Flapping between desktop and application on startup and total crash of the graphics card driver

Conan Exiles PC Discussion
1

Game mode: Online private
Type of issue: Crash
Server type: PvE
Region: Europe

Every time I start Conan Exiles, the application flaps between the Destop and the application. After about 5- 10 seconds (Approximately when the menu appears), my graphics driver will completely crash. Then I can’t do anything except restart my PC to reinitialize the driver. Every 5 - 10 starts I make it to the mod check of my server and every 10 - 20 starts I even get into the game but the flapping starts after a while even if the game is started. The longest playing time was about 2 hours.

Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

Thank you for your feedback. I recently swapped from an Intel I5 to the Ryzen5. If it is indeed an PSU Issue i will let you know.

Hello @mcqueen221, have you tried any of the workarounds in our AMD specific thread?

Also, please let us know if you’re on a multi-monitor setup and if rolling back to an earlier GPU driver or lowering the graphical settings helps.
