Wolfenstein 2 CRASH

[Pepi28]

Hey guys, so for the past few hours i've been browsing around the interwebs for a fix but nothing seems to work. Pre-loaded wolfenstein 2, waited for the release, the time came, and what do you know...clicked play and got an error message.

The error message read "could not write crash dump", and the game wouldnt start. Somehow by starting the game in safe mode in steam i managed to get to the starting menu, where the game would once again freeze and give the same error. Tried the fixes given on the steam/ bethesda forums and even on youtube, like disabling different graphics settings(which was hard in itself as i had to be fast enough to change the setting before the game would crash) and yet nothing works. The game seems to crash after a given period of time, like i can start the game and then mess with setting in the menu or even try to start playing, and it would just freeze and throw the error. 

Has someone else on here been experienceing this as well, or maybe someone has an idea of what could be happening? 

P.S. i've uninstalled and installed the game 3 times, ran the latest nvidia drivers (388.00 and the specific hotfix for wolfenstein 2, 388.10), still nothing

This happens a lot to me too.I contacted Bethesda and they told me that there was a problem with the game that causes it to crash frequently.They will be releasing a patch shortly.

 

I have 8 crashes so far

Well... Once my PC did the same thing while running Tomb Raider.

I do not remember why, but I took out my CPU, HDD, RAM and GPU cleaned it a bit and it somehow worked!

Maybe It was the HDD, but I really do not know.

If nothing helps at least try it...

It's apparently a very common problem, especially for people with laptops, as the integrated and dedicated gpus are being problematic for some reason. So i have my doubts that the problem for all those people is a spec of dust in a ram slot or so. Mainly i really don't want to take my system apart haha

But you are at least able to play then? You just get random crashes at certain points throughout the game?

Yeah pretty much.I'm not playing the game until Bethesda releases a patch as it's not too enjoyable

There are some specific hardware configs that just work better.

Honestly other than DDU and reinstall drivers I would just wait a bit

Which drive did you install it on?Can you try on the blues?

It might be your hardware... Please send specs

They are in my signature, but here:

AMD R7 1800x
Nvidia gtx1070
Corsair platinum 16gb ram

ASUS crosshair IV hero

Corsair hx750i (750w)

System should handle this just fine haha

(Jealousy look) It should handle it on normal settings 1080p Min.60FPS

Indeed, the issue somewhat makes sense for people who have both integrated and dedicated gpus, like on lots of laptops...but still, it's annoying how the same issue occurs for a wide variety of hardware. Makes me wonder if its a vulkan/ openGL thing, or rather, the lack of openGL.

The best way is to wait for the patch, because it's a new release, so expect bugs and crashes   Developers will probably fix them and optimize It for most hardware.

So somehow it magically worked, randomly decided to give it a go and it didn't freeze...played about 1.5 hours into the game, no crashes so far.
