I played the game back on release, meaning classic edition, for about 50 hours without any significant problems.

a few days back i decided to start again and try the definitive edition but i'm getting crashes seemingly at random.

they do seem to happen during fights more often than exploration or dialogue (although the issue is definitely not combat only), so i'm practically stuck at the boss battle onboard the ship, with dallis. it wasn't a huge problem until now, just a few crashes here and there since i save like every 3 minutes but i can't finish the battle without getting a crash so i'm effectively stuck.

drivers are up to date. tried admin mode from the .exe file in bin folder.

I used to have a gtx 1070 back when the game released. now i've upgraded to a 2080ti, everything else is the same with the system. drivers were properly uninstalled and re-installed after the upgrade. any suggestions? i honestly don't care that much about the game crashing once or twice a day. but this is a bit more than i can handle.


insane yet?
