FfX2 crashing constantly.

[Ace]

Drivers up to date. File integ verified. Any tips/fixes?

System?
Mods?
Any commonalities to the crashes?

System is plenty strong enough. 32 gigs of ram, 2080 super, i78700k It's nothing with the system these are crashes that have been happening to tons of other people but the only "fix" I'd seen was for 4GB cards and my super is an 8GB model with the most up to date drivers.

No mods whatsoever. Fresh install, verified integrety, still getting crashes left and right. Sometimes in battle, sometimes in the map screen, sometimes when I'm just walking around, sometimes in the creature creator menu. It's probably just that this is a crappy port TBH.

No commonalities, it's just a hard freeze for about 2-3 seconds and then the game crashes to desktop, no popups, no error logs, nothing.

Tried toggling V-sync to on, tried lowering shadow resolutions to medium, tried setting dressphere animations to short so the game had less to "load".

I mean, I know it's nothing to do with storage. It's on an M.2 SSD xD

When exactly does the game crash and freeze, always in the same place or randomly?

Another thing you could try is deactivating the Steam overlay for the game and giving ffx.exe, ffx-2.exe administrator mode.

Maybe that will help.

It is not about if it is strong enough, but what system it is in general. There are known issues and even more often people just come and complain and then they play a modded version on a bootlegged handheld from 10 years ago.

m2 is not magic either. this game does not have any general problem with storage-media.


A thing that caused problems for people were having other USB-connected controllers than the currently used controls, or flaky internet or using wifi (yeah - however that works but for many people disconnecting from wifi helped).
Also have you checked if the game is maybe running on the iGPU instead of the nvidia card?

I have never seen any posts about that... are you... maybe they were talking about the 4GB Patch - which got absolutely NOTHING to do with the amount of VRam your card has? Cause that IS a tool that is known to help. In general UnX is recomended just for the inclusion of that. (but for some people UnX had worsent stability in X-2)
If you are playing on Linux there also appears to be a proton-setting that can help.

And you could always look at the crash.log

try using the 4gb patch it should help with your issue it patches the games exe file to allow the use of 4gb of memory rather than only 2gb. i could not play more than 5 minutes without a crash i used this and haven't had a single crash since. hope it helps

Can confirm this works. For both X and X-2

EDIT: Nvm, X-2 still crashes, normally at the start of a battle.
