Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU).
Rather than relying on the conventional approach of uninstalling drivers through the Control Panel, take advantage of Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU), a highly effective solution.
- Download Display Driver Uninstaller from a reputable source. Prepare Drivers: Prior to using DDU, ensure you've downloaded the most recent graphics drivers from your computer or graphics card manufacturer's official website.
- Disable your internet connection.
- Launch DDU and remember to choose the option to remove GeForce Experience (GFE) if prompted. This step holds significant importance.
- After completing the process, restart your system.
- Install the driver software and then reconnect to the internet. This prevents Windows from automatically installing generic drivers.
- Reinstall GeForce Experience and proceed with updating your graphics drivers as needed. Repeat these steps in Safe Mode if the crashing issue persists.
Deactivate Overclocks or Lower them.
- Disable any GPU, CPU, or RAM overclocking.
- Initiate Remnant 2 and check if the issue persists.
- If turning off overclocking resolves the problem, reevaluate your overclock settings.
- Slowly reintroduce overclocking, beginning with the GPU, followed by the CPU, and finally the RAM. Keep an eye on stability and crashes at each stage.
Fine-Tune In-Game Graphics Settings.
Avoid Extremes! Graphics settings can sometimes impact game stability. Follow these guidelines to optimize in-game graphics settings. Remember, moderation is key. Don't max out all settings right away.
- Start the game with the lowest graphics settings while maintaining your preferred resolution.
- Gradually enhance graphical settings while launching the game on each occasion. Find the right balance between graphics quality and stability.
