Crash fixes for AMD users

A guide to help AMD users get past the countless crashes that they may experience while playing this game.

DISCLAIMER

The main reason this game crashes constantly it's because in runs on a 32bit .exe, so it only ends up using 2GB of your RAM.

These fixes worked on my specs, it's not guaranteed to work on yours too.

My specs for reference:

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit
CPU: Intel i5-10400f
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x8gb
GPU: AMD Radeon RX6600
SSD: Crucial P2 NVMe M.2 1tb

This game hates AMD Software

The head of this section is pretty self explanatory, I had my Adrenalin Software act really weird while playing this game, if you experience stuttering, weird framerate pace and sudden drops, ALT+TAB from the game and get back into it, this should fix those problems.

First steps

The very first two steps are pretty simple:


The first one:

While the game is open, press ALT+TAB, right click on the Windows bar, Task Manager, find the game's process and right click on it, then click on Properties, go into the Compatibility tab and check the "Disable fullscreen optimization"


The second one:

Click on Windows' Start, go into the settings, go into the 'Games' section, on the left there should be "Game mode", click on it and disable it.


These two steps may seem stupid but helped me a lot mitigating at least a good chunk of the crashes.

The game closes without any warning.

It happens when the game is loading a new area and crashes without any error showing up, just booting you back to the desktop.

A fix I found for this is to completely turn off the Anti-Aliasing in the Graphics settings, as it appears to be the main cause of those crashes.

Sometimes though you'll have to completely turn the graphics to the lowest settings, you don't have to play it constantly like this, just reach the nearest save point, get back to the main menu and turn the graphics back to the highest settings.

I know it may not be a very comfortable solution, but it worked flawlessly for me.

ERR08: Memory Overrun

This one had me scratch my head several times before I found a solid way to avoid it.

It will be the most common crash in the entire game, it may seem not fixable, but the truth is you just simply have to open your Adrenalin Software, go into the Gaming Tab, go to Graphics, scroll down to the bottom and perform a Reset on the Shaders Cache.

For some reason resetting the Shaders Cache temporarily fixes this crash, keep in mind that it's temporary and you have to do it everytime you encounter it.

The best possible way to avoid the ERR08: Memory Overrun is to reset the shaders cache everytime before you start playing.

Other types of crashes

I've encountered other types of crashes in this game, mainly caused by the fact that I ALT+TAB from the game frequently, and it doesn't like it very much, so try to avoid to do it at all and you should be fine.

If you have to ALT+TAB: go into the main menu, as it appears to be totally safe to perform this action into it.

In conclusion

If you want to experience this game in its entirety these are the best possible solutions I could think of, they worked in the Campaign mode, THEY ARE NOT guaranteed to work in the Raid mode.


Anyway I really hope you found this guide helpful and I hope even more that it works.

Thank you for reading, see you in the Abyss.
