[Steam] Chapter 10 - Hallway - Destroy the Tendril in Deluxe Quarters Crashing

Question

Hi,&nbsp;In Chapter 10, where the mission states "Destroy the Tendril in Deluxe Quarters" I enter an L shaped hallway just before a room with a laughing woman. Within under a minute the game will crash. It will either freeze or CTD.Up until this point the game has not crashed even once, progress is now impossible.

PC SpecOS: Windows 11 - 23H2PSU: HX1000i&nbsp;
MB: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero BIOS 4805CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (cooled with a Corsair RGB Pro XT)

D (Steam Drive): 2GB SOLIDIGM P44 ProAMD Radeon Drivers: 24.5.1Windows updates and all other drivers I can think of are up to date, nothing is overclocked, everything stays well within thermal limits.&nbsp;

Playing through Steam with an Xbox Controller

No other games I am playing crash, these include : BG3, Starfield, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, CyberPunk 2077, Death Stranding, Elden Ring.&nbsp;

I have tried changing the game settings to vary the Quality and Display setting to vary those as well. Not sure what else to do!

I can provide more information if needed.

Please help. I'd like to finish the game!

Can you attach a DxDiag?
Also, look at your Reliability monitor and attach this file:

Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
Copy and paste "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in the new Window &gt; hit “ENTER”
Look if it has entries for the game executable or EA app.
If yes double click at the last entry for the game executable or EA app, copy the info, and save it to a text file.
Once saved attach it to the thread.

Hi,&nbsp;Thanks for replying.I've just now had the chance to look at this. Fortuitously, new Radeon Drivers have just released. Installing these drivers forced a Rebuild of the Shader Cache. When I restarted the game it was jittering a lot (I guess due to in game shader compiling or something of that ilk), after a time it smoothed out, I went into the L shaped Hallway and it did not crash at all.&nbsp;Either the new driver (24.6.1) or the forced shader recompile as a result of the driver install have resolved the issue.&nbsp;Kind Regards,LB
