Crashes every 5-20 mins

Series X crashes every 5-20 mins. I've tried ALL solutions: clearing cache, reset xbox, delete local saves, uninstall/reinstall, default settings, performance settings, and everything in between. Seems more likely to crashes during a fight, but will sometimes crash when nothing is happening. All crashes (dozens by now) have been to the dashboard with the exception of one.

  • Same. Usually just dashboard but hard crashes sometimes. Tried everything as well with no luck. Multiple people with PS5 having same exact issue.

    I saw a PC post and their crash log indicated it was an issue with  a GPU handshake failing.

    I think that might be the issue. Awhile back I had an issue with a game on PC that had similar symptoms as Veilguard has, and it was an issue where for some reason going underground in that game world caused a GPU driver to stop responding. It has an initial setting of how long it'll wait before crashing, and manually adjusting the time to extend how long it would wait would sometimes allow the game to resolve the issue and continue working. 

    I don't think it's the EXACT same issue, but I think there's something wrong with Veilguard getting some kind of disconnect from the GPU and that crashes the game and sometimes the console as well.

    The fact that the exact same symptoms are happening across PC/PS5/XBOXSERIESX suggests there's something funny happening; I think the PC players are likely going to be our best chance at understanding what is wrong since they can pull crash records.

    Big thing is we just need them to acknowledge the issue. EA_Illium
