Restart Windows Bugcheck Fix
Well, if judgment is much tougher than Cyberpunk and you haven’t run into problems with it, then have you considered reducing the graphics settings in the game? Are you playing at 4K resolution? Could you share your complete system details? Let’s begin there, especially if this is causing a full system crash.
Cyberpunk appears more challenging than Judgement in terms of performance, which made me question Judgement's stability. Despite trying to disable taxing features and lowering FPS settings, the issue persisted. I’m still trying to figure out why it crashes under these conditions. It might be a corrupted save file, though that didn’t resolve the problem even after reinstalling. There’s a sequel using the same engine, so I’m considering purchasing it on Steam to see if the engine conflicts with my PC. The crash has become increasingly likely before refunds are processed. Notably, Denuvo is in use, and some users report similar issues, though they usually stem from CTD problems.
Check out more about Cyberpunk 2077—it's a buggy, incomplete title that hasn't stabilized despite updates. It tries to pack too many features into one experience, making it feel more like an experiment than a polished game. Don't rely on your system specs to judge its quality. As for Judgement, you're right it can be unstable too.
I discovered some intriguing details recently. After attempting the sequel, it faced the same crashes as the original—thankfully within the refund window. I then tried another title using the same engine, Yakuza 7. Previously, I played Yakuza 7 about seven years ago on a PC (around 70 hours) without any problems, but I did this through HDMI on my TV. When I switched to monitors, the same issues appeared. I found a Reddit discussion that matches my experience, though it lacks much detail. It seems some users only started having crashes when switching from TV to monitors. I’m curious if playing on TV would resolve the problem. If it does, I’m unsure what engine flaw is causing it, but I’d like to keep trying. As long as other games work fine, I hope the situation doesn’t worsen and I can finally enjoy the series without worries. I’ll update here if playing on TV helps or if something else is at play.
Hey everyone, sorry the game crashed on my PC when connected through HDMI to the TV. That’s another confusing twist—still not sure what to do next. I’ll keep looking up more info but have already checked many searches. As usual, I’ll update here as I try different solutions. I’m hoping this doesn’t happen in other games, or it might mean my hardware is the problem.
I received another update, still no resolution. It’s hard to know what to try next, but I attempted something that gave a somewhat useful outcome. I re-ran DDU and updated the earliest supported drivers for my GPU. Launched the problematic game and encountered the same issue—identical symptoms. Just like before, adjusting the TDR display revealed new details in the event viewer. The system logs no longer mention the Nvidia driver failure; instead, they only note an unexpected shutdown and a missing memory dump. By comparing application logs, I now see an error three seconds after the event viewer reports the crash: Faulting application name: dwm.exe, version: 10.0.19041.746, time stamp: 0x6be51595. I’m not sure this is the root cause, since with the TDR timeout I’d expect it about a minute before the shutdown, but I’m sharing this info just for reference. It seems I’ve tried most possible fixes online, and I’m running out of useful threads to explore. I’ll just keep going and hope it doesn’t appear in other games soon.
On the other side there are many poorly optimized titles available, and cyberpunk is definitely among them, I don’t have any opinion, but it wouldn’t be surprising if stability is also an issue... This might just be one of several factors to consider. Before purchasing a game, it’s wise to check reviews on Steam or similar platforms, as they often provide specific solutions. Sometimes these problems stem from your hardware, but more likely they’re related to the games themselves—especially those with poor development reputations. If a new GPU resolves the problem, that would help, though it’s not a definitive fix. However, if these issues persist, you might need to examine the type of games you’re playing (including developer reputation) and other potential causes like RAM or driver problems. Memory tests aren’t always reliable since they can miss certain errors, and sometimes the issue could be a mix of factors—like GPU, drivers, or buggy software.
On the HDMI connection I’m using DP for both displays. When working with monitors, I tried setting “best performance” in Visual Effects for the control panel but it didn’t help. I’ve discovered a few additional troubleshooting steps that might be useful, though I suppose it’s not necessary to share them now. It would be helpful if this could become a checklist for others facing similar problems. I’m also worried there might be more than one issue at play, and because I’m testing things one by one, I often don’t reach the root cause—especially since I’m seeing different error messages in Event Viewer.
