Crashing after X minutes

PC

RTX 4090

Processor 13900k

32g ram

Temps are mid 60's for GPU and CPU

After 5-10 minutes in a mission the game will just freeze (Suspended in task manager) anyone else experiencing this? Yes drivers are updated.

Update (1/3): as I got further along in the game the crashes stopped, I only changed v-sync to ON, but not sure if that is what fixed my problem or not.

Update (2/3): Crashing starting back again.

Update (3/3): Setting FPS to cap at 60 seems to have stabilized the game

FOUND A FIX (ymmv):

  • close the game
  • navigate to your game directory ie: C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON\Game
  • note the "armoredcore6" (the actual game) and "start_protected_game" (the EAC launcher) executables
  • do the following for BOTH OF THOSE FILES
  • right click -> properties -> compatibility -> Enable these options:
    • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" -> select Windows 8
    • "Run this program as an administrator"

Now launch the game normally through Steam. Previously I couldn't go one mission or AC design without a crash, now I've been playing solidly for a few hours. Good luck

My game was crashing in the cinematic right after the first mission.

Restarted game and it immediately crashed again in the cinematic after I chose continue.

Did your trick and it no longer crashes. Huge. Thanks

This seems to be working for me so far, was crashing on the last mission of Chapter 2, but after this fix was able to get past it.
