I know a similar topic already exists, but it's 2 years old and I'm not sure about necroposting rules. So I'm creating this one, and if moderators prefer, I can post in the old thread instead.
Here's the problem:
I have two PCs. One is for internet browsing — it's a total mess, super laggy, full of viruses, and the hardware is really old. But it happened that the first time I played BG3, it was on that trash PC — and I played for 170 hours without a single crash. Not one!
Now I'm playing BG3 again on my gaming PC, which I only use for AAA games like Witcher, Cyberpunk, Skyrim, etc. The system is very clean — used exclusively for gaming, and I reinstall Windows every 6 months with fresh drivers. Never had any problems running any AAA games on high or ultra settings. Hardware is solid and barely used. But with BG3, every 1–2 hours the game restarts the entire computer (huge thanks to the person who implemented the 50 quicksaves feature)
The only real differences between the two setups are:
- Trash PC: online + Full HD
- Gaming PC: offline + 4K
Everything else people usually mention — like bad PSU, outdated drivers, or corrupted files — is baseless speculation. The issue clearly comes down to only two factors: offline mode or 4K resolution, nothing else.
Any ideas? Anyone had a similar experience?
