7th Heaven / Help Needed: Frequent Crashes During Late-Game Boss Fights in FFVII Remake

« on: 2024-08-20 07:37:34 »

I’m encountering a frustrating issue with Final Fantasy VII Remake and hoping someone here might have a solution. I’ve been playing through the game and recently started hitting a problem with frequent crashes during late-game boss fights, specifically during the battle against the Whisper Harbinger and the final fight with Sephiroth.

Issue Details:

• Frequency of Crashes: The crashes occur intermittently but seem to happen more frequently during intense phases of the boss fights. I’ve experienced this issue around 5-6 times in the past few days.

• Timing of Crashes: The crashes usually occur during high-action moments, particularly when there are multiple special effects and large-scale attacks on screen. It seems to happen just as the boss executes a big move or when I use a Limit Break.

• Error Messages: There is no specific error message; the game simply freezes and then exits to the desktop. Sometimes, the screen goes black before the crash.
  

System Specs:

• Operating System: Windows 10

• Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
  

• CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K
  

• RAM: 16 GB
  

• Game Version: Latest update as of August 2024
  

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Verified the integrity of the game files through the game launcher.

• Updated graphics drivers to the latest version.

• Checked for overheating issues and cleaned the internal components of the PC.

• Lowered graphics settings to reduce strain on the system.

• Tried playing in windowed mode instead of fullscreen.

Request for Assistance:
Has anyone else experienced similar issues? If so, did you find any fixes or workarounds that helped stabilize the game during these critical moments? Any advice on additional steps I can take or settings I might need to adjust would be greatly appreciated.

I’m eager to finish the game but these crashes are making it quite challenging. Thanks in advance for your help![/list]
