First Zorah Magdaros story quest freeze at second magma core

[D'Artagnan]

I've just restart the game on my new PC after 780h on ps4.
At the first story quest of Zorah Magdaros, each time the second magma core attack the game freeze completely. I can't get back to desktop or force to close game

Does anyone know how to fix it ?

same thing happens to me, cant progress the main story since the game constantly crashes after destroying 2 or 3 magma cores of zorah magdaros

I had this yesterday, my only crash but it repeated on the second magma core. Error was "ERR12: Graphics device crashed"
Changing MHW to DX11 fixed it for me and I have not crashed since

Using AMD 7900XT if that helps

did you missed the amd driver drama?

I have a RX 6650xt and MH World for me has crashed a few times in the past, especially with DX12 on. After downloading the lastest driver update, I basically can't play the game either in DX11 or DX12 since it crashes. Anyone with AMD GPUs having similar issues?

i have the same problem too with err 12 right?

I just started having the same issue yesterday, and that was before I updated my graphics driver.

Edit: I've now more or less tried every trick in the book and nothing seems to work. I'm almost tempted to say this feels like Capcom is tiring to get consumers to move on because this game is no longer profitable for them, but that would be too easy of an assumption to make.

...seems like it has something to do to the next scene trigger.

The only way to test this is playing on different PC (with different spec would be nice) to see if it still freeze up on the said scene. If it goes smoothly, then something is wrong with your PC built. If it do freeze up exactly on the same spot even on different PC/Laptop (either it has latest spec or inferior than what you had), well, guess the game got itself bogged with modern GPU/CPU configuration, no way around but to wait for update.

I had this issue back then on my laptop but for bizarre reason, it fix itself after I give it second try.

perhaps if i delete specific files and then do a clean install, it might work again.
