One uppon a time, I had problems related to shutdowns and restarts. Further info here.
Now I have a different problem: Witcher 3 closes at random
Was running arround searching for something, suddenly crash to desktop. Restarted the game, loaded up the save again and went on for another 2 to 3 hours when the game suddenly closed mid-cutscene.
What I checked so far
CPU temperature is fine (45°C)
GPU temperature is fine (60°C to 70°C)
Motherboard VRM temperature is fine (50ish °C)
RAM, CPU and GPU load are all as expected.
Voltages are all as expected.
VIN10 (the one causing me headaches previously) is seemingly fine.
Have you tried older drivers? (Create a system restore point)
What is utilisation of the fury during play (use Hwmon/Radeon settings).
Is there other driver software running during use i.e MSI AB, 3rd party utils.
Does the gpu sag too much? [If it is too difficult to prop gpu up to test one could lie the case sideways]
I saw the stress testing of CPU-Z in the deprecated thread.
Does PC survive a couple mins of prime95?
I assume you don’t want to ask for the old thread back. Why?
Tried to search a bit if I would have written anywhere what settings I did set to my last Witcher 3 run, but couldnt find anything
BUT!, but, that draw distance mod did mostly improve performance for me, and then some of its settings did clearly lower it, and I think it was foliage distance which caused that game to crash faster
Only other tweaks I did to my game was limit Antialiasing to SMAA or something, avoid the Nvidia HBAO+ which looks the same and runs bad.
Even have hairworks turned up to the max - just got to limit Tesselation in drivers to 8X, which is plenty and looks identical to all higher settings. Else the game goes crazy and runs at 64X which is an utter waste of the graphics pipeline.
Oh I meant these distance settings, but yes, SMAA works out better, also Lumasharpen works better than the ingame adaptive one which causes black pixels
But I did not notice changing tessellation improving perfromance, and with that Fury it has been generally HBAO Full whats most demanding setting, while these others have 0-1fps impact, including tessallation
