Have you checked for driver / BIOS / Windows updates?
Is your computer set to reboot on BSODs? If so, disable that so you can see any error messages, if that is why the computer is rebooting.
In the Control Panel, click on System (or 'System and Security' and then System, in category view) and then 'Advanced system settings' in the left pane. In the Startup and Recovery section, click Settings, then uncheck Automatic restart and click OK.
For the Steam version, did you try verifying local files? In the Steam library, right click on Divinity Original Sin and select Properties, switch to the Local Files tab and then click on the 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache...' button.
If you create a new profile, start a new game with a character having a flare spell, does that cause a reboot casting it into a poison cloud in the tutorial cave?
In a new or existing save have you tried tossing a lit candle into a poison cloud? What about into a poison cloud where there is an open poison vent (which will fuel repeated explosions, unless that was changed recently). The tutorial cave and the cellar of the King Crab both have such poison vents.
Have you tried digging up the grave by the clinic in Cyseal? (opposite side from the marketplace, in the fenced in area)
Hi,
Ive downloaded the latest drivers yeah.
Ive re installed twice on steam and have verfied files.
Nope no BSODs, just a complete hard reset with no warning/errors.
If I start a new character and goto the vent in the tutorial dungeon, it crashes sometimes on flare yes. I may have to reload that one once or twice to make it crash, but it does eventually. Other places make it crash too, some more often than others. King crab with flare sometimes, frequent crashes in the fire area at the top too. seems like im having an issue with fire in general...
Im assuming its a hardware problem that divinity is highlighting somehow. Its just strange I can do it every time in the same place, no matter how long ive left the game running for.
Ive played hundreds of hours of other games over the last year and never had this happen before?
I tried underclocking the cpu, gpu, temporarily raising voltages for a stability test, running fan at 100%, cleaning the dust from the case, but nothing so far has worked.
Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks
Ryan
