I got an NVidia Geforce RTX 2080, intel i7, and 12 GB of RAM, my PC, and Graphics card are up to date and I recently cleaned my PC. My PC should be more than capable of running this game, however, this game crashes my entire PC at random points, shutting it off. I can’t exactly pinpoint what is causing it, but I know it’s not my PC overheating because I made sure to monitor my core temp while playing the game. I had a similar problem with Rainbow Six, and it was ‘fixed’ by running the Vulcan version of the game. Please help
Shutting Off PC
Depending on you settings the game can crash when the RAM is excided as it happened with my game when I tried streaming at the same time.
I have my Graphics set like this:
Antilasing - High
Effects - Middle
Shadow - High
Texture - Epic
Rendering - High
Distance - High
Do you have anything else running besides the Game, maybe some Programms with high RAM usage. Chrome is a RAM eater for example.
There was another one set on Middle, but maybe I better get a screenshot in the evening to show it to you.
What does exactly happen when your game crashes and the PC shuts down? Any Error Messages or does it turn off completely?
This Game seems to use a lot of RAM, most Issues I heard of were related to that and 12 GB don’t sound optimal compared to your 2080.
Did you check your System with some Diagnostics? Windows has some included tools to check your RAM and other stuff.
You might also be able to optimize your game’s performance with some additional command line arguments, that you can enter in the Epic Games options. ("-notexturestreaming" and/or “-useavailablecores” But those only affect your Processor and Graphics Card’s performance.)
One of my Teammates also got a similar Issue, but he is getting a message that says “Memory Error”, while he got 16 GB RAM, where we didn’t find any Issues. While I have absolutely no problems with my 16 GB.
You’d have to describe the way it “shuts down”.What happens on screen can really tell you what is going on so you can diagnose it (if at all).
I tend to get crashes on my computer and I can tell it has something to do with the videocard or its output onto my tv as the screen sometimes shows white noise…other times whitenoise but i can still hear the computer’s audio or that windows is still working but my videos all white noise. Or it just plain locks up with noise.
This happens to me from time to time like once a week but I normally have the computer on close to 10 + hours a day…
Check your error logs and it doesn’t hurt to use boost , it closes alot of background apps and frees up alot
You clearly have an unstable system. Can’t really blame any game for that.
Could it be a number of things. Including your power supply. You should be looking for actual, hardware solutions instead of trying to ignore it with software “workarounds”. This shit’s only bound to get worse for you.
I have a video of it happening when I was trying to get help from R6
But I can’t post links here…
Essentially it’s like if I unplugged my computer mid game

oh, that says alot. Check your power supply specs against your Mobo and see if your PS Wattage checks out against the mobo minimum wattage requirements, just be ready to acknowledge that your PS is about to go for whatever reason either age or that its meeting a bare minimum. If you’re hardware is draining that means you should intent on upgrading the wattage to something that will meat peak loads.
Another thing to acknowledge is proper air flow in your ATX case (you should have an atx case that isn’t from the 90s–i actually had a videocard burn out a cable wire while running on a pentium case from the 90s where my hardware was from the mid 2000s), and run some kind of hardware monitor on temperates on CPUs on the mobo and videocard and see if all of them aren’t running too hot over long periods of time.

and bingo was his name-o! My 600w powers supply wasn’t enough for my graphics card that recommended a minimum of 650w, now all my games are working better than ever! thank you!
