So started as Nomad - when you enter Night City and there is a bunch of cutscenes - when it goes to load it looks like I am in a car and the game crashes every single time. Tried lowering gfx settings but didnt make a difference. I'm not using the GOG launcher (but disabled overlay as some suggested). Disabled steam overlay too.
Tried a new game as corpo - as i enter the office and hit "sit down" it also crashes. Not tried street kid yet but assuming there will be a point of crash there too.
Any suggestions?
EDIT to update system specs:
OS: Windows 10 10.0.19041 Build 19041
CPU: Intel i7 960 @ 3.2Ghz
Memory: 16GB
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 390
Running on HDD (SSD out of space)
I know it is an old system.. but so far I've never had an issue playing anything. Seems a tonne of people have the exact same issue I have - crashing at the "exact" same spot (Sitting down in corpo start, or entry to city in nomad and getting a "glimps" of sitting in a car I think).
Appreciate anything to get this working - not a complain post but "can you help me" post
I know it has tonnes of bugs and I need an upgrade
EDIT again: AVX fix exe worked for me and am now sitting in the car
So yeah they just need to release an official fix..
I've had similar, but not exactly the same. Ranging from unplayable due to weird graphics effects that look like V is permanently under brain attack from Johhny (even before you get the chip) , the game just plain not loading after a restart from a save file (automatic or manual), to weird graphical bugs like NPC's starting to float, NPC gangs becoming invulnerable, weapon stats staying on screen until you restart, character clipping through previously solid walls/floors. Missions being impossible to complete as dooers wouldn't open (game didn't even recognise it was a door) objects and key enemies not appearing at crucial moments so they couldn't be scanned or interacted with..... There seems to be more of these issues when playing as a "Corpo" V, but no proof
The most common being the "Shift", "CTRL", "C" and "F" failing to work until restart.
I found the only solution that worked for me was to delete every saved game on the PC, then restart with a complete fresh "V"...
Tedious, I was already fed up with the interminable "dialogues" after the first run.
I think it's a memory issue, memory is being used somewhere and not released again.
Since then I ran task manager on a second screen, and watched the memory stats, A pretty crude tool, but might give an idea. I found that memory on the game itself was growing and not "refreshing" at all, I have 32 gig, and this wasn't even close to getting full (CCP2077 was claiming around 18 gig and growing) but weirdly other apps not related, like the "Steam client webhelper" spawned multiple times, each consuming >500 meg and growing, killing these processes didn't help. Naturally they restarted, but with only around 30 meg each, and grew quickly. I think once the issue starts, the only fix is to restart afresh.
If you have a browser running in the back ground, that may exhibit the same "feature", spawning multiple child processes that all grow alarmingly. I had firefox accidentally on during one session, the thing started chewing through 500+ meg while "idle" and kept growing, plus spawned 3 more "child" processes that started eating ram.
I think a few would have browsers running in the back ground, for guides, to help working out missions/bugs etc.
I checked out other titles, and saw a similar situation, but none had these secondary apps spawning so many child processes or growing to anywhere near the same size. The only one that came close was Gaijin's "Warthunder" which may account for the myriad of issues that publication has.
So why does only this game seem to have this "feature" on my PC? Maybe it's just an evolution thing, TBH I tend to wait a year or so before buying any title, but I admit I got sucked into this one. (never again)
Sorry for the long reply, hope it might help
