Yakuza 0 shutting down computer

[Lotei]

Hi, until monday I could play Yakuza 0 without any issues. But since yesterday, almost every time I try to start the game, it shuts down my computer which can be somewhat problematic.

Does someone have an idea to help me resolve this issue ?

What are your specs by any chance? If it's not your specs, maybe your PSU might be failing?

Check your temperatures, if your GPU or CPU is going over its maximum temperature, the PC will shut down to stop any damage to your hardware.

I hadn't thought about that so I tried and I think you're right. The temperature was raised to 75° and when it reached 80°C, it shut down.

You must have older hardware then. Newer stuff will throttle when it gets too hot to avoid thermal shutdowns.

Open your case and clean out your heat sinks and fans.

Unless you're on a laptop, then you may be boned. Some are a pain to open and clean.

I opened it, cleaned it and I think I'll let the case open, it might help.

I'm on a Intel I5-4690K with a GTX 970. I don't think it's that old but it's kinda hot where I live and the room is at 35°C

Odd, that should be recent enough to self-throttle.

Cleaning should definitely have helped. You could also lock the framerate to 60 to reduce overall system load.

Ok this is weird, the GPU stayed at 40°, I changed the settings to lower the quality to avoid overheat and when I changed the quality to medium, it shut down. And this time, not because of overheating

[Seamus]

If it's not shutting down due to heat, your power supply is probably on its way out the door and can't provide proper voltage to keep everything going.

It only happens with this game, I tried with Witcher 3 and Arma 3 and had no issue whosoever.

I should have mentionned it earlier but it's rebooting after a few seconds by itself once again

Games are funny that way. For example, Binding of Isaac Rebirth will randomly blue-screen my tower, but no other games I play on it will.

Makes stuff like this hard to diagnose.

I'll try to reinstall it and play Dead Cells in the meantime, maybe the next update could resolve this issue ! But thank you for the time you spent answering me !

This sounds like the game for whatever reason causes the GPU or CPU to suddenly draw too much power which can't be delivered for whatever reason, instead tripping a safety of some kind.

Mass Effect: Andromeda did the same to my old build. All of a sudden in the main menu or during loading the PC would just go "poof" and restart itself.

nba2k something 13 14 used to bsod my pc, but was the only game on the computer that would do that, when i posted on a game thread mentioning it, someone told me to boost the votage on my CPU for whatever reason even though my pc had done burn in tests, gpu and cpu tests etc, that game wigged out my cpu. And sure enough i upped my votage a tad and no more bsods.


some games make good stress testing apps.

Ok well it seems like starting the game from a new session worked... Which is weird because I knew that it may cause an issue if I had some strange caracters in my name but it's not the case. Anyway, I was finally able to play without crashing

[Seamus]

Well, hey. Progress is progress.
