[Solved] GPU Fatal Crash Win7

[Esemael]

Hi, guys maybe that will help you.

So as you know there is a common bug with Directx 11/12 and APi for Directx12 in Win7 x64 (Some ver. Win10). Most of you crash at start of game or exact the same place. In my case that was all reflection or mirror section. Is due to issues from API especialy for all shaders and reflections without proper setup. So if you got this error:

Message: Gpu Crash for unknown reasons! Callstack here is probably irrelevant. Check if Breadcrumbs or Aftermath logged anything useful.
File: e:\r6.patch0hotfix2\dev\src\common\gpuapi\src\dx12\gpuapidx12error.cpp
Stream: //R6.Root/R6.Patch0Hotfix2
InternalVersion: 3.0.3214677 P4CL: 4155897

My spec:

CPU i5 6600k/ GPU Evga GTX 970 standard / 16 gb ram 3200 mhz cl16 Win7 64 bit / Directx 11.1

This work for me:
1/ Update yours Windows especialy current package for cpu x64 (january 2020; KB4539601);
2/ Also update yours audio drivers;
3/ Update your GPU drivers if is nvidia use thiers Gforce Experience;
4/ After that start (GForce Experience) optimanization option on CP2077 and chose: windowed/ preffered resolution and maximum setting towards quality. And then run it.

5/ Lunch CP2077 --> Go to the video setup and make sure get 60 on vsync; Also you can enable support for older HDD (I got SSD and it's seems more stable with that, no delays);
6/In graphic setup those options:

Sorry for polish screenshot but it's late and I think that you still get it
6/ I'm using mostly medium and high setting and has'nt occure frames drop. (It's up to yours sepcs wich you will choose/ Ultra for me was too much).
7/ IMPORTANT: only settings that i keep at low are fog and reflection or in polish version mirrors.

Checks if it's work for you! Have a great day or night Hopes that will help some of you. The game and story is just sick/psycho good.

you still haven't gotten a crash? even doing all of this i get a crash every 20-40 minutes, same exact error

could you share your settings exactly?

THIS helped me. (seemingly, for now...)

I had crashes during character creation and right when starting a game.

Turning everything to low or off, especially the mirrors and reflections. I could turn it back up afterwards but kept the mirrors and reflections off. Runs now on Win7 with a gtx970 and a 6600k
Honestly looks fine if you just crank the lod and shadows up and keep the rest on low...well...at least playable!

i really wish it helped me, everything on minimum settings doesn't help at all, i still cant go 10 minutes with out this crash

I tried so many things that it's hard to pin down. Before that I deleted my appdata folders for cyberpunk and let the game regenerate them. I also used the graphics presets to turn everything to minimum. Maybe that turned something off that does not show up in the individual options. No idea. Hope this won't crash on me again, played for half an hour or so now. Good luck!

so i just did that, deleted my appdata, launched the game, set all presets to minimum, loaded into my save, looted 2 chests and walked into a room (that didnt crash before) and just instantly crashed. it took longer to restart the game than i got to play before a crash. seriously i dont understand why this is happening to me every 2-5 minutes at this point.

I think what's infurating me the most is that for 10+ hours at launch i was able to play with no issue then they pushed a hotfix that broke everything. and now they're radio silent about breaking what wasn't broken with zero options for us to rollback. furthermore my game runs like fucking butter with out the crashes, 60-120 fps with out even doing much tweaking and with sacrificing almost nothing to make it work.. on a medium line rig (rtx 2070 super i9 9700k). im pissed that it's gone from being a fine experience to literally crashing every 5 minutes

Hm we had very different kinds of crashes from the start then. I really could not even start a game because the mirrors in the beginning of the game crashed me. Turning off all reflections as much as possible circumvented that. So far no further crash but it's only been like an hour.

Well, turns out the game still crashes often now. Can't even leave my apartment complex past the boxer. We need patches asap

 

[CoffeeKittyy]

Yep... literally a full day since launch and not even a hint at a patch. the only reason i tried to play this launch day was to avoid spoilers but i can't even do that. i cant even refund the game either and i can't even play it.

Okay. people are pulling out pitchforks and losing their mind over tiny little shit with the game and i literally can't even run it on a 2000$ computer after spending over 16 hours troubleshooting.
