Since the last update I experience frequent CTDs everywhere in the game when on foot. Especially after harvesting large amounts of mats I can be sure that on the way home the screen simply freezes with the sound hanging up.

My exocraft also disappears with only the icon visible. I can use it though. It reappears when I park it on the garage.

Just lost another hour of playtime with tons of upgrades and more than 10000 cobalt. Not amusing.

Anyone else having the same problems? My drivers are updated.

Tks.

Win7 here (still ;-)

Rare, isolated CTDs here. Seems to be when the screen is very "busy" at the same time as a lot of CPU activity. For example, the only recent one of that type was returning to the Anomaly to finish a mission. Right after the Anomaly swooped into view after summoning it ... BOOM a CTD.

However, I can almost always trigger a CTD by using the quick menu camera to take a screen shot. At least nine times out fo ten it will CTD. That one has been reported to the HG zendesk tracker along with the requested logs and data dumps.

I do use the Nvidia overlay. Whether or not that is enabled seems to have no effect on whether the camera mode screen shots CTD.

My advice is to always carry a save point or save beacon and do a manual save whenever you've finished doing something that has required considerable time or effort, like finding that last #$%!% fish in the deep ocean.

Thanks,
my machine is actually quite a beast, so CPU overload should not be a problem. Most of the crashes happen while navigating through caves. No trouble with the anomaly. Alt tab also triggers an immediate CTD and exiting the game as well. But I will follow your advice with the save beacon - which I actually am carrying around all the time.

Can't say that I have these issues. For what it's worth, I'm not using multiplayer, NVidia overlay or GoG galaxy.

All these three options are notorious at times and cause CTD's or other problems.

I do not have a lot of games but several of these have also reported the Alt - TAB problem and I seem to have avoided those by using the Windows key instead. I am also not using the Windowed mode of those games.

It seems that the latest NVIDIA driver update solved the problem with the frequent CTDs.

However my exocraft still have the habit of disappearing below the surface, leaving only the icon. I can board them and drive around (weird) but they only reappear when summond in the garage. When there is a cave below the surface they "fall through" and I end up in a cave with no exit.
