Nvidia´s driver to blame?
I think all crashing and stuttering related to the game is the NVIDIA driver's to blame.
I never had any issue with this game util yesterday, then I upgraded to 576.02. My game started to stutter and crashed. Today I rolled back to 572.83 and all the problems were gone.

Yeah I'm refunding this game, I literally bought it earlier this morning, and it has non stop crashes to the desktop.
We shouldn't have to roll back drivers in order to run a game properly in 2025.
I've actually had the opposite with nvidias newest drivers.

The game is super stable now for me whereas on the past few releases it's been poor performance, system instability, game crashes, driver settings not applying correctly amongst others.

576.02 is a keeper for me.

Try verifying your files as your issues may actually be from corrupt files or needing a shader recompile.
I find that locking the game to 60fps removes all the stutter
Question: When your game crashes, does your whole computer restart? I’ve had some crashes accompanied by a loud noise from my power supply, and then the entire system restarts. Please tell me I’m not the only one experiencing this

I was on the last driver but it's fixed for the new driver.

The changelog does mention system instability on Windows 11 24h2 as one of many fixes in the newest drivers.

No crashes or hangs since I got the new driver.

That sounds like your PSU is tripping the over current protection. I would be wary of using it further until I had it go trough a power supply tester

Yeah the psu fan kicking in full rpm is a giveaway sign.

That's not driver related, it's not the behaviour you expect from even wonky drivers

It does this for me when playing on my laptop. It is not overheating GPU, CPU, RAM or SSD issue, it just simply crashes and then suffers something like a hard restart (beginning to worry about my lappy). I´ve tried:
-Setting specs to low
-Limiting to 60fps
-Turning off all Nvidia settings
-Turning off frame gen
-Undervolting CPU
-Lowering CPU frequency

It still crashes in both 576.02 and 576.83 for me.

Agreed, I have a 4070 and its been stable for me as well...
There is a lot of flicker in bright grass in 1080p DLAA native resolution. Is there a solution?Does this happen to you too?

I don't know what the issue is, but because i'm on an older Nvidia driver, i feel obliged to say i've not had a crash. Not a single one. I'm using 556.12 on an RTX 3090.

I didn't want to upgrade my driver for a while, because of all the blackscreen crash reports etc, so i tried the game with that, and it works. It gives a driver version warning at first start, but lets you click through it.

I was playing on release day and all last week no issues. Started playing yesterday and crashes like crazy... says driver problem, updated to 576.02 and now its even worse. No clue what broke but it's unbearable. I'm getting 4k 150fps super smooth while it runs... then it just stops running. Sent like 7 crash reports today already... hopefully this gets sorted out soon.
Try studio drivers. let me know how it works!
