Concerning random crashes that seem to effect higher end GPUs

Maezriel

So I've been experiencing moments where my entire computer crawls to a halt and Ashes is the only program to do this. @LieutenantToast has seen a vod of this and @MargaretKrohn happened to see it live this morning.

I've had it happen on two separate PCs one running a 2080s, i7-9700k, 16g RAM and my current one w/ a 2080s, i9-10900K, and 32g RAM

I know Jahlon has had similar issues as well on his 3090, although I'm not sure of the particulars of his issues.

I have completely wiped my PCs and even cranked the graphics down which minimizes the issue to every few hours but doesn't solve it completely.

Honestly the fact that it happens on such a variety of PCs and (seemingly) more so w/ those that have high end GPUs I'm wondering if an option to cap FPS could help and could possibly be added into the game in the very near future.

I dont have this issue yet using high end PC specs. (crossing my fingers with that 'yet')

AMD 5950x
Nvidia 3090

I have played the game at 1080p, 1440p, and 4k for several hours with no crashes or issues graphically or with fps. Although I am settling to run the game in 1440p since I dont notice a huge improvement in textures at 4k.

Zero fps lag in most areas although public dungeons are lower in fps, sort of expected I suppose.

I tend to run the game on max settings, 1440p, with another MMO game open in the background and twitch or netflix playing on the other monitor.

I have
I9 10900F
32 ram
3080
game run perfect and i stream it too . never lags run perfect on 4k

maybe drivers need to be up to date . then again could be anything

What's been most wonderful about this problem is how incredibly intermittent it is. I've also had people on a 1080 run the game smooth as butter and here I am crashing.

I also have random crashes quite often. But just since the last patch. Previously, at the preview weekend and first day of the alpha it was fine.

I have:
- Ryzen 5800X
- 3080
- 32 GB RAM
- freshly setup systems and newest drivers...

I've noticed AoC uses a lot of RAM, 10GB of it. Combined with your OS (which often needs around 4GB) and whatever other processes you have going on, it can max your system's RAM, causing everything to freeze and crash.

I've recorded task manager as the game's running to show the issue. Luckily, I haven't crashed recently because of it, but it's still an issue to be addressed.

Sounds like you guys might be running into some memory leaks I have yet to experience anything bad I'm using i7 and 980 ti. I would suggest posting what your doing and when its crashing cause if we can replicate it we can grab dump logs and see what is exactly causing these types of crashes.

Yea, that's one of the reasons I think it happens less w/ my upgraded rig b/c I now have twice the RAM.

Just playing and the times and activities are all over the place, really doesn't seem to make a huge difference.

I considered memory leaks but I don't know why that would seemingly affect higher end cards more than lower or why it would happen to my two entirely separate computers.

Hrmmm, I have been monitoring my system and my ram usage sits around 7000 to 8500 megs. I haven't seen it go past that so far. I haven't seen any evidence of memory leaks yet. For ram or video memory.

32gb ram

I am running a 3080TI

Are you over clocking your gear? Maybe it makes it unstable, if you are, knock it down a few notches to see. The game not being optimize is using as much resources as you can provide.

I'm not overclocking anything, the lack of optimization is why I think it might be an FPS problem

nah.
I9
32G
2080TI

Looks like New world is having a similar issue, they are thinking it is the FPS not being capped as well. I think whats happening is that the game wants to take more needs from the graphic card , the problem is the cards programming wants to oblige that and give it more so it turns up the power. I see this happening with AOC on my 3080ti.

Yea looks like the EVGA models might be a common denominator

Could be, try this video, it might be interesting for the matter. jays 2 cents https://youtu.be/KLyNFrKyG74
