absolutely wrecked me, tried playing at all settings, down to min render scale and it still crashes on impact or when the effects come out
+1 same issue here
Same here. Is impossible to complete it.
OK so I finally managed to do get my second ascension after like 15 attempts and tinkering with the graphics.

I was constantly crashing on the third trial, no idea what was causing it. The rest of the game works fine.

What finally got me the boss was this:

Renderer: changed to Vulkan
Upscale mode: changed from NVIDIA DLSS to FSR
Image Quality: set to Ultra Performace.

The game looked like shit and I was attacked by some invisible mobs (they didn't render, but I saw their health bar floating so I knew where they were). But atleast it didn't crash and I was able to finish the trials.

as for the rest of the settings that were set during the successful run:
Mode: Windowed Fullscreen
Vsync: Adaptive
Dyn res: no
Resolution: 2560 x 1440
Sharpness: 15%
HDR: no
Texture Quality: Medium
Texture filtering: 16x Anisotropic filtering
Lighting: shadows + global Ill
Shadow + GI quality: low
Sun Shadows: low
Number of lights: low
Water detail: high
NVIDIA reflex: on
foreground FPS cap: none
bacground FPS cap: none
Triple-buffering: no
Dynamic culling: no
Target framerate: 120
Engine Multithreading: yes


For reference, I'm running the game on:
Nvidia RTX 3060
Ryzen 7 2700
32GB ram

Hope this helps someone.

Just thought I would chime in and say I can't complete my second ascendancy at Trial of Chaos because 90% of the time I crash 3/4 of the way through.
Same issue, crashed on terracotta boss when doing ice slam ability (happens consistently three times). No difference between dx12 and vulkan
