Setting the affinity for the game removed the stuttering for me

[cobalt eagle]

Not using any sort of plants + changing settings to performance fixed crashes for me

[exotic cradle]

This one's been noted. It's a good work around! 🙂

[exotic cradle]

Will suggest this one 😎

Changing Vsync (disable->enable->disable if using Gsync monitor or enable->disable->re-enable) settings resolves stuttering. Have to do to it on every startup.

So, I'd like to say this. @amber peak Check this out.

I ran vulkan runtime on my PC to see which version I'm using being I have no issues, and to my surprise not even the latest. I'm using last years during the demo that I had to update to, to get the demo to work.

So, while the modern vulkan might work for some people, I don't have the exact version I had to download still on my pc (install file wise) But I do have another version from November, This version actually got a guys game running 35 minutes vs his usual instant crash within 2-3 minutes time.

So, For SOME People. Try this version, And no worries, It's safe, I'm a lil tech dweeb and just trying to help. The only way to obtain the older versions another way is to use the SDK software and donwload it through their library.

But this version since it did help one, might do justice to another now.

@livid hornet Share that one around for some people in DM's and see ^

Disabling hyperthreading fixed my Vulkan device lost crash on my 1080 ti. I was reading up on vulkan and apparently it very much dislikes multithreading, causes it trip over itself and dump the GPU 🤷

[lavish bramble]

thank you for sharing, I'm currently testing mine now and see if it will crash again..seems like mine is crashing every hour of game time.

I've suggested this too, but sadly, a lot of people deem it not worth messing with for just one game, and I guess they're right.

But, you could probably also just set the game to use the core portion of the CPU instead of the threads too using core affinity instead of disabling them entirely.

Ryzen master or pclasso

That's on them though. They don't want to do something that would fix the issue because of a minor inconvenience that's fine. Up to them, just keep crashing if that's the issue. Lead a horse to water and all.

[molten moss]

for me Disabling hyperthreading didnt helped
i can add that it all started happening after Hotfix #6

[dull perch]

I would recommend the smt/hyperthreading to people getting.
Repeated Server=out of memory
Vkfence fail
Vulkan device lost
Gpu crash

At the end of logs

[fast ermine]

how and where

[dull perch]

If you have an AMD processor, you could download ryzen master and disable it there called SMT or through your system bios if you have Intel and it's called. Hyperthreading.

Crashing on Linux: #troubleshooting message

[exotic cradle]

While this is a work around for people with older CPU's and possibly w11 users, It's not something I'd assume would do much. Ryzen 7900x here, and the game is having no issues. The ones who posted that fix was actually what got their game going, they mostly had 7700, 8700, 9700k's and FX cpu's. OR they're on intels latest and w11 is a problem with scheduling still for some. (if they haven't updated) which is typically a thing for a lot of people.

I did find the issue to server saves for some NOT on dedicated and using peer 2 peer hosting in the game with a server set up that way.

I was messing around out of boredom, Turned off the game's core usage from all 12 and 24 thread to 2 cores 0 thread. With players in the server with me, it lagged out for both of us, it would hold up FPS on both ends but horribly, server fps IS a thing in this game. So the other players did lose FPS too, what happened was interesting, The save's didn't work properly for progression and some storage. GASP! lol

So, with messing around there, Goes to show if the performance isn't up to par, its not going to save and progress properly.

intel 8086k, geforce 1080, 32 gb ram. sudden onset constant crashing after nvidia driver update.. Resolved 2 errors shown in vulkaninfo. set priority to abive normal, nothing worked. Fix: reverted to nvidia 546.33 and have been playing without a crash for a good long while now.

Keep an eye out for the following Overlays to help improve Performance:

• SteelSeries Overlay
• GeForce Experience

[dull perch]

It seems that a majority of people who have never had an issue or crash have reported it began with this recent hot fix, have been able to revert their Nvidia driver to 546.33 and their game no longer is crashing.
