Consistent crashing, tried a few things with some success, but hoping to play without workarounds

Post Body

My specs are Ryzen 7800X3D, RTX 4070ti, 32GB DDR5 RAM, installed on a M.2 NVMe, Windows 11

I've seen a few posts made on here about this issue, but I just can't seem to resolve it. I'm fairly certain it's just up to Ubisoft to fix it, and I'm not really holding my breath for that. But I figured I'd make this post anyway to see if anyone has any other ideas, or maybe if a certain driver might be working better.

Speaking of drivers, I've tried the latest ones, 551.23, and also 546.65. I've also went as far back as 532.34, since according to post made on the Nvidia forms they are considered stable by the community. I also have 537.58, but I have not tried them yet.

So basically the game consistently crashes without any type of error within about 10 minutes of gameplay usually. I have no other issues with any other game, and the game itself runs perfectly. I typically get about 140ish FPS on ultra settings with DLSS quality mode. Just that, almost like it's on a timer, around 10 minutes or less the game will just close. Not even any errors on Event Viewer about it.

The only thing that seems to help it is if I cap the game's FPS at 80 (could potentially cap it slightly higher or lower, but 80 is what I tried where I didn't have any issues), and set the graphics quality to high. If I uncap the FPS with graphics at high, game still crashes. If I cap the FPS with the game at ultra, the game still crashes. Only with those two things set will it seemingly not crash. I say seemingly because although I have played it significantly longer without any crash, I can't say that it won't crash at all. I haven't sat down and played it for an extensive period of time yet due to the troubles getting it to play without crashing, and work.

I also had a longer playtime when I installed the 532.34 drivers, but it did inevitably crash after about 25 minutes of gameplay.

Anyway, I know my system is more than capable of running the game at its maximum settings, and I know I should be happy that it seems like it's not going to crash with the FPS cap and quality settings set to how I seem to have to have them, but it would be nice to figure this out.

I'd like to just restate that I'm pretty positive that it's no fault of hardware. I can sit and run any other game for hours if I wanted to without any issues, it's just this one. I also realized that the game is fairly demanding on the highest settings, but like I said it runs very well at ultra settings with uncapped FPS. Just the whole inevitable crashing thing. If anyone happens to not have any issues with maybe similar PC specs, specifically graphics card, what drivers might you be using? I know people seem to be playing it totally fine with the newest drivers, but apparently that's not in the cards for me. Any other potential help would be welcome. I'll end this by adding a few other things that I've tried. Hopefully I'm remembering all of them.

  • Clean installed drivers using DDU, tried a few different ones.
  • Set the TDRdelay higher in the registry
  • Gave full access to nvlddmkm.sys
  • Disabled PCIe Link State Power Management
  • Slightly underclocking GPU with MSI Afterburner

Most of which are probably just placebo things, but are things I've seen people claim they have success with certain games crashing similar to this.
