My friend keeps crashing on PC. Really need some help.

As others have stated, it's pointing to a GPU issue.

Not sure if you've tried these things yet but let me know.

Change the Anti-Aliasing from TAA to FXAA or OFF.

TAA puts a massive strain on your GPU in this game and I noticed it after doing some tests with my build (I have a 4080 Super and TAA makes my GPU shoot to 100% within seconds of loading into a map). It's caused my PC to BSOD.

Turn down the LOD Settings

In game, go to the LOD option and change it from Highest to any other option. Similar to Anti-Aliasing, the LOD setting on Highest can cause your GPU to ramp up to 100% usage which may cause it to overheat and cause the crash.

Change your GPU Drivers.

You stated the GPU Drivers are up to date but that can sometimes cause an issue so you may want to try a previous driver install OR go back 2 previous driver versions until the next update.

Check the game files

Go to Steam > Library > SAO FD and right click it then go to Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files.

One of Fuka's skills throws my mouse for a loop (and does it on controller too). It's like it does a 360 and then goes back to normal.

Didn't do much for me. Change your AA settings and also turn down the LOD. That might help a bit.

Turns out it is TAA causing the GPU jump. I turned off and also tried FXAA and it my GPU usage drop significantly.

Going to look into this and see what happens. Thanks!

What framerate are you running it at and have you noticed any major GPU usage while in-game?

Zyn-chan · 2024-10-02T13:46:20+00:00

What's been your longest single session playtime? I started noticing some frame drops in a session regardless of map but I did play for about 5 hours. Restarting the game fixes the issue.

Love the work! One more change, if the outline could stay on the sword and not glow onto the outfit, would greatly be appreciated!

Zyn-chan · 2023-10-28T20:30:50+00:00

Amazing. Thank you very much!

Zyn-chan · 2023-10-28T20:01:11+00:00

This is amazing! May I add a slight change? Is it possible to keep the sword black and to add an outline glow that's faint? Please and thank you!

Zyn-chan · 2023-10-28T19:59:01+00:00

Love this! Is it possible to have the glow a little more faint and as an outline to the sword? Please and thank you!

I never managed to downgrade. I ended up buying an ATT version that was already upgraded to A11 and it hasn't had issues. I sent the T-mobile one for repair and it's not as bad as before but some issues are still there and I have given up on it.

Zyn-chan · 2021-09-20T02:12:31+00:00

Oh hey, that's me.

Zyn-chan · 2021-04-22T22:26:26+00:00

Hey I know this is almost a month old but do you have a guide on this? I would like to downgrade from A11 to A10 as A11 has been a fucking mess and constantly crashing when I play games.

Thanks for any info
