Tried everything, still crashes randomly

[Pandalf]

I have a new Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Intel i9-13900HX with Nvidia 4070 laptop 8GB version more than enough to play the game, but no matter what I tried, the game keeps crashing:
- tried variety of different settings: low to ultra
- integrity of files checks out
- all drivers are up to date
- tried changing display video resolution
- manually adjusted NVIDIA settings for the game
- basically everything I could find online in variety of combinations

Sometimes I can play for 40 minutes, sometimes it crashes at boot screen preparing shaders, sometimes it crashes after 2 minutes in game.

Definitely needs some serious fixes, this way it is unplayable :(

same here game is unplayable

same here I9 4070ti desktop, keeps crashing every 10-15 mins, crashes more often when RT is turned on.

[pc is for casuals]

same, just crashing on startup

Started a fresh install. It was giving me a message saying it ran out of vram. Then I desided to just run the bench test and have it run on what it recommended (everything on ultra with Raytracing on medium). Game plays a while, then just crashes.

I hate that of all the games I have with ray tracing, this is the only game I typically need to turn it off.

Try using GeForce experience to optimize your game, this helped me.

Nope, did not help. It really seems to be a memory leak or something as it crashes on GPU memory

This old solution to the early June update shaders problem has worked for me, and others:

Same problem, i7 13700K, 32GB RAM, 4070ti and it's crashing all the time after 2min. playing the game. I reinstalled the game, optimized the graphics, did everything i found online. Nothing helped. It's so frutstrating, because there ist no error message or something like that

Same Crash on title screen, black screen with audio. i have to manually restart my PC.
Im running a 5950x with a Radeon RX 6800 XT, and it WAS running like a dream... i even gave it a great review, oops.

Exactly what happened to me too, same pc spec as yours except for the cpu. You just knew crashing into desktop without any error is a sign that the game itself is the root cause of that crashing. It's a garbage port so far but the fanbois are still lapping it up like no tomorrow.

literally same specs and it keeps crashing after the last update (june 2)

Turn off "Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling" it works if no HW problem, but "DLSS 3.0 Frame Generation" becomes unavailable. (13600k 32gb 4070ti Win11)

It works for me.. The game all setting Ultra and RTX enabled on my 4070 now don't crash anymore... Great.

YEP! Same here!
