Wolfenstein: The New Order Message Board  

This morning, gotten notification from AMD support over this game that AMD system may not support and could cause crashes if playing Wolfenstein: The New Order.

Even after upgrading to newest AMD drivers the game causes crashes and noticed from crash logs that the game itself even on the lowest graphical settings possible uses up 80% of my CPU along with out of memory error messages and I use 8GB RAM along with 2GB Video Card.

In testing, it takes trainer 5 minutes to activate, can use no damage, but once I use any of the other options game crashes the entire system.

Think will wait a few months until they come out with patches for the game that will help it run on AMD systems, but I doubt it.

Laters...

Thanks, I thought it was only me, I guess not. Now I want my money back from STEAM since they didn't but the System Requirements right in the first place I do hope they fix this and hope I don't have this problem with Watch Dogs.

Well.. If you got a notice from AMD about the game then they are working feverishly to find a fix for it and should have it out soon. They, like NVidia DO NOT like being slapped down by any game system requirements so they don't sit on their butts whining about it.

I would keep watch for any forum posts about tweaks and settings to play with that may help in the meantime.

Otherwise.. just keep up the and with AMD to keep them on task.. LOL

WOW, I have an ALL AMD system, I am SO Freaking glad I got this game on PS4.. I will wait for Bethesda to patch in AMD support..

The problem is the engine, seems like they did not learn anything from the RAGE problem back then, they had problems as well with ATI cards and AMD processors the game crashed or ran quite poorly, people found workarounds for it, but the engine is the problem when i comes to performance and stability.

So unless the gfx engine gets a major patch and fixed with AMD and ATI support, it might need some tech savy people in the gaming community, to make a work around that actually works for the game.

I got an AMD system too. With most graphic options turned down, the first mission had 40-50 fps average, the second (beach and castle) a steady 60 fps. Now I'm in the hospital and it's a f*cking slide show with 5-10. How can they use the same stupid engine again without any optimizations???

you must and if you read the steam requirements for Wolfenstein the new order it says update AMD drivers to 14.4 hope this helps

Na, it doesn't but 14.4 seems to be the best option. What really helped to steady the frame rate a little bit is the same fix I've already used for Rage.
You have to let the game create a temp folder for texture data. Create a folder e.g. C:/Wolfensteintemp and use the parameter

+fs_cachepath "C:\Wolfensteintemp"

You can check if it uses the folder by typing fs_cachepath into the console.

This only works as an exe parameter, putting it into the config file doesn't seem to work.
