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.

What operating system, and hardware are you using? What's your graphics card version number? Have you tried repairing the game files from the bnet client? Have you tried installing to a different hard drive? Have you run a memtest?

This is the only drive I had left that had that kinda room to spare.

It's a newer nvme m2.

Win 10, for now at least. Linux is definitely next. Fuck 11.

Gtx970 (old but still kicking).

Repairing didn't help, but I forgot mem test was a thing. Haven't used it since win7. I'll try it out again next time I get a minute, but I doubt that's having an issue.

16GB of it, so the amount isn't the problem.

Don't remember the driver version number, but I've got the one that came out Tuesday, and had the version directly before it as well.

What are the characteristics of the crash? I would crash when playing the game after waking the computer up from sleep. Eventually it killed my SSD and it wouldn't boot with the SSD in. It was the 3rd drive so it wasn't even a main. I had to submit a repair ticket to samsung.
