Crashing Fixed!
After a lot of tweaking and trying out different settings via advice, I found out that disabling frame generation in rtx settings fixed the crashing problem. I used to crash every 5-10 min, now I am in game for about 2hours and still no crash.

That's cool.

I rolled back drivers last week and I haven't crashed since then. Aside from one crash when exiting the game.

Hopefully the crashing will go away soon for all.

I have been doing the same, trying new commands and messing with settings to figure out how to stop crashing. I turned DLSS and Reflex off and havent crashed since. Ive played a solid 50+hours since then and no issue whatsoever.
So from my understanding its MAXED out setting + RTX options that cause the game to crash or just RTX options I dont exactly know.

Sounds like a power allocation issue. Not surprising from an Nv gpu.

Just the frame generation, I have DLSS on and its fine.

i did this since about 5 days post asa release, can confirm based on experience a lot of the major crashes are caused by frame gen

Same. Just needed to turn off the frame generation.

Dazkaz how do you turn off frame generation?

i cant load the game, how am i ment to turn offframe gen lol, well im ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Guess your graphics card is broken, so it's better to exchange it before the warranty expires! Then you'll get a new one!

I'll be replacing mine next week before the warranty runs out! Wildcard can then reimburse the graphics manufacturer for the costs!

The manufacturer of the graphics card should take care of it with the middleman and wildcard! I use my guarantee, it is not possible that the graphics card is broken! And it is better to get a new card before the guarantee has expired.

The costs for complaints etc. are ultimately Wildcard's fault!

Well, I'll exchange my graphics card before the 2-year warranty is over! So I'll get a new graphics card with a new 2-year warranty. Wildcard should reimburse the costs to the middleman and manufacturer! You can't be sure whether the graphics card is broken. So people exchange your cards and you will get new ones with a new 2 year guarantee
