Constant crashing.

[DireAct]

running this game on a i9 13900k with a 4070 TI and 32gigs of DDR5.

Tried everything from low graphics, no RT to running as administrator, verifying integrity of files and compatibility mode windows 8.

Nothing works for me, I cannot play more than 5 minutes and can barely get away from the first place you get to in the main quest after the tutorial.

Unfortunate I really wanted to enjoy this game but it doesn't seem like I can yet.

Try turning off Hardware lumen I'm not sure if that's the same thing as Ray tracing

Have a 13,600k and a 4090 and the only time I crash is when spells are being cast and I have Hardware Lumen on for the most part sometimes it will randomly crash loading a save but not often..

These system tweaks also helped with my stability

GPU driver update could help.

You could also try to let the game "detect" the graphic settings in the options (don't be in-game, be in the menu always when you change graphic settings)

If that doesn't help you could try mods.

If that doesn't help I don't know either, I have some crashes here and there too, like the good ol' Oblivion.

When do you crashes occur most of the time?

If you update your gpu driver make sure to delete and recompile your shader cache or you will have even worse issues.

Any mods installed?

I had similar crashes with Unreal engine games and my i9 13900k with 4090. It was maddening. Happened in any Unreal 5 engine game. I did a ton of research to find the solution. It had to do with the motherboard makers overclocking the chips at default. This is a well documented problem with the Intel chips in the 12/13/14 series. You have to set it BACK to intel defaults, which respects Intel's max voltages. In my case Asus was the culprit. Unfortunately I ran the chip at Asus volts for a year, which has undoubtedly degraded the chip. You have to have your chip ID number off the damn original heatsink package (long tossed) to get a replacement from Intel. I decided to go with the hardware gurus fixes. You must lock your cores at a lower multiplier, and use Intel's default voltages. Now no more crashes. Oh, BTW, the microcode updates from Intel were garbage.

Good luck. This drove me absolutely nuts until I applied the fixes,

I tried it, but still crashes after like 2-3 minutes of playing.

I have fully updated my GPU and have done the detect graphical setting, along with even lowering graphics all the way down. I'll have to try other mods if there are some, but it's usually after 2-3 minutes of playing, and it's always in the open world, it won't crash when in dungeons/homes etc.

I've done this and it still crashes after the same amount of playtime.

No Mods as of yet, I tried one but took it out when it was not helping the crashes.

I did everything in the video and still crashes. I have played other games that utilize the UE5 engine, like Expedition 33 and Silent Hill 2 Remake with 0 crashes at all. So not entirely sure what is happening. I don't get BSOD's because I heard about the issues of this CPU, luckily I found out what to do to make sure no degrading happens.
