I played KC:D a lot when it came out and had a blast doing so. Some bugs were encountered, but overall it seemed I was rather lucky and was spared the brunt of the bugload. Haven’t played since march and just now decided it’s time for hardcore mode.
I patched, started the game and during the cutscenes or the dialogue with mother my PC always locks up. Screen turns blue (no bluescreen text though), sound gets hung up, then follows a black screen - all while the fans are still turning and the PC is running. I had to shut down the PC manually each time and reboot.
After a fresh installation, this problem was gone for a few hours of game time, but after a day it’s back and again happens consistently. Sometimes even in idle main menu before loading the savegame. I since checked RAM integrity, ran a few benchmarks for GPU and CPU load and temperature and monitored my parts while starting the game until the crash occurs. Nothing out of the ordinary until the crash, the benchmarks are also running fine. I tried the various graphic settings (high, medium, low), but nothing changes.
Did anyone experience something similar? What else could I test?
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core (@4000MHz)
RAM: 12GB
GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 480
OS: Win 7 (64)
Thanks in advance, any help is welcome!
