Description

Game Version number: 1.1.0.42
Modded?: Yes, but also happenes on a vanilla install with no mods installed
If modded, please list the mods:
Too many to list, but the crash happens regardless of whether the mods are installed
Issue Description:
Game crashes between 5-30 minutes every time I am in a game. This could be the offline training mission, or on a modded server - the crash happens regardless of what mission/server I am in. The crash starts with a couple of stutters before the game freezes. The game window becomes greyed out and eventually closes to the desktop. I then get the crash reporter pop up, which the output of that is detailed below:

Hello flashy.
Can you please try this on Experimental version as well?

Also can you please provide us with the following information?:

any overclocking on CPU?
any overclocking on the GPU?
what PSU are you using? Do you have sufficient headroom to cope with power surges from the GPU/CPU?
and do you experience this in any other game as well?

Hello Geez,

There is no overclocking on the CPU or GPU.

I am using a corsair 850w gold rated PSU which is 100W more than the minimum recommended PSU for the 4080.

I don't experience this with any other game.

I will try experimental and report back.

I did manage to get about 4 hours of continuous playtime yesterday, and also suffered no crashes over multiple sessions. However the crashing has returned today and I am unable to play more than 10 mins at a time.

So far so good on experimental

Can confirm I don't get this crashing on Experimental

Seems to be crashing on experimental now since the update

Thank you, we are looking into it.

I think I have managed to fix it (fingers crossed), I disabled hardware accelerated GPU scheduling on Windows and haven't had a crash since
