Any way stop the crashing?
It is putting me off playing the game & pushing me towards a refund at this point. Is there a way to stop the game just shutting down at random

It has something to do with the Nvidia app, they mentioned how to fix that here

I am not sure but probably not.
Infinite Wealth had the same random crashs and some of the issues it had are still here so... I guess they don't care.

I tried a few things like disabling/lowering some options and update everything on my computer but honestly I didn't really believe it would fix anything because my PC never crashes in games normally (I've seen it even crash on PS5s), it's just that they coded the game with their feet. Since Like a Dragon they took the same path as Assassin's Creed at the time, releasing a buggy game with no improvements per year to make easy money from the actual popularity of the license. I know I'm part of the problem, I bought it cuz I loved 1-6 but damn that's a shame.

This is supposed to fix issues with DLSS being unusable if nvidia App is installed. Unfortunately I noticed crashes even without DLSS or Frame Gen enabled. :/

They said to play without DLSS or DLSS frame generation while they're trying to fix it.

I wasn't using FG anyway but I was using DLAA. I will try turning that off

I've had three crashes so far before I saw this, went to turn off DLSS, turned out I had upscaling off the whole time, so this can't be the source of the issue.
I was crashing every 40~ minutes yesterday. Put it into Fullscreen on a suggestion I saw in a post. No crashes so far, after a few hours.

I will try that. The crashes make me paranoid and sour my enjoyment. I wish I could just play for hours with no worries but now I'm saving every time I as much as pick a cigarette butt off the ground. Hope they fix it.

Game crashes at the most random screens, I already turned dlss off and I've had 3 crashes in the span of 6 hours.
Pretty much the same case for me. DLSS only really works when it feels like it so I've been keeping it off and the crashes are incredibly random. I don't use Frame gen either, but it always CTD when I try too turn it on so couldn't even use it if I wanted.

One thing I've kinda noticed that my crashes are more frequent if I change locations a lot. Doing tons of side stuff in Honolulu I was able too play for around 4 hours before a crash, but jumping around actually using my ship and doing island expeditions and going to Madlantis I had a crash within and hour.

Really lean into thinking it could be some sort of memory leak, but who knows at this point.

Unfortunately, it still crash even in full screen...
Crashes are more frequent in Hawaii than anywhere else for me, but it just happened in the open sea right now while I was going for a lighthouse. No errors, no freeze, no lags, it just closed. ♥♥♥♥ game. :ALcryingemoji:
I fixed the crashes by adding an exception for the Like a Dragon folder in Windows Defender
Running smooth as butter on ultra but crashing every hour or so.

Tried adjusting the settings, full screen, fps limit to 60, etc etc. Still crashes.

Disabled the Nividia app. Still crashes.

Turned a ton of the settings down, still crashes.

I said okay, whatever. I'll just push through and save often.

I get to Hawaii and just keep playing... and playing.. and then it hits me.

I... haven't crashed??

I play for around 3-4 hours and not a single crash. I figure okay great! Whatever it is is gone now.

Then I progress to a point where I'm back at sea, play for about an hour and then... crash.

Its the ship. Its something to do with the ship. I'm sure of it.

For me at least the game ONLY seems to crash in instances where the ship is around. At sea, Madlantis, Rich island. Yet it wont crash at all in Hawaii.
