I own the GOG version of the game. Latest patch (however, the issue exists since 2.0 and yes, I contacted CDPR multiple times but they never admitted the issue). System specs: see my DLSS machine. Game crashes on whatever Windows, both 10 and 11 of literally any configuration behave the same. Hardware runs at fail-safe settings (stock CPU and GPU clocks, redundant voltage, RAM runs at XMP) and has been tested for any problems but there were none.

The problem is when I hack multiple targets at once (mostly the detonate grenade quickhack but noticed that cyberpsychosis also can pull the trigger), the game freezes and then ultimately crashes. There is no way I can alleviate that by increasing the watchdog timeout value or by killing the watchdog for good.

I tried:

• Clean installation of EVERYTHING (the game, the OS, the game save, drivers, different versions thereof, etc)
• Rebuilding my PC from scratch
• Replacing electricity cables in my house ("dirty" electricity might cause issues AFAIK)
• Changing every setting in the game
• Running COMPLETELY modless
• Changing my peripherals
• Using different SSDs
• Using different vsync/adaptive sync settings

Nothing helped. The problem is NOT consistent as oftentimes the game doesn't crash after that. I'd say it's about 30 to 40 percent chance of crashing. Noticed that it crashes more often with VRAM being overutilised.

I repeat: CDPR were unable to confirm the issue, let alone provide any solution. Any idea what I can do?

So, you posted this on their forum too ? I can't help you cause i don't have my V leveled up that way, if i can, i will find an old save and try to quick hack someone and see if it happens. I have over 150 hours in CP2077, started playing it this summer. And i might have had about 3-4 CTD in all those hours.

Go into the BIOS and see if resizable bar is enabled. I would also try to installing it on your NVM drive and see if it still has issues.

I already tried changing that in the past when the problem already existed but 2.12 did not. However, even now, it makes zero difference.

Already stated in the OP that I tried different SSDs. Two NVMes included.

Hmm can't really help you but there are some results on google, worth a shot? but i also would check the system with OCCT or something if gpu/cpu/ram is stable if not done already

Cross save has always been disabled.

OCCT, Cinebench, LinX, prime95, CPU-Z, various memtests and GPU tests — all tested, all good. Hardware couldn't've been more stable.

I have a quickhack build and I've never encountered this on the 7900XT (which has been running newer builds of the game). I also didn't get it on the GTX 1080 prior, but that was on game ver 1.21. Overall the game's been pretty stable altogether for me on Intel and AMD and Nvidia. (8700K or 7800X3D are also no different). Also running the GOG version.

And yes, I defo included detonate grenade in the package, its awesome.

It's also buggy as hell. Tier 5 quickhack usually doesn't produce ragdolls. Guys just stand there like nothing happened and their pants are totally intact. Jank!

(tbf these bugs make the game worth it. However, crashes are way too critical...)

Try installing the Microsoft Game Bar and running it while running Cyberpunk. It will show you what applications are running in the background that you might be able to shut off, as one of them might be causing your crash issue.
