Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues random crashes to desktop

While playing the game randomly closes as it crashes straight to the desktop. No error report or anything.
It seems to happen randomly, once while in Cyseal during a conversation and another time while in the middle of combat in West Cyseal.

I'm hosting in a multiplayer game together with my girlfriend over i believe a LAN connection.
This is a new issue for us as we did not experience this problem when we last played, still during beta.

i5-3570k
Radeon R9-290

Please email supportdos@larian.com, with a description of the problem and the report.zip file generated by the D:OS support tool (for the PC version). The report will contain system and game information, any crash dumps, and your saved games. If file size is an issue, most of your saves can be deleted from the zip, since it doesn't seem like they are relevant.


Are you shutting down all non-essential programs (especially anti-virus) before starting the game?

Is your video card overclocked? At least one person reported that caused stability problems. Another reported (here) that Ambient Occlusion caused their crashes.

I have send the email with the report, removing all but the most recent savegame to keep down filesize.
The only active protection being run while running Divinity was Windows Security Essentials.

My videocard is not overclocked, but after browsing a bit more through the forums it does seem that several peoples issues are traced back to the R9 290 series.
My girlfriend is now hosting the game, so when i crash i can get reinvited again, and she has the R9 270. She has had no problems at all.

Also, i had already tuned down graphical settings a bit to see if that would solve the issue. And i already tried it with Ambient Occlusion off, which made no difference. I have even turned off V-sync but i havent had the chance to really test if this had an impact on the problem as of yet.
