I can confirm that the patch has not changed anything for me:
I can play without any issue (except hard FPS drops) until I reach Jeddah. After the story takes me to the main hub and the Mantis lands there it basically breaks the game. As soon as I am near the ship it crashes with 100% repeatability with the following error:
LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 686] pResource->Map(Subresource, pReadRange, reinterpret_cast<void**>(&pData)) failed at D:\depot\r8branches\r8release\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12RHIPrivate.h:1253 with error DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED with Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG
As this only sais: "I got no GPU to render" I tried to fix the issue in so many ways that I am now out of ideas - except maybe reinstalling windows ?
Here are my attempts at resolving this:
- verifying game files
- changing graphics to minimum and restarting game
- lowering my GPU clock by -100Mhz and VRAM clock by -100Mhz
- disableing XMP on my RAM
- Using DDU to completely uninstall any graphics driver and reinstall without Geforce Experience (which actually improved performance a little)
- using SFC and DISM to check for errors in Windows
- clearing %TEMP%
- using an older NVIDIA driver (531.61 instead of 531.68)
- performing a RAM test
The game ALWAYS crashes at the very same spot where I try to leave with *SPOILER* from the main hub at Jeddah ...
Completely stuck inside that building now. Fast travel is not available for story reasons.
Windows 11 Ver.1635 - all current Windows Updates applied
Hardware:
- I7-12700k (non OC)
- 32 GB DDR4-3200 XMP or 2133 non XMP - no errors on Windows Memory Diagnostics
- Geforce RTX4090
All other games (DX12 or otherwise) I own run fine without crashing.
