So I have this very strange issue when getting within 50 meters of nomads, entering Jackson plains (from the city side) or sometimes entering the Badlands, instantly crashes the game. The weird thing is I have experienced very few other bugs up until this point (apart from some minor / funny ones) and if you avoid the areas mentioned above, the game will play completely fine for hours with no issues whatsoever. Missions, side jobs, gigs are all fine as long as they don't involve getting within 50 meters of nomads, entering Jackson plains or entering the Badlands obviously. Aiming at the problem areas with a sniper scope or with the scanner also cause the game to crash from A LOT further away. Quick saving or manual saving within 100m causes the game to crash in the loading screen when trying to reload the save, forcing me to revert to an older save which is further than 100m away. This bug is very game breaking as I have 8 or 9 side jobs and 1 gig (rescuing Hwabango, where he is collected by nomads) which are impossible to complete as the game crashes during them. This is a new issue to, when I first started playing I had no problems and did many missions with Panam and the Nomads. Then one day seemingly out of nowhere this started happening. Here are some Hardware and software specs + some info that might be of use.
OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)
CPU: Intel I5-9600K 3.7Ghz (OC'd to around 4.5Ghz)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 (MSI Gaming x Trio)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 @ 2133Mhz
The Drive the game is on: Toshiba P300 3TB 3.5 Inch HDD @ 7200RPM
Launcher: Steam
Yes, I've updated my drivers before anyone asks. I'm using GRD Version 460.89. I've also tried closing unnecessary background programs that might be interfering, disabling the steam overlay, etc. All of them changed nothing for me. Any suggestions on how to fix or info on when it will be patched are greatly appreciated. TIA.
EDIT:
[SOLVED]
Don't know why I didn't try this straight away......... Basically steam has a feature called "Verify integrity of game files", I've known about this for a while and have fixed issues with other games in the past from using it. Completely forgot it existed I guess. Anyway I ran it and.......17.5GB FAILED TO VERIFY! Not sure how so much of it became corrupted or why, but it's a miracle the game was running as good as it was! Since doing this I have had literally zero crashes or bugs of any serious note.
Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions!
