PhuxAche72: Hello all!

It is 2023, and maybe you guys still play or want to play Wolfenstein Colossus, but the wee blue screen crash dump error prevents this, and you may have gave up in the end. It is a great game.

I kid you not, I have had the same problem for years, and finally figured it out.

It has nothing to do with drivers, or you GPU, etc, etc.

Blame Bethesda for this one, and I really have no clue why Bethesda has not done anything regarding this,but then they probably didn't know the answer themselves because the problem is so simple, it is so easy to over look.

The solution is simple, and will never crash again.

MAKE SURE THE RESOLUTION YOU CHOSE IN YOUR GAME MATCHES YOUR NATIVE RESOLUTION OR LESS. IF YOU ARE UPSCALING IN THE GAME MENU HIGHER THAN YOUR NATIVE RESOLUTION THEN THIS CRASH HAPPENS. SO SAY YOUR SCREEN NATIVE RESOLUTION IS 1920x1080, AND YOU UPSCALE TO 4K IN THE GAME, THEN YOU GET THE CRASH DUMP ERROR. IT WILL JUST NOT WORK.

IN ORDER TO STOP THIS,

THEN BEFORE PLAYING COLOSSUS, THEN BE SURE TO SET NATIVE RESOLUTION TO 4K (OR WHAT EVER RES YOU CHOOSE TO UPSCALE TO BEFORE LOADING THE GAME. BEAR IN MIND YOU ARE NOW PLAYING IN A REALISTIC 4K RATHER THAN UPSCALING, YOU SO WILL POSSIBLY GET LAG IF YOUR COMPUTER IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH.


ARE YOU IDIOTS NOT READING WHAT I POSTED?!!!!!

ARE YOU BLIND. I HAVE THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEMS, AND YET YOU ALL STILL FKN SKIP OVER WHAT I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM IS.
My native resolution is 1440p. It was stuck at 1080p, now it is stuck at 640x480 with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Please be civil. No need to call everyone idiots, especially when you are wrong.
I am playing this one at 4K. Encountered all possible problems while trying to change resolution initially, but disabling ASYNC COMPUTE did the trick. Problem is that now, every time I ALT-TAB out, do something even quickly and than ALT-TAB back in, I get the Windows "crash dump etc." error... So I save a lot. But the game apart from this, is behaving pretty well. I am at the very start, but I am going on quite fine. I adored NEW ORDER so I am expecting to at least LOVE this chapter. Oh, and BTW, have been playing Wolfenstein since 3D back in the nineties (or where they the eighties? Cannot remember, man!) and been loving the saga since then!
