frogthroat: I think after the launch troubles everyone and their grandma agrees to this.
ast486: LoL.... yeah....
When I have CTDs in a game I try to find a patern, hoping that maybe it will lead me to a solution. There is no data or history of this working for me, but just my own blind hope. If for example a game always crashes after 2 hours, I would guess maybe a memory leak because of the poor history of Bethesda games lazy developers.
If it is truly random, and it does not matter what "area" in the game you are in, or what you are doing (looting, combat, walking around with many NPCs on the screen) then maybe it's just another bug?
I remember when trying to fix the crash bug in GTA V I was checking my hardware because my PC was brand new. One person in a forum figured out that in certain instances (for whatever reason) their computer was switching the graphics from being "drawn" by the GPU over to the CPU. So he said he turned off the CPUs little graphics chip thingy in Windows, so the game would use his GPU only. Worked fine after that apparently.
For me it was simply having two monitors. Everything was brand new, nothing but Win 10 and the Rockstar launcher installed, but the game would crash every single time when using the Rockstar launcher. Finally I randomly unplugged one of my monitors (do not remember why) and the game ran perfectly fine. So GTA V or the Rockstar launcher couldn't handle more than one monitor for some reason.
Random weirdness sometimes. :/
