not afford any more, and all of sudden the game ran smooth with 24 GB in total.

With Monster Hunter Wilds being newer and more demanding than Monster Hunter:World, I can only recommend more RAM.
