Game Crashing - PC
i swear the game has crashed a total of 40 times, i have updated my pc, graphics drivers, reinstalled the game, verified game files, ran it as administrator. nothing works. stop changing drivers eye ...
Just crashed again. See ya! 🚮
Between ego dumpers and game freezing, I'm beyond frustrated.
No dxdiags here to prove my feeling but I'll guess to a man you're all using Nvidia GPUs?
High (silly) refresh rates crash the game. Old drivers crash the game. Global settings may crash the game. Cards used for mining may crash anyway. GFE can crash the game. Missing VBIOS updates can crash the game or it blackscreens. DLSS mismatches can crash the game.
DDU can help with bad driver installs. Reinstalling Windows clears endless cruft. If you're taking that step, update your mainboard (and AMD CPU update your mainboard drivers). Don't use Insider Builds. Check temps, check storage, benchmark (Guru3D has pretty good published results for a lot of hardware).
Anecdotally, F1 2021 beta I ran RX580 and RX5700XT without issue. I ran a GTX1060 and got pretty consistent EGO Dumper. Same PC in every other way. Card was fine (benchmarked in testing suites), got resold.
So, use high enough preset settings, consider a framecap on top of that. Game probably runs manageably on 10/16/20 series. High end 20 or 30, just watch your settings.
