Game crashing mid round

[Chemical_Chef]

Is someone else experiencing that the game is crashing in a round?

[Frizz]

yep

[Exu9x]

yea

[Habits]

any fix ? my friend got this problem too.

[Chemical_Chef]

I have no fix atm. I will try changing dx12 to dx11 next time I play

[_Atr4Mør5]

No. Cuz it's your HW or SW problem. The game is polished as f.
Turn off XMP/EXPO first of all

[meno se$h]

yea, always crash when i have to choose the cards and unfreeze when the round starts lol

Overheating?
Worng curve in MSI Afterburner for GPU?
Negative Curve for CPU?

I don't MSI Afterburner, I haven't overclocked my GPU or CPU and I'm not using any curves. What I still did is deactivating the internal graficscards from ryzen CPU

Your crash is like the game just closed or whole PC getting blackscreen/bsod/reset/shutdown?

The game freezes and insta closes and I'm on the desktop. I had two crashes where the game was frozen for like 30 seconds and then a game crash error reporting window came. One time I had an amd display driver timeout with reset to default and on another crash I had HDaudSys or similar error. For any other crash I have no logs in the event viewer.

In CS2 I get heavy game freezes where I can sometimes hear the ingame audio and the game won't close after several minutes. tabbing in and out is resulting in a black screen from the game window.
But my pc is working when a crash/freeze is happening, it never shut down or got any bluescreens from a game crash/hang. I was always able to open the taskmanager and close/restart the game directly after it happens.

I don't know what it is but I get the feeling my 7900XTX is cooked or the amd drivers are still not good

I had almost the same thing in past, blackscreen, but with full freeze after 20sec, i was be able to hear ingame sound for a ~20 sec and then complete freeze and only power button could help. It was PSU, to be more precise connection from PSU to GPU. It was semi-modular PSU (like this one https://i.imgur.com/uN9Dr93.jpeg).
As you may know, there is a common braid with wires. In this common braid was a PCI-E x6+2 Power Connector which I used by plugging it into the GPU, which was mistake and led to the above problem. Prolly cuz it was poor quality PSU.

It was necessary to power the GPU directly from each individual PCI-E module connector on the PSU itself.

First of all if you had the same semi-modular PSU, I recommend you to check that your GPU connected via individual connectors. Also be sure that your PSU is enough for your GPU. 7900XTX takes about 355W. According to the Igor's Lab test 7900XTX also takes over 500W by short spikes, which is OK, but, you need at least 750W PSU.

You also can try to set power limit for your GPU via MSI Afterburner or maybe even in AMD Adrenaline Software (as far as i know you could), you also can set FPS limit for 60 in game settings which will lead to lower power draw. And if in this case everything will be stable then your problem is in PSU or Connection/Connectors. You can just play in TDM/FFA for testing.

But of course your problem could be something else. New hardware behaves too unpredictably and with strange symptoms.

I have an Corsair 1000W Shift series gold PSU with corsair Premium cables and individual connectors, it's full modular PSU aswell. It is fine I have no PSU problems

What else can I say? I guess the options aren't very comforting.

Basically by that description it could be anything, it could still be the power supply, a problem with the GPU itself, a problem with the motherboard, etc, especially considering all the other people's situations. On one cool HW-channel on YouTube, I also saw something similar due to a person over-tightening the screws when screwing the cooling heatsink to the GPU board and damaging the PCB varnish.
So. it could really be anything.

Have you asked on reddit at r/pcmasterrace about your problem?

I think you'd hear roughly the same thing though. Of the cheap options it's just another computer and flip different parts of the PC one at a time until the problem manifests itself.
And it's going to be long and painful.

I hope you get your problem sorted out sooner rather than later. GL.

DX11 is stable. There is a memory leak as more you play the rounds. Just make sure you restart the game every 3-5 matches or so. Keep your eye on the memory, keep it open as you play so you can calculate when to restart it or not.

I play on Linux.
