A possible reason for crashes and freezes

[pixelr]

In my case, I got rid of crashes and endless freezes by realizing that I have frame generation and Vsync both on (AMD). The two don't play well together, turning vsync off stabilized my game in the past few hours. May or may not help your in case.

Thanks but messing around with a bunch of settings isn't going to fix this trainwreck of a remaster. You either have a 3080ti+ or you don't lol.

I always run V-syn with frame gen to eliminate screen tearing, that the two are mutually exclusive is a myth. Every game I use frame gen I force v-sync on in nvidia control panel and never is it an issue. nor is it here, zero crashes when using both. The performance issues here are strictly poor optimization and un fixable without a patch.

YMMV. It helped me.

My game ran decently until 16 hours in and now when I load a save I cant go two steps without freezing.... I dont know what to do....

Got a 2080 and nothing has made it playable to a desirable standard. Its just unreal engine 5 bullshite.

I have AMD and i am having major issues with crashes and jerky stuttering (the longer I play the worse it gets) - I dont think I have Vsync on - I have the AMD Radeon RX 7600S and the performance blows :-(

I'm on AMD i've had no crashes.

Having this exact same issue if anyone has a fix for this

Some settings tips I've also applied:
- even if CPU/GPU are high-end, don't use Ultra settings, Digital Foundry checked and difference between Ultra and High settings can not really be seen, so minor, but High settings get rid of some stutters (HW Lumen at Low gives also performance boost, making almost no visible sacrifice to lighting)
- Nexus has some performance mods which basically tweak Unreal Engine's engine.ini values to make more sense and get rid of some stutters

It seems to me that the more you stress UE5 in this game, the more possibilities there are for problems with bridging between UE and Gamebryo engine (the old engine responsible for game logic and world streaming under UE).

I got about 40 hours in before I started having this issue. I can't get past the loading screen before it will freeze at times.

Same problem, again, first time, switching to a other quest helped, but now I cant get to run again.

My issue is the game seems to freeze after about 5 - 10 minutes of playing then I have to force close it and reload my save to continue. I am getting so sick of having to spam quicksaves just to make small bits of progress. Feels like I spend more time reopening the game than I do playing.

FWIW I’ve only ever finished a couple of Bethesda games. Eventually they just start freezing crashing to the point of unplayability. I’d love a fix for this.

Bethesda does a good line in selling the sizzle, but the steak is invariably garbage. After a certain number of saves the malformed DNA holding it together seems to collapse under its own weight.

Ha. Load freeze as I’m typing this.
