I don't want to push my luck and I hope you guys get your game working but I haven't had any problems yet with a 4060 and a ryzen 7 5700x and 32gb - on an SSD.

Nope. But then again i newer use the "game ready" beta drivers. I stick to the well tested Studio ones.
Game runs smooth and not one single issue.

There are many reports about crashes, i remember that the first game had exactly the same problem at release. It was one of the games i could never really play because of this.
I gave a refund now to steam and wait a while till everything is fixed, dont want to waste 60 euros again. It seems a poor month for pc gamers, dragons dogma2 a disaster and this seems buggy too.

Is it the GPU driver causing the crashes, or is the driver failing because of something else in the system?
I've seen many reports of players with 13900k and such having crashing issues. For what it's worth, I've had no crashes after (only) 10 hours. On 5800X3d and a 4070ti, 551.86 driver. Running the game @high settings @1440p. Curious to see what the CPU's of those that are troubled by crashes are.

No crashes at all as yet. (Ryzen 3600 & RX 6600 XT; graphics driver is Mesa 24.0.)

Have the same problem with a GTX-1070 driver ver 551.86. it will randomly crash 30-3 hours of play.

WHEA Fatal Hardware Failure / driver detected a controller error on /Device/RaidPort3

I've been fighting with this issue all day now, I have HFW installed on a Western Digital SN850X Black 4TB NVMe that is roughly 6 months old with very low write count. It's maybe 65% full. I am not having this issue with any other titles on this drive, Cyberpunk 2077 is on this drive, has DLSS 3.0 Frame Gen. I surmise that the issue is related to Direct Storage, a Windows 11 exclusive feature. Forbidden West will run for maybe 30-45 minutes before something triggers a CTD accompanied with this WHEA error. I clean re-installed the display driver to rule that out. No other game does this, this game has some new Direct Storage feature, it's nuking the drive that it's on causing this problem.

I'm on Windows 10 with the latest updates. Disk drive doesn't exceed 55c. I believe this is a serious bug related to the Direct Storage feature affecting Windows 10 machines but no-one else seems to be complaining about it yet.

copy pasted from the internet. this was a fix for this error found 2 years ago and still works today. this was from another game i played. btw i set my values to 10
TL;DR Workaround

Do the following trickery on your machine:

Create a system restore point. Read the manual or watch a YouTube video on how to do this.
Launch the registry editor by holding Windows Key + R and typing in regedit.exe.
Navigate to the path: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
In the right pane, right click and select New -> DWORD (32-Bit) Value
Enter the following for the name: TdrDelay
Right click on the new entry and choose Modify.
In the Value Data field, enter 60 and choose OK.
Repeat steps 4-7, but for the second key name enter: TdrDdiDelay
Verify that you now have TWO keys, shown exactly as I've provided them above, and they are both set to 60. You should have TdrDelay and TdrDdiDelay and they should both be be set to 60. Once you have verified your changes, reboot your computer.

The values that I'm suggesting people try changing are:

TdrDelay: The time, in seconds, that the GPU can delay a preemption request from the GPU Scheduler. The default value is 2 seconds. My suggestion is probably overkill at 60 seconds but it's what works for me.
TdrDdiDelay: Specifies the number of seconds that the operating system allows threads to leave the driver, after which the OS responds with a bug check of 0x116 VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE. The default value is 5 seconds and my suggestion of 60 is probably overkill but it's what works for me.

When I first launched the game, I received a message that my driver met the requirements, but updating to version 551.86 (RTX 3080) was recommended. I installed new drivers, the game worked, everything was OK. After restarting Windows, I had 15-20 FPS in all my games. Restoring the previous drivers, the games work OK, but each time I start Windows, the gaming performance was 15-20 FPS. Apparently the 551.86 driver installed something that broke Windows. Fortunately, after restoring the system to the state from 2 weeks ago, everything works OK. I do not recommend the drivers recommended by Horizon.

i am getting this often on a 3080
it makes the game hard to play

found out i got crashes every time when im using my storage box xD, i cant use my box anymore god this is driving me nuts

Steam just sent me a warning for being disrespectful. The game does not work. I don't understand why you release this abomination and don't expect people not to complain when it doesn't work. If it was free i would not complain and call the developers trash. But it doesn't work for ALOT of gamers. It crashes my pc at the shader loading screen and if i manage to get through that, it crashes during gameplay. You wait 2 years for game, then it comes out and now you have a to wait for a patch for a game you paid full price for.
