Maybe some sort overlay software could be causing it? as it's crashing before starting i.e outdated MSI afterburner?
MSI afterburner is closed, all mods disabled. Nothing running in the background. No overclocks on GPU or CPU.
This is a fairly new PC I built around 9 months ago too. The PC is running amazing and all other games working perfectly. Cybperunk 2077 worked perfectly in high settings + ray tracing before patch 1.5
can you see anything in windows event viewer, driver crashes etc?
can you disable all audio, try and boot it with nothing, disable other stuff?
I've just tried disabling Nvidia audio in device manager and launching the game with no sound and it still crashed to desktop.
Just to be clear, the game launches from Steam, and in the in-game menu weather I choose continue or I choose new game, either way it loads 10% and then crashes to desktop.
I've deleted user folder from Steam, set windows to output to 1 monitor, closed everything in task manager. I've done everything I can possibly think of.
I honestly think CD Project RED have bricked the game as I'm usually pretty good at fixing these kind of issues myself with the help of google and this is probably the first time in over a decade where I've actually been locked out of a game. Pretty crazy really.
I've seen people on the reddit megathread say the exact same thing as me. Even gamers with 3090's or 2060's can't play.
Is there no way to revert back to patch 1.31 do you know?
If I reinstall the game on Steam can I force it to only download the base game and then choose which patches I want or would it download the full game again with patch 1.5 and I'd have no choice?
imo the long cut scenes add so much to the fame. Imo in these types of games if there is a way to skip it then its fine which you can in cut scenes. Rather have cut scenes like this which are detailed, provide context and get you immersed the short ones tbh!
