My game crashes VERY frequently. I can't run any dungeons solo, because I will almost certainly crash while doing it, thereby losing my progress.

I'm just trying to finish the thing, and not being able to grind reliably is killing my enjoyment of this game.

It doesn't happen predictably, and doesn't happen when I'm doing any specific thing in particular.

Not even able to guess based on time passed. Sometimes I can come back and rejoin my party and instant crash, every now and then I can get over an hour.

It's not a hardware problem or driver problem.

I don't even know what else to do about it. I had been hearing others had the problem, but that quieted down a few patches ago. It never got better for me. This has persisted since I got the game about a week or so after launch.

Is it really just me now? I really want to make some progress, but side quests and cellars can only help so much and I don't always have friends on. Playing a dungeon over and over in hopes it won't crash this time is extremely frustrating. Can make it through maybe 1 out of 3 times.

Even if it was just once out of ten it would be too much to want to keep trying.

I’vee never had D4 crash, through the betas to now. I’m also running the game on Windows and Linux using AMD and Nvidia cards, and MacOS, and haven’t ever had the game crash. If your game is crashing even once per day, there’s something wrong somewhere.

The only time I’ve had to deal with spontaneous crashing like this it turned out to be a motherboard issue. Replacing the motherboard fixed the issue.

All this is assuming you're playing on a PC and not a console.
