First of all, pc specs so it's easier to see what might be causing the issue:
- R5 7600x
- RX 7800XT OC Nitro
- 64 DDR5 RAM
- Pop OS, Linux
Ok, the game constantly crashes. For both the Vulcan and DX11 version. I'll list the core issues in bullets so it won't get lost in the wall of text:
Vulcan Version:
Flickers when trying to launch the game. [FIXED]
- Changed the window settings in GRB.ini to windowless.
Both Vulcan and DX11 Version:
After a bit after launch when playing, will get an error with an old school window pop up that says the game detected corruption in its files. It will give an option to either continue or stop and exit. Continuing will result in the UI not properly loading, such as items icons in the tools wheel disappearing. And not long after, the game crashes.
Game sometimes crashes even without the file corruption error pops up.
Once, it caused graphical glitches (fragmentation? Forgot the word.) on the screen, like went full no signal CRT TV. With my friend's voice on discord looping. Froze my pc and had to force shutdown.
Once, after not quite a few crashes, we stopped. And my pc froze after a bit while I was watching YouTube. My pc has never froze before outside of gaming.
- Tried a lot of things to fix. Deleted the cache file scimitar_vkpipelinecache.bin and world map vulcan forge to get rid of old corrupted cache. Still didn't work.
- Tried disabling Ubisoft overlay. Didn't work.
- Google says to use Proton GE. Didn't work.
- Google says to disable AI companions special abilities. Didn't work.
- Disabled Steam Overlay. Didn't work.
Like, wtf man. I know I had this pc for only a year, but I have quite a few games. Never had I run into an issue of the game refusing to work. If only I didn't like the game, nor was am I trying to play with my friend who also likes it. I would've refunded the damn thing.
If anyone knows a fix, would very much appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
