Loading times extremely increased
Since EA-Cient-Update yesterday the game needed exactly 15 min 45 sec to start. (Used a stopwatch, really 😂) When playing last time (Feb. 2025) I didn't have any trouble regarding the loading times. The game needed approx. 1-2 min to start. So - has anybody any idea, what's going on here?Game No Longer Runs
Hi all! I have almost 200 hours in this game - I played it obsessively at launch with very few issues. I have a a 3060 Ti graphics card, a 5930K CPU, and 64GB of ram. My PC runs titles like BG3 without issue on Ultra graphics. Over the last two weeks, every time I have tried to boot Veilguard it completely crashes my system when on the Shaders Compilation screen at launch. It'll sometimes get to 100% but immediately crashes - my peripherals die, and the only thing still going is my fans. All of my drivers are up to date. I tried doing a fresh install of the game, and that did not help. Really frustrated because I want to pick it up again after a few months away. Any help would be appreciated!
Crackling sound making it unplayable
Title screen, Varric doing his monologue and character creation all play sound with no problem but the second I got to the first cutscene with my rook and then into Mintrathous the sound is constantly crackling and cutting out. Have tried every possible audio setting in game and updated drivers. (On windows 10)Arlathan Forest specific spot crash
This problem first occurred probably a couple of weeks after updating my AMD GPU driver to 25.5.1 last month during my fourth playthrough some time after the start of Act 2. Soon after I left the Veil Jumper base, I noticed some frame rate drops and as I traveled along the path to the docks, the game suddenly crashed. This has happened multiple times and sometimes I got lucky enough to reach the area near the docks (picture provided) before the game crashed again. I had tried everything but none of the methods below worked. Repair the game by verifying game files integrity on Steam Downgrade the AMD GPU driver to a previous version (25.4.1) Reset shader cache on AMD Adrenalin Set graphics to "Low" Disable triple buffering Switch off all mods Here are my PC specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Radeon RX 7800 XT 32GB RAM Confusingly, the game didn't crash (but still suffering some frame rate drops) whenever I fast-travelled to areas away from the docks and the Veil Jumper base. I like this game and I don't want my current fourth and future playthroughs ruined just because the game crashes every time I walk out of the Veil Jumper base and head to the docks.
Frequent crashes & load errors
The game's stability has severly declined since I got it through Epic a few days ago. The first day I had 2 crashes; figured it was a problem with my PC since it was overdue for some TLC. The day after, it crashed 4 times... Third day I had to fight to even get it to work at all and I started to run in to the issue of not being able to load autosaves, which becomes an especially large problem when the game frequently crashes out of nowhere. Any time I try to load an auto save I get the very informative message: "Load error. An error occurred while trying to complete your request." where it tells me absolutely nothing about what is wrong and how to fix it. Luckily I temporarily solved it by loading a chapter save, then loading my latest auto save afterwards but as of today this no longer works. I am only able to load temporary chapter saves and manual saves, which might not be that large of an issue if it was me who decided when to quit the game, but as it stands I have almost no say in the matter. Thankful for any advice at this point. I realize some specifics about my computer may be required to troubleshoot; I'm not the most tech savvy so I'm not sure what's important to write down right off the bat but if anyone can help I'll gladly look in to it and reply ASAP!
