Game Crashes Every 10 - 15 Minutes

[DwarfKhan]

Hello,
I am getting frequent crashes. Took 3 tries to get through the tutorial. Have not been able to finish a mission due to crashes. The game seems to be running fine with good frame rate, then suddenly freezes and crashes. The error report dialogue doesn't give me any error code or crash log. Doesn't seem to be triggered by any particular action or event in game. One of the times it actually blue screened my computer.

Things I have tried so far:
Disabled steam input.
Disabled cross play.
Run as administrator.
Turned all graphics settings to lowest, reduced resolution, frame rate capped at 60.
Updated windows, updated NVIDIA drivers, updated BIOS.

My setup is windows 10, i7-4790 CPU, NVIDIA 1080ti GPU, Asus ROG Maximus vii Hero motherboard, 32 gigs RAM.
I realize my hardware is a bit outdated but I figured I should be able to run it on low settings. Anyone else having this issue? Any help would be great!

I've heard that you have to force nvidia to use your graphics card for physx (go to nvidia control panel -> configure sound, physx, and under processor select your graphics card instead of auto-select. Might help.

hello hope this help.. disable all in game overlay (steam,adrenalin amd,etc), disable unused services (msconfig), if you using modified app audio disable it. Set gpu to default, cap your fps, fullscreen, vsync on, run on administator.
this game using dx12 you need a very stable cpu and ram when running this game.. close all app when playing this game.. check tour task manager..

I just finished a challenging mission, and it booted me out at extraction. So sad! Please fix server issues!

Yeah this is annoying, was knee deep in a mission and game just crashes.

I followed this suggestion and was able to play 2 missions before it crashed again. Seems to have helped? hard to tell for sure.

This seems to have helped as well. Time between crashes is long enough to complete a mission or two now.

I am experiencing problems after finishing a mission. I can see the experience gained, but, after that the screen goes black and the GPU (RTX 3060TI) shuts down until I restart the PC.
I have every settings in low, and the temperature never crosses the 89º safety line.

With my build I can play other graphical demanding games like BF2042 without problems.

They're too busy zeroing all progress in the major order manually to worry about game ruining bugs.

Update, seems like I just got lucky earlier. Even after following all suggestions game still crashes quite frequently. Just got booted out of two missions in a row.
