crashes immediately after pushing on start

[carmen.s]

I played this game before, that was some months ago. Now I tried to play it but the game crashes everytime I try to start it. It doesn't even trys to load. There is only coming a side up, wich says if you need help go to their website.
I couldn't find the solution there..
My Computer is the same and I didn't change any settings. Also I never had that issue before.

I hope someone could help me and sorry for my english :)

I had the same experience and was about to refund it. What solved it for me was disabling the Nahimic service. Don't know if you have that though.

I second him on this, I can't play JW with Nahimic enabled. Disable this service if you have it. It usually comes with MSI computers or MB.

Why have the devs still not made the game compatible with that service? It's something that has been a problem for a long time.

Starts to sound like negligence on the part of developers like this.

I read that before on this page so I disabled sony and nahimic. But it didn't help me.. It's still crashing.

has been said a few times in the forum that Nahimic sonic studio and/or sonic radar seems to crash the game, personally I don't seem to be having crash issues.

my pc uses nahamic and my pc doesn't work without it???
the game doesn't crash at all
disabling nahamic usually results in bsod and broken audio in everything

nahamic uses Realtek hd universal driver
when i got my new pc out of the box a few months ago windows update decided it would install the wrong sound driver that bsod my pc
only way to fix my pc was to go in device manager and delete Realtek HD driver
run msi live update
update nahamic and install Realtek HD universal driver
then go to sound icon on taskbar an set its playback device to the new driver
then open nahamic and configure the sound and make sure nahamic is using the universal driver

if both old HD an new universal drivers are installed they conflict and pc bsod
get rid of old driver to fix that!

game runs fine on my system as nahamic is a core part of my AMD MSI system!
Ryzen 7 16 core CPU
msi armour 8gb video card
32gb ram
250gb ssd... windows on this device
1tb hdd... game installed on this drive
Bugrosoft Bugrows 10

careful fiddling with nahamic as you could brick the sound on ya pc n bsod windows if it's not setup correctly

game runs fine with nahamic on my end and it hasn't crashed once!

just bought Deluxe version, and cant get it to run full stop. Don't have nahamic running. Going to try NVIDIA driver update but was using ones from 26/11/19,, Have disabled steam overlay.

So I see people are still having this issue. I preordered the game got possibly 10hrs of play and then the immediate crashing issue started, did everything that Frontier said to do at the time except revert to older drivers because they would have been pre-RTX drivers, so that was a no go. So I'm here over a year later hoping for a fix since I've seen new dlc come out. And here I see the same issue with possible new solutions, that seem to be no help. Leaving me to believe it is time to reuninstall the game and just give up on it and the company.

Same here.
I've previously played this game on 399.07 (luckily I have no RTX), but I finally updated my GPU drivers to the latest ones.

I either get random crashes ingame now and the worst thing is, even if I make a hard save the mission objectives aren't saved.
I should take a shot of a dinosaur sleeping and one being socializing.
After half an hour I had these shots and suddenly a random driver crash.

When I booted up, I was sure that I had to take the shot of a sleeping dinosaur again, but no.
I needed both of them even if I made a savegame after completing the first objective.

This drives me away from continuing it unfortunately.

I am thinking of reverting to 399.07 but it's simply ridiculous that they cannot sort these things out.

[Just Chill]

Well... I haven't reverted back, but just set all graphic settings to potato.
Which is hilarious as of playing Mad Max (2016) in 4K on highest settings. ^^
To be fair, that's a well optimized game, runs on a different engine, etc. etc.

But I still would be pretty sure that JWE would run on the 399.07 driver as good as it did before I updated.

Yet it doesn't come to my mind why I should stick to old age graphic drivers just for one game.



However... As of being able to play without crashes (at least not within more than 1 hr playtime), I got to the second island and found some weird bug.

I shot down the stegos manually (no tasks) so they might somehow fell down there. XDDDD
Yet it's not that funny if hitting them again with a dart is either part of the mission. oO

After I solved this issue on my own, the transportation with the choppa went well.
