PC, crash on start up, any fixes?

[ThatFeboGuy]

As the title mentions, I've tried a couple things that seems to work for some people but nothing. I downloaded FPS mods through nexus for better game visuals but I've removed them and re installed the game 3 times, deleted some "trouble" files, nothing. Just don't know what else to do. Some help would be great. Thank you!

Is your machine capable of running the game?
For start up crashes...
- Check your crash reports they should tell you whats causing the crash. (Could be a file could be something else)
- Add the game to your Anti-Virus Exceptions List (I usually do my whole steam folder to make it easier) I find most of the time the virus program you are using is considering the game as a threat and shuts it down.
- The Obvious Update Drivers
- Verify your games Cache through steam
-Reinstall your graphics drivers - there could be an error at some point during installation

The main culprits seem to be re_chunk_000.pak.patch_002.pak and re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak.patch_002.pak So deleting those may assist but it seems you may have tried this already.


A few things you could try also once your able to get in if you constantly have crashing.

1) If you have the high res texture pack, remove it. At this time the pack is incredibly unstable and some of the textures are reading to high and bloating when they should not be.
(Some people have had no issues, while some are. Just depends on your machine)

2) Turn off FrameGen - Although its is a great tool, it is a bit glitch. I personally kept crashing on a certain monster investigation that i couldn't get through to. Disabled it and was able to run crash free.

3) The obvious - Update Drivers INCLUDING windows and other.

4) Sometimes cross-play can be the culprit. Especially if you are noticing a pattern with the crashes. Disable it and see.

5) Delete your cache files.

6) Lastly try lowering your settings a little bit (Eg: Your on Ultra go to High).
If you have Nividia card i find the Nvidia App keeps restarting your settings either reading to high for your machine. You can try disabling the Auto-Optimization within the program itself. So your settings in game dont change.

My machine is a AMD Ryzen 7 7700 > Geforce RTX 4070 SUper > 32GB RAM - I play everything on ultra and did use to have the texture pack installed. I got rid of it as it was causing me a lot of problems before the patch along with the Framegen.
Went from 4-8 crashes within a few hours before the content update to absolutely nothing even after the patch.

I run AMD Ryzen 7 7800 8 core, 64gb ram with an RTX 4090. I did update drivers and nothing as well. I will do the removal of the high texture pack and the other items tomorrow when i get home from work. Thank you for trying to help me on this.

Its difficult and frustrating when your trying to troubleshoot.

Some mods can mess with your save files.

Go to your steam/userdata/<your_ID>/2246340 - save everything there to some backup folder and delete all that, see if game launches.

I was able to get the game to start up but now i have another issue, my surroundings are transparent or none existent, nothing is rendering at all lol.

if reinstalled completely, including deleting all the files from the game directory as uninstalling from steam leaves some files still doesnt work.

check your drivers, downgrade them, I am still surprised people are suggested to update drivers.

Both amd and nvidia latest drivers sucks for some gpu, some GPUs obviously can't downgrade to an older driver that didn't exist for them but still, downgrade it if you can, otherwise, hope for the next drivers to work.

It depends on what GPU you have the 50 series is having some issues (its way to new) and anything bellow the 4070 seems to be having issues aswell. Which is why you down grade the drivers or re-install them on a fresh install. The 40's series had a glitch in one of the updates that caused black screen on installation and you had to reboot.

Older cards than the 40 and 50 should be fine in some capacity
