Game consistently crashes in scenes on a mirror

[ToyboxK]

Here's a tip. I run the game on Win 7 64 bit and had the same problem. One of the things I did was go into the settings and at the bottom there is a setting for mirror reflections.

Set this to the lowest setting. Now, the game still does occasionally crash with mirrors still, so I do avoid them, but before I was crashing EVERY time a mirror was used in the game. However ever since I did this, I can get past most of the scenes involving mirrors without a crash.

Yea that's what I originally did and it worked for a while. But ultimately it fails. The FPS limiting option was the ONLY method that worked for me to get past the cut scenes from Johnny's dressing room.

So yeah, told I would've updated you all.
I installed Windows 10 on a partition, running Windows 10 Pro 1909, plus the memory pool config fix.
Now I can get past those scenes without crashing, and seems like I also gained a few extra fps, so now also the scenes are smooth. They were laggy before.
So I suggest you all to make a partition if you want to keep Windows 7 and install Windows 10 to play Cyberpunk properly.

I hope I didn't speak too soon, let's see how the game will perform on the long run.

Any difference with 1.05 patch? Anyone tested?

Upd.
Well, the bug is still there.

I have a Win7 system with i5 6600K and a GeGorce 1060 6GB.

I have a similar setup with i5 6600 and GTX 1050 Ti that crashes very frequently in scenes with mirrors. Anybody figured out a good fix yet?

I think the only way is to run Windows 10. Maybe it has something to do with Win7 Directx12 support, but I do not know for sure. My hopes are very low that they will ever patch it...

I tried the settings, and found nothing worked then I lowered the game resolution. Actually managed to carry on through the interlude and into the next stage without a single crash.

if you like to stick with win7 you can try to limit the fps for example at 25 in the "video" settings (just for the mirror scene), this helped me out most of the time. It helped out many other people too, but it may crash nonetheless sometimes. In that case load again. Some mirror scenes can even be avoided or skipped by pressing "C". But I sincerely hope they manage to bring a fix with the next patches.

So, I too am running win7 64bit. 1070.
I've just had success doing 2 things. Turning LOD down all the way and mirror quality all the way up. And running in compatibility for win7.
I think its trying to Downsample the reflection for every frame. And it's overdoing it. Something about the compatibility might be sending some code for win10 to the driver and the driver can't handle it. Likely still rhe downsample.
With low LOD there's little that needs sampling and with high mirror quality the computer isn't trying to downsample.
That's my hypothesis anyway. If this works for anyone else, please say so.
