[RSoD/BSoD] Need assistance!

[Shay <3 Haddie]

My specs
Prebuilt PC, Asus CM1855
FX8300@Stock speeds
8GB RAM
HD7770 1GB GDDR5

Within the recent patches the game have been starting to fail upon me.
I experience stuttering, RSoD/BSoD and can't do anything about it.
This hasn't happened before the recent patches and no other game except for Sonic Forces does this to my system.
The main HDD runs Windows 8 64 bit
I have also tried this on a speare drive with Windows 8.1 64 bit, same problem.
Would appricate if anyone could help me sort this out.

When you say BSOD do you mean complete sytstem crash and reboot?
Are your graphics drivers up to date?
You say your main HDD runs Windows 8? Are you sure you don't mean 8.1? Windows 8 is end-of-support and should be upgraded to 8.1 as soon as possible (download it free from Windows Store) and then fully updated via Windows Update.
Your GPU is below the minimum specs, and has half the VRAM of the minimum cards specified by the developer.

I think this could be due to memory limit on GPU as had simalar issues a few years back because the game was using more than 1gb vram and just blue screen my system

Yes complete system crash and reboots and I can't even catch the message before it happens.
The default drive that came with the pc has win8 64 and the seperate drive that I tried with has win8.1 64
The game ran perfectly before the recent patches without any problem and the VRAM usage of this game never exceded 700MB.
Where I am able to play more VRAM demanding games like the badly optimized assassins creed games.

As mentioned before I can run games that require far more power without any problem and this is something that recently happened after updating the game.
I have alredy played a lot of hours in this game and never experienced problems, so this is a new thing and I want it to be sorted out.

If your GPU is still supported, you will want to contact the manufacturer as this is an apparent driver error. Does the BSOD mention a .sys driver?
Sonic Forces is a fully usermode game (even both the DRM and the .exe obfuscation is driver-free) and as such is not directly capable of crashing the Windows kernel. However, if it feeds a driver content that triggers a bug, it could cause the driver to crash and bring down the system.

What BSOD error you get? Clock_Watchdog_Timeout? If so, I suggest you downclock CPU speed and voltage via BIOS until it's stable. You can also download GPU Core and Memory Clock Speed via MSI Afterburner and play around with it until the system is stable. You may also need to download and install latest driver for chipset, onboard audio/sound card, graphics card, etc. Make sure you download latest BIOS from manufacturer's website, regardless your motherboard brand and model name, and then flash the BIOS.

AMD FX runs hot.
Are you running an overclock?
Prebuilt PC's often have ♥♥♥♥♥ motherboards in them to make more moneyz.
The 8 core Vishera chips require adequate VRM cooling even if you have the lower clocked energy efficient FX-8300.
Open your pc and check for dust too and clean it out.

The PC is running alright, stock speeds never gone past 40C using an aftermarket cooler.
The mobo does get hot with 50-55C but I got an additional fan around there so temps are now within 40-50C

I tried this, no changes.

with this you should be able to backdate the game with the steam depot, be warned it is not an easy thing to do. You may have a hard time, I wish you the best of luck.

edit: you need to get the dev console open you may need to edit your steam shortcut on your desktop, add a -dev at the end of the file text string. Also you have to quit out of steam first before opening steam in dev mode.
