game freezes into unrecoverable crash

  • Try changing the Render API to another one. From Vulkan to DirectX or vice versa;
  • Be sure to disable all undervolt. You could do this with software like MSI Afterburner or similar. Undervolt of the graphics card or CPU acceleration may negatively affect the game;
  • Write the full specification of your computer. It can be obtained through the Steam client. In the upper-left corner there will be "Help" -> "System Information". Copy the entire text and paste it into the spoiler so that it does not take up much space;
  • Find possible Crush Dumps. Put them in one zip archive and upload them to the forum. Crush Dumps are in two places:
    • "..\steamapps\common\Project8Staging\game\bin\win64\project8_*_*_*_*_*.mdmp",
    • "..\Steam\dumps\crash_project8.exe_*_*.dmp";
  • Record a video showing the bug. Perhaps it will be clear from the video what the problem is. Be sure to turn on the display of the load on the system. This can be done through the Nvidia overlay, or just open the task manager next to the game;
  • There are often problems with RAM, if all the previous steps did not give anything clear, then try to do something with it. For example, pull out one of the dice if you have several of them. Or limit the frequency to 2666 if you have very fast ones.
