    Install the latest game update before changing local settings.

  2. 02

    In Steam Launch Options, test -dx12 -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system as one complete option set.

  3. 03

    If DX12 remains unstable, remove that set and test -dx11 -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system instead.

  4. 04

    Test the official temporary suggestion of setting the in-game graphics preset to High.

  5. 05

    Disable the In-Game Overlay in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition, then retest the same map or server scenario.

  6. 06

    Record GPU model, driver version, game build, map and exact crash text before contacting official support.

IMPORTANT LIMITS

Before changing more

  • Do not use the DX11 and DX12 options together.
  • These are temporary official workarounds and results vary by system.
  • Remove temporary launch parameters and retest after a hotfix or driver update.
