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These crashes are related to : AntiEaseyCheat, Incompatible issues, Inadequate page file size, Outdated or faulty graphics card drivers.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 OK
This 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 OK
- Apply 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 Overlay
- Click 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.
