Constant crashing so im gonna wait it out
Constant crashing so im gonna wait it out
I am envious of all y'all enjoying the game, but after 3 nights of constant crashing, I am putting the game on ice for a while. I have scoured the Internet for fixes but nothing seems to work. I have a Ryzen 5 2600x, RTX 2060, 16 GB of ram and an M.2 SSD. I realize this isn't the best PC but meets minimum specs so should be able to run on lowest settings.
Regardless, it has kind of been a blessing. I don't have a ton of time to game so I have actually been playing Skyrim Special Edition for the very first time. On Ultra settings that games still holds up very, very well.
Hope to join y'all in a few months after a patch or two!
I had constant framedrops because my cpu was overheating. I used a program called apeccy to monitor temperatures. Iwas told it was either temperature or settings, so maybe it helps to check that out.
That's a good idea. I'll check it out.
I don't know if crashing has been common for people with Starfield but for me it hasn't happened at all.
But I'm glad you've been able find joy in Skyrim. With your specs, you'd probably be good to throw some HD textures and meshes, a good lighting and environment miss, and run an enb to get a real modern look.
I've always enjoyed ELFX for lighting. Lighting mods deal with interiors and that one has options for how dark you want your dungeons.
Lighting has a surprising impact on the atmosphere of Skyrim. A lesson they've seemed to learn from on Starfield.
I've also not experienced a single crash with Starfield. I'm playing on Linux with an 7600x and a 6600XT.
Oh I hadn't even thought about mods! That sounds like a great idea. Thanks.
My experience with crashes has been very weird. I'll go 10 hours without crashing and then suddenly I'm crashing left and right until I leave that area or something? But there's nothing wrong with the area because I'll go back to that area and spend hours there(one crashing spot was an outpost). If your experience is similar you could try going somewhere else for a bit and returning?
I saw in another thread that when the CPU is near the lower requirements that getting the game to use like 97-95% of the CPUs maximum output solved a lot of problems like this and freezing.
No idea if you've tried it or even how to configure anything to do this, but maybe it'll help? I mean not having a game too conflict with what little time you have left is un American....?
Haha.
I will definitely check into that. Thanks for the tip.
