Friend killed Gravios and the game died.

[Picklefather Nurgle]

A friend of mine just killed Gravios on the Succulent Whatever-the-name-is quest, and after talking to Gemma his game now refuses to load in properly.

He can't talk to NPCs like Alma because she's not rendered and loaded in properly.

The game also just started performing terribly the moment he tried to preview the Gravios armor.

Fix this frigging game.

1. Have him restart his PC, it sounds like the game isn't loading due to a VRAM issue.
2. Have him verify his files (it could be something got corrupted somewhere, somehow).
3. Get him some funds, help him upgrade or replace his machine.

4... Wait until the Developers devote time to optimizing the game for the thousands of variations of computers, parts and mix-and-matched PCs out there, spanning at least the last 5 years... And that'll take some time.

His PC is state of the art, which is the type of build developers usually test these games on.
The game is just absolutely awfully optimized. He's showing me what his screen looks like with screen-sharing software, and it literally prevents him from moving with invisible walls because the maps don't load.

Your friend plays on a PS5 SDK?

Your friend plays on a PS5 SDK?

4090, 8-core processor, 32 GB of RAM.

[erogg]

That's not state of the art. However, I'm sure the problems he's encountering are nothing to do with system requirements.

I do believe the latest graphics card, along with more ram than even bigger games will ever use, coupled with a multi-threaded processor qualifies for the label.

Is it the most powerful? No, but it has the best and most efficient parts that are currently commercially available. But pop off, queen. Whatever floats thy boat.

And yeah, his Memory and Processor usage was nowhere near max when the game was running like garbage.

Only 8 cores though? A piddling 32 GB of ram?

An 4090 rather than a 5090?

Let's get technical here. State of the art would be the rigs developers are using to make the games. I believe they have access to graphics cards etc that aren't yet commercially available.

Damn. Can't read but somehow can type. Tis cray cray.

Ask your friend to post a dxdiag log and let other tech-savvy user viewing it. Pastebin is a nice place to use. None of those spec and brand are telling much how your friend PC is setup, and in what environment situation that it is in. Other people with same setup or known what is conflicting software/driver might pop up provide you a real fix.

It might turn out that your friend still in PCI 3.0 with a low end SSD and some other problematic user error overlook stuff. Anything is possible unless showing concrete log info.
Not posting is fine, people will just skip it as nothing can be done to help.

Have them share a DxDiag report if they want advice. No DxDiag report, no case.
