[Just cause 3] What the cause of random crash after 15/10 minutes of playing

[ticreut29]

Hi, I played just cause 3 from 31 January to the beginning of February. I stop playing because the game crash after some minutes of gameplay, I had no Lag/stuttering/performance issue when I'm playing the game on a very high setting.
I use an Xbox one controller and I see any difference in ram consumption if I load the game and then plug my Xbox controller or I open the game with the Xbox controller and when I'm closing the game my ram gets back to normal, even if I open the game with my Xbox controller plugged.
So I conclude I have no memory leak issue, which is not the reason for the random game crash.
So I'm asking what is the reason the game crash?
I'm asking if the Vsync is the cause of the game crash since my Xbox one controller has any problem.
I was able to run Just Cause 4 without any crashes during the entire storyline with Vsync on and I want to know the reason for the random crash.

My computer specs
Graphics card: RTX 3070
Storage: SSD 1 GO
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
RAM: 16 GB of ram at 3200 MHz

I'm way above the recommendation of Just Cause 3 and have enough ram for running Just Cause 3 since 16 GB is the recommendation for the game.
Screen space reflection is enabled and my graphics are not an issue for my computer.

I saw some people having random crashes with Vsync in-game enable I also asking if fullscreen could be an issue?

Have a nice gaming everyone, I will greeting the person who helps me to fix the random crash issue I have during gameplay.

Update: I install MSI afterburner to see the performance in-game and try to launch the game without vsync, check if there was driver update.
I was able to play the game without random crash for 40 minutes until I close the game.
Most of people having random crash after 10/15/30 minutes of playing.
I do an another test with vsync enable on nvidia control panel and the screen frequency set at 60hz because I'm not able to have an constant 144fps, I know my computer can keep 60 fps on very high setting.
Same result with Nvidia vsync cap on 60 fps no game crash after playing almost 1 hour before an game crash occur after 10/15 minutes.
Also I've get rid from stutter in the map and the game is smooth in overall and the ram usage was at 3600mb to 3800mb usage.
I'm really surprise the in-game vsync was the cause of issue on my side and I will never use again vsync in just cause 3.
Maybe driver and windows version could be the reason too, but now I will be able to enjoy just cause 3.

Odd I have vsync on and have no such issues. Same on my old system. I can play for hours on end. I am also at 60hz though that is my monitor frequency's. I also do not get the stutter. The stutter is an odd one as some people do not get it and some do, even with identical looking hardware, I did not get the stutter on my older machine either.

Main Computer:
Cpu: Ryzen 3600
Gpu: GTX 1070ti
Mem: 3200Mhz 16gb ram.

Old computer
Cpu: Amd FX 8350.
Gpu: GTX 970.
Mem: 1666mhz 16gb ram.

I think it's possible high fps broke the physics and causing the crash after a few moments.
Since I have a high-frequency monitor.

That is a very good possibility. Now we just need to find someone else with med/high specs and a fast monitor too to test :) If they get the same issue, capping fps could be another fix. :)

In one of the messages in the just cause 3 on the steam general discussion.

Very often, the cause of chronic CTDs is v-sync enabled in-game. You can flip it on in the Nvidia control panel but don't use in-game v-sync.

For some reason after disabling Vsync in-game, the game stop crashing on my old game when before it would crash after some time, it's possible my driver was outdated and cause the game to crash as well because I update them and I've got any crashing issue on Just cause 4 and Just cause 3, even if I see people complaining about the game crash in Just cause 4.
