4070 Ti - Game crashing to desktop within 5-20 seconds of gameplay.

[M A L I C E]

I have a 4070 Ti and can play for 20-30 seconds before it crashes to the desktop. WTF is going on? EVERY other game I play is fine. FIX THIS!

What settings you are running?

Ultra everything, and HDR off unfortunately. My display is a Roku 55-inch 4k, just not HDR capable. I tried setting my graphics to High and still have the same issue. I'm seeing a lot of people with the 4070 series having problems for about 10 days now.

Turn off "Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling" it works 100% on RTX40,
but "DLSS 3.0 Frame Generation" becomes unavailable. this is the only way,
lowering options is just crashes a little later, problem is not solved.

Same here , tried lit every "solution/ fix" and it doesnt stop crashing , every time it crashes in 1-2 min . (even in menu) My card is 4070ti as well, what cpu you got?

Same here since some weeks. New game installation, driver new clean installation did not help. Game crash with no error and jumps back to the desktop

Hey 4070ti users !
So I actually tried out the hags off style and guess what .... The game plays perfectly fine !
I didn't get a single desktop crash in 1 hour of gameplay .
You can't use the frame gen dlss3 setting but hey, the game is working now. Ray tracing hits hard on this game "somehow" ( like the whole game is so optimized tho) but without it , the game still looks beautiful. I beleive they will never fix this problem , they just don't care anymore to fix anything in this game... till then , if you want to play hogwarts , tick out that useless hags and play .
I found out hags was the thing as well what destroyed my diablo 4 expecience with all the fps drops for no reason. 2 in 1 for me !
Hardware accelerated gpu scheduling at this point is totally pointless for my 4070ti.
I hope this helps someone as well. Cheers.

This may be one of the saddest reply’s I’ve ever seen on here lmao the fact you have to link to a page to vote for the game to be fixed haha I truly don’t know how game devs can live with themselves sometimes

Did anyone ever find a fix for this? I cant get past the first warning screen before it crashes T_T

Same 4060 ti. The game crashes literally after a couple of seconds on any settings. It is possible to play only in the prologue and only until a certain point

Yeah this was for stuttering issues at launch. Everyone's crashing issues now are because of an update that they never patched. People were saying it's a RAM issue, well I literally just bought 16 more gigs of RAM just to see and NOPE, still crashes immediately after the warning screen. I don't understand how they just abandoned this game 6 months after launch...
