Xbox Series x crashing

[Sarynz]

I started this game 3 days ago and its been a NON stop crashing. I get dashboarded with no warning. My xbox has shut off 4xs after game freezes. In one day i have been dashboarded 6xs in 30min while in emerald stair area. Before that i crashed 4xs finishing up "looking for my killer" quest. Its been an interesting game, frustrated it keeps crashing to the point i refused to play it anymore

I'm in the same boat. First crash happened during the character creation phase, then I was able to play for ~1 hour before another sudden freezing during the first side quest "Cabin Fever". The freezing ends with a crash and it comes back to the XboX dashboard. Tried again several times, all with the same outcome after few minutes of gameplay: freezing, crashing, dashboard.... 

No errors displayed, no overheating warnings, nothing.... the console seems to work at the usual temperature, the fan keeps silent and other games run smoothly (eFootball, Starfield, Wild Hearts, etc).

So, my dear Obsidian: what's the problem?

Im in the same boat too...constant crashing...sometimes dump to Dashboard, sometimes just power off...  totally bad....no errors, no warning...no heat etc...  Is there a patch coming??

This happens to me too, altough the console has never rebooted on me.
Just frequent crashes to dashboard.

It was the same with Starfield, and that never got fixed.
Completely ruined the game for me.

I am having the same issue on Xbox X. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, cleared cache, and my device is well vented. Also, it crashes whether it's hot or not. I also have 10% available disk space. The game is great but I can't take the consistent crashing.

Hello Devs,

I am also experiencing this issue. I have tried the same fixes as everyone else. I also bought a fan specifically for the Xbox Series X. I have played for three hours with no crashes, and I have had one instance where I crashed about 20 times in a row, sometimes before the home screen even fully loaded. Occasionally, when I load the game, there are flashes of color all over the screen and I am forced to reload the game to get them to go away. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, installed a fan to keep the temp down, and am playing on the setting that has the best performance. I will tell you that I love Avowed and am a little bit heartbroken every time I load it because it is virtually unplayable half the time. I manually save the game every three minutes so that I don't lose too much progress when it inevitably crashes. When it does, part of the time it drops me to the dashboard and part of the time it completely reboots my Xbox Series X. This is absolutely not an issue with my console. I play the newest Calle of Duty for hours without a single crash or problem. I play PGA Tour 2K25 without any crashes or problems. The only game I am currently playing that has an issue is Avowed. I am really looking forward to the new patch, but I did not see anything in the notes about addressing this specific issue. Are there plans to address this? Obviously there are many people experiencing it since they have posted here and on Reddit. Please, help me play your game.

After downloading the update (1.3.0), the game ran great for three hours. I was just starting to think it was fixed when.... crash. I then crashed again about 15 or 20 minutes later. Since then, I have played about 10 hours. During that time, the game has crashed on me approximately 8 times. So, a little less often than once per hours. This is an improvement, however the crashed don't come every hour. They happen whenever they happen. Two of them came within 10 minutes of each other. So, I continue to have to manually save the game every few minutes while I'm playing so that I don't have to replay too much of the same thing. Especially conversations, and trying to remember the choices I made. I genuinely feels like the game just gets bogged down by assets and then freezes up because it can't seem to let stuff go. I still also get some vibration in the audio and those flashing video glitches. Both usually go away if I restart the game, but not always. And considering how often the game crashes on me, forcing me to add additional restarts feels pretty frustrating. Can anyone please provide an update on whether this is even being investigated? And when a fix might go out? Is it just on the Game Pass version as a way to try and push people to buy the game? HELP!
