Game Crashes a lot !

[DeadSpot]

So i have been playing the game for 4 hours now on max settings. The game runs smoothly but i have noticed strange blue flashes during game play every now and then.

And the game crashes every half an hour or so.

Anyone having the same problem?




My specs:

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
latest driver

Intel core i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60Ghz

63.93 GB RAM

blue flashes? That could indicate an issue with your graphics card. Is this happening only with this game?

ya its only happening with this game. Its more like blue and red dots that flash around sometimes. My rig is new and the driver is up to date.

Anyway my main concern now is the constant annoying crashing.

Red dots? That could be an issue with a loose/bad HDMI cable. Try reseating it. But, it is weird that it is only happening with this game.

Do you get any error message on crashing? What were the CPU and GPU temps when this happens?

That amount of RAM though...

Try underclocking RAM a bit. From my experience, RAM is responsible for majority of software crashes, especially the high-speed one.

64GB RAM?? WOW...

How much you wanna bet its bottom tier level 2133-2400mhz ddr4...

And how do you know its high speed when the frequency was never listed? Most likely its bottom of the barrel frequency.

Because 1) I have that "bottom of the barrel" RAM myself and not a single game has crashed in years, 2) a guy on Assassin's Creed Origins forum complained about crashes too and underclocking RAM to ~3000 helped.

LOL... I never said bottom end barrel ram caused crashes.. you missed the point. Number 2 if underclocking his ram helped then he has either a bad memory controller on his cpu or bought ram his motherboard doesnt really support... Lastly your solution is dumb and will only apply to people with incompatible ram, a bad cpu mem controller or ram that is too high in spec for the cpu and board to start with.

I have ddr4 3600mhz ram that I can run 100% stable at 4ghz and I have ZERO issues with Assassins creed origins or any other game for that matter.

First thing he should do if he suspects its his ram is to run memtest which will quickly point out any problems before attempting to underclock it which should be the last thing he should consider doing in an effort to trouble shoot.

Memtest+ won't show anything if RAM isn't damaged.

That's the point - crashes might be caused by incompatible RAM. You would have issues with yours too if your motherboard wouldn't be able to handle it. Commercial software rarely crashes due to developer's incompetence/lack of testing these days, so that leaves hardware as main suspect, of which RAM is the most sensitive one, especially when overclocked.

LEL.... the ram doesnt have to be damaged for it to show something.. memtest will find stability issues that may be lurking due to (as I said before a bad mem controller or incompatible ram with the mb).... the whole point of memtest is to see if the ram is having issues with stability and if it passes with flying colors then their is ZERO need to down clock the ram.

Failing memtest doesnt necessarily mean the ram is damaged... if can also fail for the reasons I mentioned above which is why he should do that first.

Well of course... so we agree there.. but seeing I dont blindly throw parts together I dont have such issues.

Agree.. unless the OP has a corrupted OS or corrupted driver.. a lot of people out there are running very old windows installs or have upgrades on top of upgrades and never bothered once to do a clean install.

Yes but as of right now neither of us know what his frequency is, or if he has overclocked it.. enabled xmp or anything else like that.

Ok.. i never expected my RAM will have anything to do with it !

But thanks for pointing it out

[Kleerex]

Cool!

I wonder how many more people have their games constantly crashing and blame developers who can do nothing about it.

Performance is going to suffer a bit, but at least games will be more stable.
