CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

[LexoRavi]

I was wondering if anyone else has been getting PC crashes with this game with this game with CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT as a response?

I have:
12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900KF
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

I can run modern games just fine. I have been playing Marvel Rivals and Pirate Yakuza without any PC crashes, its just Monster Hunter. Viewing the threads and it feels like this one hasnt been documented

reset bios settings to default. hoping maybe there was some random memory or cpu setting ticked and gonna give it another go.

Holy ♥♥♥♥ I have a 12900k and a 5080 I have 50hrs on the game never had one issue ever I play many other games on maxed out settings never had that problem but now I can’t even play wilds for more then 30 mins without the watchdog code this is so annoying

try recompiling shaders (delete shader.cache and shader.cache2 from monhun folder) and updating your chipset driver from your motherboard manufacturer. Those are the two most likely solutions.

Also, turning on resizable BAR in your bios helps tremendously. ^^'' This is good for you too Crusty.

Another thing to be aware of is that REEngine uses AVX-512 instructions, and intel 12th gen and beyond dropped support for it. It needs to be emulated in these cases, which might lead to performance issues and crashes. AMD still fully supports the instruction set.

Have a same problem after the update. Man this suck

I will try clear cache tyvm.
Read every reply I think it might have to do with intel 12th gen bcoz I have i7 12700kf never have this problem before update and play every other game just fine.

I am trying DDU instructions now. It was mentioned that REEngine using AVX-512 instructions may cause issues and crashes but I havent had performance issues/crashes with Resident Evil 4 or Street Fighter 6 so Im hesitant to point a finger at the engine

i9-12900KF

What's your mobo...

Bet it's overclocked automatically depedening on the mobo.
If it's an Asus mobo it's overclocked.

Post your CPU-Z screenshot.

Edit here's mine for an example:

Yeah I am having this issue as well with a 12900K and a 3080ti

People have said in Reddit posts that it is attributed to Undervolting the GPU and possibly Overclocking

I set my card to "default" settings and I think it helped a bit but still this is absolutely horrible as it started happening basically after I beat the Black Octopus boss

I only get this error if my CPU is pushed to 5.1+ ghz in this game. Only game that causes it. Overclock CPU issue more than likely. Use your bios and enforce tighter timings, disable "Easy" and reduce "AI overclocking" if you have asus.

Check your mobo manufacturer on how to properly do this.

While you are there make sure your memory is at the correct XMP profile.

Here is mine. I was not aware of any motherboards that came overclocked

It's either an issue with an overclock or you're having issues when your CPU is powering up or powering down with large swings between clock speeds. Could also be C State settings in bios or even power settings in the PC itself.

Regardless it's an issue relating to the CPU, particularly with voltage/power. You may want to disable C States in bios and set your PC to maximum performance for a bit and see if it keeps up. Also try removing the power cable to your PSU and allowing 2-5 minutes before plugging it back in and restarting the pc.

That's not the cpu tab go one left... tab that says CPU.

Also your mobo does have automatic overclocking.

Depending on your XMP and BIOS setting it can auto apply them.

Did you update your Mobo bios? https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z690-EDGE-WIFI-DDR4/support

Make sure the bios is updated.

[JudgeTy]

Your bios is out of date by 2-3 years BTW. Says it in the imgur link you posted.

Update your bios, Bet it fixes the watchdog timer issue.

Your BIOS is 15 updates behind including P state and microcode fixes (literally watchdog issues)

[LexoRavi]

oh ♥♥♥♥ ty I'll update it immediately

my apologies I thought you wanted my motherboard because you were talking about motherboard overclocking

Coming back to give an update. Just updated the bios and gonna give another run at it. Will post again once crash happens
