Hmm....what happened?

[Tom Horn]

First off, love the game! Not here to whinge!! I fully accept it's work in progress and, compared to a lot of triple A games, it's nothing short of amazing in it's current state.

Game has been very well behaved for me until just a few days ago when I started to experience crashes (4 or 5 times now). Looked in the 'How to Solve Common Crashes' and my particular crash symptom doesn't seem to be there.

Seem's completely random, can't pin down any pattern to it.

Game will just immediately end, NO desktop, just a black screen with the monitor reporting 'no input' etc.

PC is still powered up and I have to hold down power button to get it to reboot (normal for my set up).

GPU and CPU temps max out to around mid to high 60's.

Nothing funky going on in bios or memory. Nothing in the windows 11 crash logs.

Windows 11
Ryzen 7 7800x3d @ 4.2Ghz
AMD RX 6800 XT (Driver 24.10.1)
32GB DDR5
M.2 drive

.....any thoughts?

Are you using HDMI, Display Port, etc?

I had an issue with cheaper DP cables. The lightest movement on them caused my monitors to black out with the "No Input" message. Bought some higher quality ones and it stopped.

this game although has gotten better with the recent frame gen update for nvidia users, it still seems that AMD gpu users are getting unique crash symptoms. My guess is that it is still a UE5 crash dump. In terms of performance on my 5800X3D/3070ti 32gb m.2 build i get 85-110fps in ultra graphics with DLSS quality and frame gen. The game itself though in regards to ai still feels very broken and UE5 is still having terrible memory leaks it just seems that recent UE5 updates have been working better on Nvidia GPUs. One last thing i forgot to add is i am on windows 10 pro so maybe its W11 which is also still broken lmao

Thanks guys.

Jonathan, I'm using display port but have only ever seen this issue when playing the game....never happens in any other application.

Some initial things I can think of are below, but the discord tech support channels are probably going to best way to look through more suggestions and get better guidance for whatever issue is going on if you are able to look there. https://discord.com/invite/grayzonewarfare

I would at least start off with installing the newest gpu drivers especially if you are having display cutout issues, 24.10.1 is a few months out of date. The crashing sticky has a link to instructions for using DDU to completely clear out old drivers before reinstalling new ones. You'll also want to make sure you are disconnected from the internet when reinstalling, as Windows update may try to automatically pick up some older driver after you restart. https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/graphics/radeon-rx/radeon-rx-6000-series/amd-radeon-rx-6800-xt.html

I'd also make sure you have the latest AMD chipset drivers installed as well, this should work for all of AM5 https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/chipsets/am5/x670e.html

You can check if Windows needs any file system repairs https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system-files-79aa86cb-ca52-166a-92a3-966e85d4094e

Any chance you're using Auto-HDR in Windows 11? It's been known to cause game crashing recently (maybe not GZW specifically, but others).

Do you know what frequency your RAM is running? Anything over 6000MT on those AM5 X3D chips doesn't really help performance and can harm stability. You can check with something like https://www.techpowerup.com/download/cpu-z/ Also can try disabling XMP/EXPO in BIOS to test if you're aware how to do that.

Brilliant Warmech, thank you!

After UE5 came out, there have only been problems with almost all games that have transitioned to it.
