Hello, My game has been crashing lately and I'm trying to identify the cause. I've reached out to Frontier Support several times, but they seem to have given up. They were very helpful and did their best. System specs: 3060 Ti / 10850K (10 cores/20 threads) / 32 GB RAM at 3600Mhz. Power supply is 850W. The game I'm working on is experiencing issues, but it's not a major problem—played in larger parks without trouble before. It happens even in nearly empty spaces. Hardware temps are normal. I've tried all the advice they provided, reinstalled drivers, removed certain apps, run Memtest, used debug mode, changed windowing settings, adjusted auto-save intervals, and tested on both monitors. Disconnected one monitor to check for resolution issues. Frames are still stable, but crashes occur intermittently—sometimes after 2 minutes, sometimes after 10, but rarely longer. Everything is up to date. I'm playing on Windows 10, now testing on Windows 11 and the same problem persists. I'm playing Cyberpunk, Battlefield, AC Valhalla at full settings (1440p) without any issues. If anyone has alternative solutions or workarounds, please share them. I've logged over 200 hours and don't want to lose progress. Thanks ahead!
They mentioned other titles, even the high-end ones at full settings, working well. You’ve already handled all the troubleshooting and kept an eye on temperatures. It seems the issue might be tied to the game engine itself. A quick search uncovered many links discussing crashes in that game.
Hey! Thanks for your feedback. It’s clear the optimization is poor, and you’ve experienced some serious crashes. Despite that, a solid number of players—especially those with dedicated communities—keep playing without problems even on lower-end systems. I’m puzzled as to why the engine would just stop working suddenly; it feels unusual. No similar issues have happened before.
No idea. Could be one of the game update broke it, due to clash with driver or OS could be driver update broke it, due to the game engine can't utilize it well. or both. Anyway, if it's the game engine, nothing you can do about it. Push the dev to fix stuffs. At the very least it wasn't like New World back then, pushing your GPU to the death.
