    Still can't even make a character. Crashes on 1st screen. Every time.

    Having the same problem as many here. I can play for about 5 minutes and then my monitors turn off. I can still hear game sounds, the only way to fix is to hard reset the PC.

    i9-11900KF 3.50ghz
    32GB Ram
    3090GTX
    SSD NVMe

    Its pretty frustrating when I spend over $100 and cant even play the game. Has anyone found an actual fix for this? Or do the Devs have to provide an update with something wrong in their code?

    I've also been plagued by many a crash.
    After updating Bios, updating and rolling back GPU drivers and multiple sensor monitor applications to see what's happening at the time of crash - I still can't pinpoint what is happening at crash.

    My crash event is a full system power off - no launcher error or hang. Computer off - full stop.
    HW is a Ryzen7 3700x CPU, Radeon RX 5700XT GPU, and 32GB of RAM.

    After some testing with settings, I have found that the crash event will not happen (at least after a full hour of playing now, finally) if I keep the game at a Fullscreen or windowed "1920x1080" resolution.
    It seems that, at even high graphics level, the crash will not happen.
    I have FPS locked to 30 and v-sync enabled.

    However, If I play in a resolution higher of the same aspect ratio 2560x1440, even on the lowest graphics setting, I will get the crash.
    If I try to run "fullscreen Windowed", it generally sets my resolution to some value - but the ratio is showing a greyed out 3840x2160 resolution - this will also crash out. My monitor native resolution is 2560x1440, so if full-screen window is using native monitor resolution, this is a condition I find fails.

    So, all in all, it might be worth trying to limit the resolution to see if you can play in the mean time while intrepid finds the issue on their side.
    As many have said here, I can have other AAA games at max resolution and graphics and not crash. It doesn't have pretty FPS, but it also doesn't lock up the computer.
    Running OCCT stress tests on CPU/GPU/VRAM/DDR RAM, and able to stress to 80C without issue, where I never get above 75C with AoC on.
    It's not a straight Power, heat, or VRAM limit issue - It seems like AOC does some spike usages that flub up some HW, which other existing games doesn't.

    Hope this stop-gap helps some of you.

    friend has the same issue.

    running a 3080 and 11th gen processor on win 11

    game gets to 11/12% and he hears his gfx card fans turn off. game then loads in very slowly layer by layer and then he crashes.
  • Hi all!

    The team is still investigating reports of this.

    In addition to sending your logs immediately after having crashed, please also include a dxdiag file so we can better understand what's going on <3

    Problem : Black screen then crash after starting the game from launcher SINCE I had a GPU crash while in game last week.

    CPU use is 100% during the black screen
    GPU : RTX 3080
    CPU : i9 9900k
    RAM : 64go

    Are there any steps you can take to reproduce the issue consistently?

    1 - Start launcher
    2 - Login to Alpha Two
    3 - Click Launch Game
    4 - The game window opens, but stays black for a few seconds before closing

    So I can't launch the game at all since last week-end.
    Tried windows 11 update from 10, bios flash, game / launcher reinstal / repair / Drivers update.

    I have this bug since sunday during the last week-end of test, I remember having a crash ingame after several hours playing, with something like "not enough GPU momory" but I didn't remember it well.

    I attached todays logs from both launcher + AOC folders + Dxdiag + the logs from the last time I was online last week-end, as there is a file saying "Passthrough is not supported, GL is disabled".

    Fortunately the game runs well on my laptop, but looking forward to a fix !
    Hope these files will help !

    For those of you that are crashing due to VRAM, have you tried lowering your settings? If so, did that fix the issue?

    the problem is.. recommended ram specs are too low.... the true ram requirements for Ashes of Creation, are // minimum - 32GB duel channel 6000+ MT/S ...... I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I PLAY ON A LAPTOP WITH INTERGRATED GRAPHICS AND I had use intel arc boost to have more vram... and it helped a little bit... DUE TO UE5 GRAND WORLD RENDERING, COMMON OR OUTDATED SYSTEMS CANT HANDLE THE RENDER.................................................................................................................................................................................................................... THE SOLUTION IS ......................... HAVE 2-PART SERVERS PER SERVER, RENDER THE PLAYER NEEDED DATA ON THE RENDER REALM (NEEDED DATA ONLY) SO TO ENSURE NO CRASHES, THEN, IF ANY RENDER PROBLEMS EXIST ON THE MAIN SERVER, IT WILL ONLY BE GRAPHICAL ISSUES...................................................................................................................................................................... ............

    GPU CRASH DUMP on 1st screen every time.

    I have updated my Windows 11, ALL my drivers, my BIOS, and the AoC launcher, in addition to changing almost every setting of my BIOS in hopes of correcting this issue, still no change in result. My system exceeds the minimum requirements and I still have not made it past the first screen post-launch. Below is my hardware. Please help me. It's been three weeks of this. I'm very frustrated.

    This is the same issue I've been having except i cant even get into the character select screen to be able to change the graphics settings. I was able to edit the game user settings and that at least bought me a few seconds but not enough to actually have everything load in.

    I see that my CPU maxes out all its cores and then the pc shuts down. This is the only game its happening with so far

    still an issue.
  • Ancient KonoAncient Kono Member, Alpha Two
    Game continues to crash and frezze, sometimes displaying "Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource..."

    Going thorugh the logs I can find "
    [1125/093933.578:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(426)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is disabled";

    Tracing it to the AMD and Unreal Forums this is related to the support of DX12;
    (Maybe related to background changes for the upcoming lighting update? Raytracing?)

