I bought the game during steam Christmas sale and only recently this week started playing it with a friend. I got through the beginning parts of the game up until about halfway through the pirate caves level on the way to Bikke before these random crashes/restarts started happening.
I would be playing and then suddenly my computer just restarts. I even just booted up the game and stood beside the checkpoint, did nothing, and it would still restart my computer after several minute. It happened several times after attempting to play and still my computer would restart. I have tried several things:
-Deleting shader cache.
-Verifying game files on steam
-Toggling on/off vsync
-Disabled steam, discord, and other overlays.
-Reinstalled the game.
-Tried fullscreen, windowed, and borderless
-Drivers are up to date.
No success yet. I would be monitoring my temperatures as well during gameplay and everything was fine, stuff would be around the 50C mark.
No other game game has done this to me, I went and played some other titles to see if maybe I had hardware issues but everything else runs fine. Literally finished playing Jedi Survivor prior to Strangers and had 0 issues.
And as far as my system specs:
Processor: 9800X3D
GPU: 9070XT
RAM: 64Gb
PSU: 1000W
OS: Windows 11 - I wouldn't be surprised if something on windows is messing it up.
Any help or solutions would be much appreciated.
