Crashing during opening fight

[jalderson_1982]

I'm haivng a really wierd issue where this game is crashing at the same spot every time I try to play and when the game becomes non-responsive and ends, powerpoint has opened in the background.#

It's always during the opening Irtit and Phoenix fight, after the part where you're semi in control the first time, then the cut scene of them falling, the camera is zoomed out, then it goes back zoomed in, and crash. Wait for the PC to recognise the game is no longer responsive, and Powerpoint has opened. Every. Single. Time.

I have a RTX3080 and an AMD AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with 32gb RAM and the game is running from an M2 SSD.

mine freezes at the exact same spot, though for me powerpoint doesn't open. but it's in precisely the same spot as you!

Thats its the only part with stutter for me, but never a crash.
I hope it's just a demo issue and it will be fixed for the final game.
Otherwise the game runs perfectly for me.

This is literally doing the EXACT same thing to me at the same part! During the first fight after they get out of the cave part and it gets to the cut scene of them falling. Has anyone found a solution to this? I have a 3080ti

want to add also that i've never had any issues with any other game, ever. and i even put all the graphic settings as low as possible for ff16..

Same here, the flaming chicken and what i can guess behemoth tackle fight falling down some stone pillars and then game stutters itself to death.

Anyone find a fix for this? Or am I returning this game?
