Crash to desktop (unplayable after Win11 24h2 Update) - beware

[Rippa]

Got SWO free from NVIDIA (bought new RTX Card) and this game is still unplayable. After the new Win11 Update it's not possible to stay in game for more than a few minutes.

Even Ubisoft is tracking that issue and has still no solution / update:

If you want to play, you hav to mod the game yourself (replace Direct3D rendering with Vulkan)

This is not acceptable for a AAA-Game regarding its price. I wish we had the good old times when games where functional when they were released, but this is the peak of ignorance of big game studios.

I have had desktop crashes since day one, I know I'm not the only one. Windows may have made it worse, but it's not just Windows' fault.

A month before I bought the avatar and I found that a year later they had not solved this same problem, I see little hope that they will solve this, a shame

Hello everyone

Really sorry to hear it that Star Wars Outlaws crashes on your PCs, especially with the latest version of Windows 11 24H2 installed on it.

Our teams are already aware of this issue resulting in more frequent crashes than the previous version - Windows 11 23H2 or Windows 10. They are working on finding the reason behind it and fixing it.

In the meantime, please feel free to generate diagnostic files on your PC and submit a support ticket with them attached.

Hello again everyone,

Please have a look at this post in another Windows 24H2 thread and see if this method helps you for now, until there is a permanent fix to the game crashing in the latest Windows 11 version.

This is the AMD X3D CPU specific solution that worked for me:

I experienced constant crashing after installing KB5041587 that implements the performance optimisations for X3D CPUs that are baked into Windows 11 24H2.

Randomly I deactivated the AMD 3D V-Cache Performance Optimization Service, because I don't need it with a single-CCX X3D CPU. The crashing stopped instantly.

To confirm I reactivated it: Crashing.
Deactivated it again: No crashing.

relax, did you read thoroughly about update note

They've been promising that they're working on it for 2 months now. The only glimmer of hope I have that they'll finally fix it by 11/21 is the fact that they have to know that they will see a flood of refunds if it is released on Steam in it's current broken state.

welp looks like it's still busted.
