Constant "random" crashes

[Elias Auxilibus]

Been playing co-op with 1 person. Ever since we got far enough to physically get to the dark lens and see the fleshy growth covering a door I, as host, have started to experience frequent random crashes that can happen any time, anywhere, in the game. This only started happening like 2 hours ago.

Anyone else have a recent problem with constant crashes? I haven't encountered a single crash until now.

I had the same as host, so long as I used any form of elemental weapon (shock, fire etc) it crashed in combat fairly easy. Its fixed now from the remove ray-trace fix in the forums somewhere, so try that and hopefully itll fix.

I can't remember where the engine.ini file was other than in C:users/appdata/local/abiotic (i think?). Place this at the top of the engine file -
[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.Nanite.MaxPixelsPerEdge=4
r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.RadianceCache.ProbeResolution=16
r.Lumen.DiffuseIndirect.Allow=0
r.Lumen.Reflections.Allow=0
r.Water.SingleLayer.Reflection=0
r.VolumetricCloud=0
r.VolumetricFog=0

It fixes most of the fatal error crashes in combat, and it seems to fix a lot of loading hitches.

I'll definitely have to take a look into this! Thank you!

I've been having constant crashes since the game launch. None of the patches have changed it. Same Fatal Error message. I've reported in twice through Google Docs and attached a bunch of the crash logs, but no response from the devs. ....yet?

I looked at a coffee machine and my entire PC locked up and required a hard reset....then I re tried and picked up a porkchop and game controls locked up but I was able to manually close the game this time. Might refund and wait a bit to get back to this one.

The heck is going on with your PC?

Crashing on the most basic of things? Do you come close to meeting the required PC specs for the game? Have you updated everything that needs to be updated, Windows OS, Graphics Drivers, etc?

I just had a fatal crash while cooking some rumps LOL My entire PC crashed out and I thought it had died :O

The usual culprit for my problems is a graphics card update that I've missed the pop up for. It was in fact an update from 4 days ago. Quick update and it's all good to go now.

had a blue screen of death because i opened storage, also when i press sort it doesnt do anything and some ui is missing (like the repair icon)

I'm getting tons of crashes as well, even with the fix listed above. Usually upon breaking an item or taking something from a container. Drivers are up to date.

I always crash on the way into the main Lift room from DIRAC containment. I also crash every time I try to enter the upper cascade labs from the office sector shortcut.

DX11 instead of DX12 seems to have fixed it for me, at least for now.

[Tom Bready]

same, it crashes on very random stuff

[RAFk4zze]

same here, it crashes every few minutes in co op. single player works fine

Intel cpu? Probably related to the 13th gen intel issues. I had the same issues, but the latest bios update containing the newest Intel microcode fixed it! So try a bios update and make sure to reset all Bios settings.

I undervolted my GPU because I didn't my fans sounded way too horrible.
After that the game occaisionally crashed and shut down my PC.
Then I manually undervoted my GPU little bit more. Still crashed.
Then I used the default GPUT settings again. No more crashes.
This game seems to be unstable when you do undervolting....
