No game can shut down or reboot the PC. Only crap/low build quality PSUs are capable of that. And using a bad PSU has consequences, bad ones. Even terrible ones.
And while your systems may have almost same hardware in it, something is still completely different. Else-ways, GZ would either jitter on both PCs or run fine on both PCs.
Btw, having top-of-the-line hardware doesn’t mean much. E.g i have 6th gen Core i5 with GTX 1660 Ti and i have 0 issues running GZ. Then again, i’ve fine tuned my rig (both hardware and software wise) and it is also bloatware free. Latter, bloatware, can be the issue for him though.
Oh, cooling wise, saying “Corsair AIO” doesn’t mean much either. If you and he have 120mm or 140mm rad AIO, then CPU is undercooled. If the AIO rad is 240mm then it has decent cooling. Though 280mm rad would be much better off.
I get what you are saying, that’s why we are scratching our heads, there seems to be no apparent reason for the game not running smoothly, but as he was streaming on Twitch it was seen by more than just myself, I also briefly streamed to show him I had zero issues on ultra settings and showed him my settings to show it was unlikely to be the game.
As for cooling I believe he has a 240mm rad I have a smaller radiator as its a smaller case, and have (so far ) had no issues with cooling on the CPU temps never going above mid 40’s under load.
Bloatware is a possibility, I will ask him, failing that we are at a loss for a reason, it just doesn’t make sense to me. I agree something must be different, we just can’t figure out what.
He is the only person I know that has this issue with the game.
If given that hardware is sound, the issue must be in the software. Bloatware is one of the options. However, there can be different programs as well that infringe with GZ specifically. Though, finding that one piece of software is one tedious and time consuming thing to do.
Fastest and easiest way would be doing clean Win install. This removes all software issues there could be (including malware).
I have done everything from initializing PS4 to re-updating system to deleting game and installing again. I have even had to delete profile and start over. I love the game , in fact it’s the first game since ps1 that I’ve gotten all trophies for. It keeps me playing. Please for the betterment of the community fix these issues first
I co op with my friend he’s On PS4 I play PS5, recently himfjall island is constantly causing his game to crash, It’s happened ever session over the last month, so much so we can’t play together on island. I am not having any issues on my system apart from the phantom machine sounds but I have never known it be this unstable on PS4 host, I really hope this is fixed with update as the island is one of the best areas to farm and still looks great!
My friend and I got a Reaper to spawn. It’s been an absolute nightmare crash-fest, with each of us taking turns with the game crashing, mid battle. We restart, craft more ammo, and we have depleted our resources for making ammo, explosives, and first aid kits, and we were both fully stocked with resources to begin with. Now, we have to farm resources just to get back in the fight, only to have the game crash over and over and over and over and over.
This is a game breaking issue. Very, very disheartening, and disappointing.
THIS will be the final straw for this game. With all the bugs, crashes, terrible UI, I won’t be playing anymore. I’ll come back when I hear that the crashing (which has plagued this game from day one) has been fixed. But I doubt this will happen.
Moved to the general crash thread. Sorry to hear you’re having issues.
I’d ask for some more information about the issues but if you won’t bother with the game more anyway I guess there’s no point. For the record though, one thread is enough.
I’ve removed your other comment in this thread because it doesn’t concern the topic. It’s basically just a repeat of the post above. Please consider our rules on cross-posting in the future.
Sigh. Well I seem to be getting endless crashes here. I’ve been going on a loot-fest trying to replace all the Adrenaline Shots I used up. I’ve already crashed like 2 times as soon as the loot screen pulled up.
If you are on XBOX I would be curious to hear how you experience the game stability now post the November / Resistance update. Is it still unstable and crashing a lot? Or is it better now?
The next patch should contain quite a lot of crash fixes and should hopefully reduce the amount of crashes in the game in general. We are working on getting this out to you as soon as possible!
So, I got the game with the Dangerous World bundle on Humble. Started up a game solo, got to the church. Crash. Ok, fiddle with some settings. Load game, Go up church tower to get the gun. Crash. Huh, ok. Fiddle with more settings… invite a friend to join my game. Play for a little bit. Crash. Fiddle more. Play some more. Crash. Ok fine… he hosts. Plays fine for a bit… crash. Yell at the world in general. Join friend. Things seem to be fine. Clear the 1st military base. Crash, crash crash. Get headache.
Each time I tried to send a crash report it said it failed. So I’m not even sure what to do, how to fix. I took a couple days off from playing. Long enough for the sting of the crashes to kinda fade. Loaded my game. Fast Traveled back to the 1st safe house to try and find a collectible I missed, and I wanted to explore the map some. Started to just walk south, no fighting robots. Just looting some bags AND crash. Friend never crashed once. I’ve got a decent enough PC, AMD Radeon graphics. None of the quick fixes I’ve researched seem to help. I’m kinda at a loss.
@SR_knivspark The game crashes on multiplayer, quite often. It also crashes on single player. It’s actually getting worse, not better. Seeing both connecting computers in multiplayer are over the specs needed, crashing the computer (not just the game) is a game issue.
It looks like the game gets too confused or over burdened sending out so many bots, that it just shuts off.
None of these issues come up on any other game. We are playing via Steam, on Windows, with Gen 0 as well as many other games.
This issue is NOT fixed and let me make it weirder for you, I HAD NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER UNTIL I STOPPED PLAYING VIA GAMES PASS, love the game so purchased and installed and now crash appx every 58 minutes in multi wether or not I host, it is worse in the off island DLC. No issues at all, until purchased and installed. Have un/re-installed, still constantly crashes. Going to have to change rating and review…
Sorry to hear that you are experiencing frequent crashes. However, what you are describing is not the issue that THIS topic is about so I’ll move it to a more appropriate topic and we can take it from there.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for flagging hopefully we can get this sorted in a future update!
I’m having an issue in game solo or with friends in multiplayer where my game will just crash randomly. Could happen 5 mins into a game or an hour in and its causing me to have to back track constantly to try and complete missions.
My two friends I’m playing with have next to no crashing and one is on Windows 10 the other on Windows 11. I’ve scoured the internet for a solution and have come up with nothing.
