ptx34: In 40 years of gaming (God, I'm old) I have never seen a game crash as often as this. It took a year of patches for me to be able to finish character creation. I've strugggled through multiple crashes in the prologue, for instance "only" twelve attempts to look in a mirror. Now I think I've hit the killer in Interlude, every time I move up the corridor "hey hey we're chill" kills the game in exactly the same spot every time. After 15 attempts I'm finally out. Don't blame video drivers, don't blame sound drivers, blame CDPR, this POS should never have been put on sale
With due respect: if everybody or even every tenth had the issues you describe the world would be burning. As this clearly(!) isn't the case, maybe your setup is the problem.
The game has a lot of issues, broken promises and obvious bugs. But your crashes seems to be VERY specific to YOU.
