Unable to play anymore

[greigy]

Following recent updates I cant play the game without it crashing after a minute or two. Anyone found a fix for this yet? - I can't be the only one...

Did you try the classic verify installed files?

[greigy]

verified, demodded, new save, reset graphics to low...

I've had some issues. A few crashes, after what I think may have been a corrupted Save file. Some memory issues, the kernel shutting down Steam once or twice. But I've got it relatively stable - touch wood - for now by (I think) turning off DLSS/FSR. I suspect there'll be a hotfix patch or two in the next wee while to calm things down again.

Ok, I've been bringing this issue up for over 2 weeks now.

All files verified (tried), full re-install all files not just uninstall (tried), driver updates all (tried), Settings adjustments (tried), clean no mods (tried). I even tried fixes suggested for earlier issues like the Nvidia-Vulkan issue, no dice.

This issue appears to have been introduced during beta and is still not fixed. only seems to effect some players. The issue is clearly on their end with certain pc build types. Not sure what the culprit is but then again i guess neither are they, or presumably they would have fixed it by now.

If anyone finds a work around i'd love to hear it, as this has locked me out of the basically half of the beta. Fingers crossed the fix it soon.

P.s had the game for years, never crashed, now 10 mins max - crash.

Could something (CPU most likely) be overheating?

[greigy]

doubtful that cpu would consistently only last about 1 minuute before overheating. I have tried the same start each time - fires of defeat. I get in the ship, get told its now my ship, then take the seat, hit the travel mode, then about 5sec later it crashes to desktop with a crash dialogue that flashes too fast to read.

it is generating crash dump files, but I'm not sure it is uploading them as it used to take a while on the odd time that it did crash previously

[greigy]

tried it on power saver scheme with lowered reasources, no diff other than loading time

Error messages in event viewer? What psu do you have?

If you can change out the psu to test, a weak/faulty psu will cause this when the gpu asks for more than it can give.

[azrael1379]

got the same problem, tried everything out: fresh installation, verifying files before game start, after crash (everything a-ok according to steam on that route) and even putting resolution into "dos-mode"
since my pc isn't exactly old (2 months more or less) and second monitor told neither GPU nor CPU exceeded 35° C overheating can't be the culprit here.

Posts like this are pointless. Without any info like event viewer errors or system specs etc. your not going to get anything other than guesses.

50 serie?

about as pointless: if no official moderator is asking for it this is just bragging in my eyes

[greigy]

so I had a look at the event logs, couldn't see anything. then cleared all events in all of the things, and opened x4.

It didn't crash. I have no idea why. I don't think there has been any update, and I have not had any windows or driver update, so I am confused as anything.

Then I remember I was playing helldivers2, which doesn't like my computer's resources at all, so I usually drop it down to power saving mode at 95% maximum processor state under processor power management of the advanced power options. So I checked and I was running in balanced mode, not power saver.

So jumping into event log again, there were errors with microsoft gaming services. but nothing else was coming up.

So I thought, well, lets try performance mode. Swapped to the scheme, then started x4. Seemed to go alright, then, BSOD.

microsoft gaming services had gone mental in the event log prior to BSOD, but unsure if that caused it. have removed it from computer, and will find out if that's an improvement...

Try running the game under linux. You can try a live usb version to see if there are any Microsoft issues with your PC.

If it's a memory issue grab MemTest86, right before going to bed boot from the usb stick and run the tests as it takes several hours depending oh how much memory you have. If you get any errors, you may have the wrong XMP profile for your memory, or one of the sticks of memory is bad (the test will tell you which slot is bad).
