Game still crashing on a 3080
I have a high end card. Why is this game still sometimes crashing randomly even with most of my settings nerfed and even ray tracing is off and DLSS is on performance? Fix your game please. Jeez. This is why I haven't been able to get into this game.

What exactly has a "high end card" to do with TW3 crashing? Are you implying, that older or low budget GPUs tend to crash more often than newer cards?
Quite the contrary. ^^
Ive owned several GPUs over the last couple years and I tend to play TW3 on every Christmas since 2015 (R9 290X, 1080TI, 2080, 6800XT, 6900XT, 3090TI and now 7900XTX), and it crashes and crashed regardless of my GPU.

TW3 seems to crash on occasion, much less without mods though. Like they say in Silicion Valley, its a feature, not a bug. ;)
I had playtroughs without a single crash and also some playtroughs with a crash every 4-5 hours.
Ive seen worse.

edit: A negligible sacrifice in order being able to play the greatest masterpiece in gaming history, isnt it. :)

what fps are you doing in 1440 resolution , max settings , no RT , DLSS quality in dx 12?

I just found out that changing foliage in user settings to double value takes 30 fps. (from 2.5 to 5, and changing number of shadows from 4 to 5)
I am trying to figure out what is normal fps range on dx 12 on max settings in that resolution. without RT

it does 90 fps at most on 3080 for me so how you got 144? dont tell me you 4k as well

Hey, same as you i have a 4070 Ti GPU and all the settings at ULTRA+ and it still crashed. For me the fix was just use DirectX 11 instead of 12, no more crashes after that. Hope it helps! Happy new year!
