Getting a graphics-based "circle jerk"

[JoShmooo]

I've followed through with all the pinned threads, visited the main website, and done my own research wherever possible. I have modified my client's graphical settings, changed my gpu settings, updated my gpu, and reverted to older gpu's.

I am not an expert all self-taught, but I can run Resident Evil 2 Re at near maximum settings without crashing.

There's something wrong with this game.

I recall trying to play again after a certain update, probably the rivals but my game immediately crashed after walking out of the starting room. I suspect that strange purple spray when the door opens is what's causing my issue here. After following through with a few threads and achieving no change. I thought the issue was my hardware.

I did a lot, including cleaning my GPU and applying new thermal paste. It wasn't until I decided to revert to older GPU firmware that anything changed. After going back, I was able to play a few games until an update happened. Suddenly I was crashing randomly at the start of a swarm, however it was more like a guaranteed crash. I would eventually crash mid-game at the start of a swarm roughly five to fifteen minutes in. This started happening after some update in December or November 2022.

Unfortunately I do not receive any kind of crash reports. That I'm certain has to do with my machine. I genuinely have no idea why my machine goes black with nothing to show for it.

As I continued to make adjustments. I ran into the error that crashes immediately after the loading screen. The one where we see an image of the Spacestation orbiting Hoxxes. I probably ran into other errors as well but I won't be able to recall any of that. Too stressed.

I slowly worked my way back up to the latest GPU firmware and I'm back to crashing at the purple spray again.

There's something wrong with this game.
Thank you for you time.

why don't people just start by posting the specs of the pc, the issues experienced, and the solutions/workarounds that they have tried?

all of these text, literally tells me nothing lol.

Still waiting for OP to dig up crash logs and windows logs

I'm just glad there's not a dozen people that know nothing of op's current system, or nothing of Deep Rock's system requirements telling OP he is GPU bottlenecked and needs a new GPU.

Far more likely he's CPU bottlenecked in a game like DRG.

I am not exactly sure whats your point but 99% of the time people like OP NEVER EVER share their hardware information

Which is an absolute killer for any kind of constructive feedback.

Also lets face it, people have no clue about computers and most likely gamers are one of the dumbest people infront of a computer monitor when it comes to maintaining their computer (they are a tad more competent than the your average uncle or aunt).

Last time I had performance issues in a game 50 other people had the same on the same spot with different hardware, here its literally "anything goes!".

My point is that I always see people spanning 'GPU bottleneck! GPU bottleneck!' anytime I see a thread where someone is mentioning they're having issues running the game, and I'm just glad I haven't seen anyone spamming that here.

Again, I think you are confusing GPU with CPU.

I'm not even sure what a "GPU bottleneck" would be since typically when someone describes a "bottleneck" in computer terms; they are referencing something that is holding the GPU itself back.

A CPU bottleneck however is extremely common, especially in DRG; since a lot of things in the game like pathfinding and particles can be bound by single core CPU performance.

You guys are seriously telling me you have never seen the people that claim every performance issue in a system ever is always a 'GPU bottleneck'. I don't think you guys are getting that I'm not saying I think there's a GPU bottleneck. I'm saying there's other people that always think that, and they're usually wrong.

No I get that, what I'm saying is I don't think I've ever seen anyone on the DRG forums say "GPU bottleneck" but rather "CPU bottleneck."

Yes, but many other forums are plagued with people that do use 'GPU bottleneck' as a catchall performance solution, so I was congratulating everyone on this forum for not falling for that.

Run any burn in suites while motoring clocks and temps?

As far as I can tell you are not even a beginner if you are using other games as a litmus test. Instead of repeatable synthetic tests.

You could also try DDUing your video drivers if no one brought that up yet.

I am a beginner, I'm just very thorough and I did my studies.

I'll have to look into DDUing. What exactly am I looking for?

CPU error? You might also see WHEA errors in event log if you were overclocking and you were doing it funny. Change these settings back if you know you did, then run Furmark and Prime95 and call us back.
Could also be low virtual RAM. Go to:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System
then click "Advanced System Settings," then click "Performance," then "Advanced." Might not want to do this on an SSD instead of a hard drive though.

guys we need da pc specs, no one can read minds here

This game is far more CPU intensive than GPU intensive, which CPU do you have?

Also, getting this diagnosis question out of the way first: What OS are you using? Windows 7 and older aren’t supported

I'm on Windows 10
I'm using a seventh gen, however this chip is literally too powerful for my MB. I have to underclock to avoid overheating.

You have messed with your CPU voltage and expect things to not crash ....

Return everything you did in the bios to the default settings and try again ....

Specs literally don't matter for DRG as long as your PC is less than 15 years old, it'll run on just about anything.
Here, look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs07aniVRZI
11 year old iGPU in a laptop CPU no less, just unplug your grafix card right now and save on electricity bills.

There's something wrong with my computer, I can run this game flawlessly on max settings with a computer from 2015. Game is not buggy enough, wtb OPs rig.
