Information​

I have verifed my game files (Steam only)​

Yes

I have disabled all mods​

Yes

I am running the latest game update​

Yes

Required​

Summary​

I can manually change every graphic setting to the highest available option besides the "texture quality"

Description​

When I set it to ultra the game just crashes without crash report popping up. When I launch it again the texture quality stayed the same (High, medium or low) I also tried running it in both Dx11 and in Vulkan.
I tried changing it manually from the pdx_settings.txt but this way the game didnt even launch and just got a crash report.
I have an Rx 9070 XT and a Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

Steps to reproduce​

I went to the settings, first I tried changing the "Quality preset" to the highest which resulted in an instant crash. Then I changed everything manually without crashing, i changed the texture quality and it crashed.

Game Version​

1.16.0.2

Platform​

Windows

Hello,

Thank you for your report. It does not seem to occur on our side, this may be related to some hardware specification.

I have following requests:
1. Please make DXdiag and attach it to your reply here - to do so type "dxdiag" in search bar on your windows task bar -> select dxdiag run command -> after diagnostics are performed save the file and attach it to your reply
2. Please compress the specific crash folder to .zip and also attach it to your reply.
3. Additionally, please attach file with your settings, perhaps there is some combination that causes the issue.

Thanks in advance.
 
I can only get a crash report after I manually change the quality to ultra. If I do it in the game settings the game just freezes for a second, then closes, without a crash report appearing. It seems like I can't attach the DxDiag.txt.

Hello,

Thank you for attaching the files. By crash report not appearing, do you mean that the crash sender does not appear?

What I meant was the folder that should be generated in this location, every time you get a crash a folder is created in here:

(If there is a folder - please add it here. If there is not - let me know, I will report your issue regardless)
