Keeps crashing

[RelativeSure]

Every half hour the game crashes.
My specs are:

i7 6700k @ 4.3GHz
GTX Geforce 1060 6GB
16gb ram ddr4

[RelativeSure]

I have the latest drivers

[rgreen]

try to switch directx in the launcher, not sure it will do anything but worth a try. im running it just fine on dx11 with weaker hardware, 3770k,970,16gb

[PimpMaiAxe]

So Dx12 is the problem? I have ryzen 7 1700, 32gb ram and gtx 1080ti and it's still crashes.

try changing some settings in nvidia control panel, force a different aa for example. i had this issue , changing some settings in nvidia settings stopped crashes

If you turn off the Steam overlay it seems to help a lot, and also set the game to run fullscreen instead of Windowed. My machine was crashing every 10mins or so, but after changing these two settings it ran fine on DX12 for hours at a time afterwards. Also using the latest Nvidia drivers.

Same here, random black screen crash.
Fresh windows installation, every driver up to date
Ryzen 1600x
Gtx 1060
16gb ram.

Tryed:
dx11/12
Fullscreen/exclusive/windowed
Changed resolution
Changed plenty of quality setting.
Nothing fixed

i crash a lot as well 5930 o/c to 4gigs, 16 gig 2800 mhz ram, 12 gig titan. I cannot actually run the game for longer than 10 minutes before it crashes. I've done low settings through max settings used Dx 12 and 11. I cannot figure out whats happening.

[orpheus]

same here 627 hrs played freezes solid !!!!!!!!!!!!!! worse performance than usual , beleave it or not ?

[puppet74]

try older drivers, worked for me

[Mathalis]

all my issues were fixed when i went to windowed screen instead of full screen

[']['.N.'][']

I am having issues with crashing, i also have latest drivers too.
i5 7600k and 1050ti.

check your swap file and free space on system disk. Swap should be enabled and set by system, also your system disk should have enough free space. no crashes after this. I'm seriously, this works

I've been running it on my eight year old GTX 580 (variety with 3GB ram). Game runs smooth, looks grate, plays grate, no stutter or problems of any kind except one. It has about a one in five chance of crashing during dialogue scenes. When it dose the whole system resets, almost like its overheated, but its not that.

I've tried turning different settings up or down, on or off with no effect what so ever. in fact it almost seems like the game goes longer without a crash with settings set higher. At first I thought it might be running out of VRam but I've confirmed that is not the case. I ran some software to track my system temperatures and virtual memory usage on one of my auxiliary monitors while playing.

My GPU never goes above 80c and the Video memory usage with textures set to medium and everything else high dances between 1.5 and 2.1GB.

At this point I am wondering if its not in fact anything to do with the GPU. I mean it probably is the GPU for any one running the game on a card with less then 2GB of VRam, because the game genuinely dose use a lot of it. But if you have more then that and your running on medium textures at 1920 by 1080 like I am, then lowering your settings any more isn't going to help. At least it hasn't for me.

I think it might be a related issue sound issue. The GPU seems to be doing just fine, and the only other thing that dose anything different during a an NPC interaction (which is when it crashes for me) is the sound card, which I am guessing uses a separate channel to play the NPCs lines.

If the issue were a memory leek then I would expect to see the game crash after a set amount of time doing the same sorts of things, but it doesn't do that, it only crashes during dialogue for me, and it could be five seconds after I load a save and speak to some one, or two hours in when I speak to some one.

If the issue were that something was overheating then one of my sensors somewhere should be picking up a component at or above 100c, but that inst happening. The issue isn't OS or drivers either, I've tried newer drivers, older drivers, Windows 10 and Windows 7. (I have two PCs with almost identical hardware running each OS).

The Problem also isn't SLI. That 580 I mentioned? I have three of them, and I have tried using One, two and three. BTW the game runs grate on one, no need for the others.

Ok that all I've got maybe some one else who has been trying to figure will have more success.

Dude...necro much? This game was busted as ♥♥♥♥ when it released. Now more than a year later and multiple patches they fixed it. Dear god man, let this thread die...

Use DX11 instead of 12. That solved the crashing for me. Playing on Ultra.
