Odyssey Crashing

[Primetarget]

I recently bought Odyssey after having played Horizons for some time and ever since I have had it the game constantly crashes to desktop. No matter if im on foot or in space.

I have updated drivers, uninstalled antivirus and completely reinstalled it to a different drive without success. Frontier support have acknowledged this is an issue and dont yet have a fix as they dont know what is causing it.

They have all the DXDiag text and reports from me but I was wondering if anyone had the same?

My system specs are:

i9 9900kf
32gb DDR4 RAM
MSI RTX2070 Super
Entire system runs on SSD/M2 drives.

Since reinstalling it on a different drive it does crash a lot less often but still multiple times per hour.

Just a few reports here and there on the forum and not much to go on either as to what causes or fixes these issues. Going out on a limb here, but would you happen to have overclocked any of your hardware?

I'm noticing more of these issues popping up.
I've had the same random crashes as well.
My time window for these crashes was right around the 10.03 hotfix. I played ED fine up to Feb 9th, and then didn't play again until the 18th.
The hotfix was released on the 14th, and I noticed these crashes when I came back to it.
Doesn't matter if I'm on foot, in ship, supercruise, etc. I can play for 30mins or an hour but eventually it will randomly crash.
I have noticed it's more frequent now when I try to go into SC from a planet surface.
I don't have anything overclocked, I've uninstalled and reinstalled ED, and I've dialed back my video card driver to an earlier version, and I still have these issues.
Dunno what to say, but you're not the only one at least.

If you ruled out any hardware issues, by doing isolated hardware tests (like memtest, Cinebench R20, 3DMark or other most GPU intensive applications or drive specific tests), there is not much you can do, besides what you already did.

Odyssey is the gaming equivalent to running 3DMark, at least it is when you're running "older" hardware. Any system instabilities due to faulty or incorrectly configured hardware will certainly come to the fore.

 

[Morbad]

I've only had one crash in Odyssey that I'm fairly confident wasn't my fault. So it is certainly possible for the game to run for protracted periods without issue.

If you've done the basic software side checks (verified game files, cleared caches, updated/reinstalled GPU drivers), it's probably time to stress test the hardware and look for underlying instabilities.

I'd recommend you to revert to Nvidia drivers 497.09 - they're pretty stable for me.
There was also another thread with the same issue and apparently the issues were resolved by reverting to this driver version

On-foot crashed three different ways during combat CG

Hi all, Hopefully this can get to FDev's attention. I was just playing in a ground conflict zone, and Odyssey crashed three times, costing me at least two full battles' worth of combat vouchers for the current ongoing community goal. At first, I finished a battle at the CZ, and the game hung...

But it is not really helpful if it the root cause for crashed cannot be pinpointed, because the game itself is unstable.

I meant that in the sense that for instance on my hardware (i5-7500/1060) I get extremely high usage in most on-foot scenarios. Just like Morbad, I can run the game for extended periods of time without any crashes, it just hogs my resources and makes my PC sound like it wants to launch into near orbit.

I get what you are saying. But if a system is crashing and there is only the slightest hint, that it can be due to the software in use, you have to check stability with additional software. If you don't you can't be sure of the root cause.

I get CTD several times a day, sometimes accompanied by a low on memory warning. I'm not though. Only been having them in the last month or so.

If you're getting a low memory warning and you still have physical memory available, your page file is probably too small.

I managed to resolve it. Thanks to the help of the game suppor techs. They discovered I had an overclock on my GPU which was causing the crash. Turned that off and no crashes since!

Since I have the newest Radeon drivers 22.3.1, I get now a crash while in Solo-Mode to the desktop, as soon as i collect a guardian tablet with my SRV. I can collect Relics, Caskets, Urns, but as soon as I collect that one tablet, it then crashes to the desktop. If I am in private mode, I have again no crashes.

Though I have to admit, that I have since I installed my new GPU, I get here and there driver-timeouts. But with the older drivers, EDO didnt crash on me with my new GPU.

I clean installed the drivers, but I still get random driver-timeouts.

I wish I could know if is the GPU or my System.

EDIT: While relogging I just clicked out of reflex again on solo mode and it crashed again. After I switched to private mode, it runs like a charm.

Do you have also problems in a stress test or other games? I had in the past driver timeouts when my power supply was too weak.

I do have randomly driver timeouts since I have my new GPU since December with other games. But i didnt have yet a driver timeout at a stress test. Which stress test do you use? I have a Radeon 6600 and it states, that a 500w PSU ist sufficient. I have a 600w PSU.
