Computer restarts when I enter “The Armory”

Bought this game on steam a couple days ago and can’t progress very far…

Whenever I take a few steps into the zone named “The armory” my computer restarts itself. No error message or blue screen just an instant black screen then turns back on on its own.

I’ve tried on two separate characters and it’s the same on both.

Game runs smooth in every other zone. I’m playing through steam launcher with a rtx 2070 and a 9900k
Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey, Welcome to the forums…

LE is obviously in Beta so things like this unfortunately do happen…

You havent posted much system information or the game logs but your situation seems to similar to what others have had.

LE can get very unstable even if you have a higher end system (even better than yours) if your push the graphics settings… It seems that a more conservative approach makes the game much more playable and stable in its current state.

Temporarily change resolution in game to 1080p, use 60fps frame limiting and set the graphics all to very low or disabled…

Test for stability…

If its still stable, then increase the resolution and test again - obviously stopping at the resolution you want to play at.
If its still stable, then increase the fps - dont go above 120fps for now and make sure you DO limit it - leaving it unlimited causes lots of problems.
If its still stable at the framerate limit you are happy with, then increase the graphics settings to low, and then if still stable to medium… Dont go above this - the instability seems to increase exponentially in High & Ultra modes - especially at higher resolutions.

Obviously if the lowest setting are still unstable then your problem could be caused by something else…

ps. Everything above is assuming that your system is up-to-date re patches, drivers and you have verified the Steam files.

updated drivers, tried changing some video settings and am still getting the crash in the same spot. The game works fine in every other zone but instant crash when I’m in the armory.
here are my logs and system info:

Hi.

From the le_graphics file it looks like you are not limiting the framerate (shows as false) - its important to do this as LE will run away with the GPU if you dont - some people have found that by not limiting it, they can max out the GPU to 100% and then it crashes… Others have found that in busy moments during play, without the limit LE gets very unstable.

Also, you are running on Medium with some settings like AA and Grass increased… If you set ALL the settings to very low (as suggested above), and test in the same area you are having hassles does it still crash?

With LE in its current state it seems that a more conservative approach to help with stability (and therefor playability) is the best way to go… Honestly, the increase in eye-candy, imho, is just not worth it right now… Obviously once the devs can sort out the performance & stability, then we can all enjoy more visual goodness but not right now…
