Game crashes while at world boss fight

Since tha last hotfix im unable to do any world boss as in the first 2 seconds the game crashes, says “im out of memory” i made a ticket a blizzards’, followed all the steps you provided to try out fixes and still have the problem. The responses are made from bots that didn’t even “read” what my posting and provided a troubleshooting that has nothing to do with the issue. In the 2d answer it says “it seems you are having problems at World of Warcraft” so you can figure… I also tried the setting the page memory file to 32GB with no avail, reinstalled all from Zero and updated again all windows and GPU drivers

Im convinced its not my rig the problem but blizzard’s because:

  1. I didn’t have this problem until your last Hotfix a few days ago. I been doing World bosses the whole season without problems
  2. After i started to have these crashes, I reinstalled from scratch my whole pc and updated everything
  3. The crashing is not random, it happens exactly every time a few seconds after the 1st attempt Boss fight begins and if i attempt to move
  4. After the game crashes if i enter the game again immediately and the boss is still alive i can do the raid fine!
  5. Before the crash the number of players doing the raid were like 10+ and after the crash i re-enter the game and we are like 3+ players now, the Boss had almost full HP which means that almost everyone else also crashed with me, obviously other players are having the same issue!

Conclusion: Point 3, 4 and 5 of my explanation are key, if the problem were my Rig i would be having random crashes while doing any other activities in the game, which is not happening at all!

I am seconding this post. I have the same circumstances, World Bosses are the ONLY time my game crashes, with all 5 points from Alecto’s post being true for me as well. I have confirmed with my GPU monitor that when Diablo 4 crashes I am at less than 50% memory usage on the GPU and less than 30% on my PC memory (which is insanely high for a game with these graphics, but it is what it is).

I often use this PC for rendering, as well as games that use 2-3x memory compared to Diablo 4, meaning this error is incorrect. This only started in the last week. I have tried on the three most recent NVIDA drivers, the timing and error is the same.

It is most def a Blizz problem. This is the season of bugs and garbage content.

The error message usually says my hard drive is full and it’s not. Basically some thing got screwed up really bad in the programming for the base game this season and it’s causing a cascade of issues it looks like. this just happens to be one of them. that is if it’s not all connected. happens.

Just to verify - the same error/game crash/out of memory thing happened during the world boss fight. In the last day I fought all 3 world bosses, and about a minute into the fight it crashes.
Note - I was able to log back in and I loaded in the world boss fight area; so I was still able to get credit and the reward for its defeat.

I agree, crash every time now when I go to World Boss. Happens exactly as he has described and I too have done all the above to rule out my rig.

I’ve been having the same problem. 16gb graphics card with 64gb ddr5 ram that runs 180+ fps but boss fights crash it and I get the out of memory error.

Same problem here, no problems in any other part or event of the game just world boss.

same for me. I’ve checked all drivers and scanned the game for repairs, even checked my hard drive paging file size. i am not sure what else to do. but it seems that every time they “fix something” they make it worse. infernal hordes don’t track the waves and yesterday it wasn’t showing the gathered currency in there either. so at the end of the IF you had no clue how much embers you made. that plus crashing out on a world boss is a lot. do better blizzard.

Same here. 18GB used out of 24GB on GPU, and 22 out of 32 on RAM and out of memory error and CTD on boss…

Support site is a joke, it’s probably built to make you go away without giving a feedback about a bug - bot is suggesting authenticator problems solving with this error and in the end gives some links to totally different game xD

I have the same issue. Since the patch, the World Boss crashes the game. I updated all the latest drivers from NVDA from yesterday and now the game crashes during in the Pit as well.

yup! in fact i just tried again crasshed immediatly, managed to log back in again fast tenough to get put back into a live boss then with 10% health left it crashed again. glad i waited around for the boss timer just to crash my game.

Error Code F487108A-3FB3-4097-A041-24FF20045B3C

Game became unresponsive and died. Third time today, first two were the out of memory issue, so I upped the page space and made it most of the way through the fight. But. . . no dice.

I suspect the high graphic demands of the boss powers are the issue, especially the Beast’s Sleet going over and over.

Last 3 boss fights my game crashed due to a memory issue.

Same problem here, my configuration is far away that’s D4 requirements (in ultra). I crash like you.
I noticed if I change the quality mode from DLAA/Quality to equilibrate, I don’t have crash anymore.
Only on world boss.

I am having the exact same problem.

Same started happen to me after the update that added Whisper Crows, game screen freezes and then just shut downs. Since it doesn’t happen always, it could be also related to some other player’s skills, animations, buffs, etc. Maybe if someone is still using “Varshan bug” setup, it could be the cause, just like before. Although that dmg bug is fixed, not every player are up-to-date and could be still using that setup.


edit: From my limited testing, crash only happens when there’s ~12 players, it crashed 3 out of 9 different boss encounters. It never crashed with ~8 players. One of the crashes happened when I waited very long time until using skills, boss was like at ~50% HP, so it doesn’t matter if I wait or not.

The same here. I crashed (out of memory error) 3 times during World Boss fight and then reconnected. The 3rd reconnection was at the dead World Boss with no loot for me! This is the second time that it happened. :frowning:

I’ve got 32GB RAM. “Out of memory” crash happens often and randomly not only during the World Boss fight.

I’ve had this happen 3 times now, it also happens after playing for a few hours.

I have a i9 12900k, 64GB ram, 5070ti 16GB. Mem usage never over 50% when it crashes and gpu mem usage around 89%. I have more than enough memory, so this shouldn’t be happening.

Running RTX shadows medium reflections high with frame gen and DLAA at 1440p.

This seems to have started happening with the latest patch, this sucks so much!
