Phantom Blade Zero: Crash Issue (Fix)

Short answer

In the main menu before hitting continue, disable ray tracing under graphics settings until the you're back in game. This solved it immediately for me.

How to fix it

  2. Open the graphics settings before selecting continue.
  3. Turn off ray tracing.
  4. Load back into the game.
  5. You can re-enable ray tracing once you are successfully back in the game.

  • Note if a message appears stating your motherboard BIOS needs an update.

Phantom Blade Zero – Constant WHEA errors and BSODs after a game crash. Anyone else experiencing this? I played Phantom Blade Zero for the entire first day without any issues. At one point, the game gave me a message saying that my BIOS needed an update, so I updated my ASUS PRIME B760-PLUS motherboard to BIOS version 1836. After the update, I loaded Intel Default Settings, enabled XMP and left…

Still No Fix

Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Disable all overclocks and underclock your CPU and/or GPU to reduce power load. Alternatively, install the NVIDIA studio driver instead of the game-ready driver.
