After reading a lot of posts regarding crashes that players are experiencing I thought best to give you a most likely solution to this issue.
So far I have had no crashes after 2 weeks now with 8+ hour sessions straight and can enjoy those juicy solo farming runs with no issue.
Please share it so players can enjoy their missions without getting crashed on the boss fight.
These crashes are related to : AntiEaseyCheat, Incompatible issues, Inadequate page file size, Outdated or faulty graphics card drivers.
Step by step. (You must restart your PC after this) :
1) If you are running any Nvidia 30 series you will want to run with DX12. If files or drivers are corrupted (which most people doesn't even know they are) uninstall all drivers and install a clean version of latest (do not install nvidia game experience)
You should do this step regardless because a fresh drivers install actually does more than you think. I know it sucks, but just do it.
2) AntiEasyCheat:
Run Division 2 on PC. While running it:Open Task Manager. Expand Task Manager. Under details tab, Right-click on this entry and click the Set CPU affinity option,
deselect all, except
CPU Core 1.
3) Set the size of you page file to System Managed.
Go
System >
About >
Advanced System Settings.A new windows (
System Properties) will appear, here click on
Advanced Tab > Settings.It will open
Performance Options here again click on
Advanced Tab > Change.Under the
Virtual memory section, checkbox “
Automatically manage paging file size for all drives” and click
OKThis may be already ticked but always check.
4) Run compatibility troubleshooter.
Go to the Folder where you have installed the Division 2. Right-click on the
file Division.exe and select
Properties.Click on the
Compatibility tab and then click
Change high DPI settings. In the new windows check the box next to
Override high DPI scaling behavior and select
Scaling performed by: Application. Then click
OK to save the changes.Tick the box next to
Disable Fullscreen optimizations and click
OKApply and OK
5) Restart your PC
6) Always Verify game files for files that might be missing. From Uplay launcher, or wherever you playing from, steam, etc. From local files Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
7) Optional. Try this only if you still have crashes. Disable Ubisoft / Steam overlay. I have not done it since all other steps worked out.
Open Ubisoft OverlayClick on the “
Menu” button on the top left corner and select “
Settings”.In settings, click on the “
General” tab and uncheck the “
Enable in-game overlay for supported games” option.
As mentioned previously, this has helped me and other players running the game with no crashes at all since last patch so if you still have issues then you will have to check your PC and make further checks as any minimal thing can be the cause and not necessarily the game's fault.
If you have a big list of updates in Windows update, then most likely that is the problem. Do that and then do all these steps from above.
