The Witcher 3 with the Next-Gen update and both patches / hotfixes keeps crashing every 10-15min with Raytracing enabled.

But not every day. Yesterday for example I played for about 2h without a single crash.
Today, it crashes exactly about 10-15min into the game.

When Raytracing is disabled, it works. But it looks so much better with RT on, what a shame.

Has anybody the same issue and found a solution without disabling RT completely?

I installed the newest drivers, windows updates and no stability issue with my system:
i7-12700K, RTX 4080, 64GB RAM, SSD and CPU/GPU temps is around 60°

UPDATE:
It crashes now even with RT disabled :(

I'm having the same sort of problems and I suspect it is an Nvidia driver Issue. I'm going to 100% fans to see what happens.

I just had same problem. I'm trying DX11.

Nah. Same, Crash in the first 20 Seconds. What O load of crap. I'm totally shattered . So looking forward to playing this and now not so much. I'm going to try and sort something out to at least play it. i'll post here if something works.
I checked for updates and low and behold there is an update. Here is hoping it's the right update so I can Play this game.

Yep it works. Finally I can play. The code should have been done already considering this is an old game now.

Pathetic IMHO.