    The alleged fix is to switch from DX12 to DX11, a setting for which I can not find an option in the launcher or ingame graphics settings;

    Attached Logs

    Hope this will help to fix this.

    This happened to me last night. I've had a few 3 or 4 game crashes back to desktop since the A2 launch but never a hard shut down before.

    Specs:
    Ryzen 5900x - 6800xt - 32gb Ram - 1440p

    Check on temps seemed fine so not really sure what happened.

    Was playing the game fine for 45mins or so just chopping wood then my PC just hard shutdown, no error or anything just black. Wouldn't boot for a few minutes. Did reboot, haven't tried playing again but will see what happens when I do.

    Was running smooth from first day of Beta 2 til 11/22, then constant crashed

    Have tried everything including:
    Update GPU drivers
    Flash Bios
    Update chip drivers

    Also used MSI Afterburner to throttle GPU, it worked from 11/23 to 11/29
    Setting Core Clock to -50 and memory clock to -20 let me play for hours, but as of 11/30 this no longer works

    Seiken - Castus here.

    For some reason the forums preferred my alts name rather than my main.

    For people running into the no-display found issue here is how to fix it.

    3090's are the just in a bad spot and idk why. I ran into the no display found issue and did EVERYTHING under the sun. the ONLY fix for this is to limit my frames. I've set mine anywhere from 30-40 for the time being with zero issues. Haven't tweaked beyond that because I care not to.

  • XternXtern Member, Alpha Two
    I can confirm this happens to me as well ... it seems an ongoing issue with VRAM bleeding, especially with RTX 3090 (thats what I have) and it seems to be similar to what New World launch back in 2022 was causing.

    I noticed in my case is to have nothing else opened except for the game itself, at low settings with 60 FPS cap on my native 1440p ( motion blur disabled )

    I'm having this problem as well with the GPU dump crash. I have switch the super resolution (VSR) to DLAA and it seem to keep the game running longer than it usually does before crashing. I have tried lowing my resolution, dropping all quality setting to low, particle density to low even though it just auto switch back to high, and even tried to turn off VSR but it just auto switches to Auto. I also went to my Nvidia control panel and put all intrepid programs to open in Nvidia by default. Monitored my CPU and GPU usage, CPU never goes above 40%, GPU doesn't go above 20%, Ram doesn't go above 50%.

    I followed the recommendations on the original post on this thread and submitted a ticket with all of the information I could gather to Intrepid. I've continued to play despite frequent crashes - particularly in high traffic areas. Unfortunately my hard drive now has <600 MB free (it's a 1 TB SSD). This has got to be some debug files, but I can't find any that are large enough to cause this problem. I'm going to have to uninstall the game probably, just to keep my computer functional. If anyone knows where the culprits might be, please reply.
    If you try turning off those Launcher debugs I strongly suggest you turn them off after the first crash, just in case.

    Update: I found them:
    %localappdata%\AOC\Saved\Crashes
    I swear I looked there before, but I must have missed them as the earlier crash folders were ~5MB and the ones after turning the Launcher debug options on were 3-5 GB.
    So definitely only leave those debugs on for one crash then clean them out!

    Guys, if you have a 13 or 14 series Intel CPU, this is very most likely related to that and not your VRAM as it makes it sound. I hope this message reaches enough people, but if this sounds like your case then the only solution that will work reliably is to update your motherboard's BIOS. Flashing that will almost certainly fix the issue (for those with the appropriate CPU).

    If people started crashing way more than usual AFTER a patch... How exactly is it a hardware issue? lol.
  • gedistagedista Member, Alpha Two
    oK guys i managed to find a fix for me. I hope i can help you too. Well i heard my GPU going Crazy with the Fans just before every crash happened. So i downloaded MSI Afterburner and made a profile and made the fans like the screenshot. So if i have less than 80 degress, the fans should work less. After that my GPU is constantly at 75-76 playing AOC, and the fans are at 1000rpm. Playing for 3 days now with no problems at all

  • NeurotoxinNeurotoxin Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    I think this might be a configuration mismatch issue. Often the first thing that happens with any update is that I crash with a memory leak within just a couple minutes of up-time. If I start by clearing the cache and resetting video to default in-game before reconfiguring settings to my usual ones, I avoid this issue. This is why I am suspicious that there's a discrepancy between settings, cache, and config that leads to the memory leak.

    I have the same issue with my RTX 3080 Palit GamingPro OC. From 1 min to 1 hour randomly black screen fan boost and ( thats all folks ) then i need to reboot my computer. Does not depend on the game graphics settings etc.

    The joke is it start happening after a two months since Alpha Two started and i was played without any crashes at all.

    CPU - R5 5600x
    GPU - RTX 3080 Palit GamingPro OC
    MB - Asrock B450M Pro 4 R2
    RAM - 32Gb Kingston
    PSU - SuperFlower Leadex SE 1200W Platinum

    Im sure that it is not the hardware bug and it cant be the hardware bug any players have on many different computer configurations.

    It is the only one game that crash my computer. And only one game on UE5 with this type of issue. I playing STALKER 2 on the same engine with no issues.
    No issues with any benchmarks. No issues playing hours in Cyberpunk in 4K with RTX on. etc.

    Later next day January 19

    The problem has been solved for me!!!

    I took out the video card, cleaned all the contacts to a mirror shine, also blew and brushed the pci-e slot on the motherboard and inserted it several times, took out the power and put it back on, reassembled everything and the problem disappeared completely. For a third hour now, the game has been playing calmly in normal mode, showing me 60% cooling speed in 4K on ultras without jerks and overloads. Apparently, the fault was not the full contact in the pci-e connector, it's funny that other games were not so critical and did not crash the system.
