hello,
game randomly started crashing today.
I have had it crash while autosave, I have had crashes when just walking around, while inside containers, while game is paused and I am at dinner. I have not been able to make the game crash by doing anything in particular, it just dies sometimes. but it has done it 5 times this afternoon.
Had 0 issues before this week.

This has happened on a game save that I have used across 3 devices. my windows computer (where the logs are coming from), my steam deck and my Lenovo ThinkPad running arch linux (its relatively new 8th or 10th gen intel I think). I sync the saves with steam and I let it sync settings and mods when I load.

I cannot make it crash, as far as I can tell
I have had it crash in a variety of situations, so I dont think its something I am doing in game to make it crash.
the logs and save keep showing an error when i upload with the forum so I am leaving a google drive link.

Hopefully I get some help solving this. I am used to being able to leave this running for weeks without doing anything but autosaving. All of my mods are up to date, my game is on the latest stable, my computers drivers are current. I hope it is something simple.

Thanks for the report. Based off what the crash logs are showing this looks very similar to this: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=109021

Interesting, I will do some more looking. that post specifically called out the early ryzen cpus, but mine is a newer Zen3 chip not a Zen/+/2.
Ive also only started to have these crashes this week. so, considering the thousands of hours I have in this game I think I would have seen this before now.
I did update my chipset drivers early this week though

If I crash again, I will roll back driver and report changes.

This was a memory stability issue.
After looking over my memory timings I noticed I was requesting 1.2v when I should have been asking for 1.35v.
Once that was changed I have not had a crash in 10H of gameplay. (previously I would crash every hour or so.)

If you have already looked over the topic provided by Rseding91 confirm that you have the proper settings configured in your bios.

Im just not sure how it "worked" for so long. this explains a bunch of issues I had that I previously attributed to a scuffed win11 Image.

Your chipset driver update may have reset things. I've noticed other people say similar and I experienced it once myself.
