Graphics Driver crash (unplayable since economics update) - additional testing and logs

DarkDvr shared this feedback 4 years ago

After the economy update (could be a coincidence) I'm having graphics driver crashes after 5-10 minutes of play.

I know for a fact that it's not my system, since SE is he only game this happened to since.. years and years? List of games that play perfectly on the same machine: The Division 2, WoW, BF4, Greedfall, Deus Ex MD, even Surge 2 doesn't crash (that game is a mess) and a ton of indie games (a dozen or so). Not a single game has this issue, and I play a lot of those games.

Possible causes:

  • Overheating: nope, 980Ti stable at 77-80C, standard for this card, far more demanding games are working perfectly fine for hours with 0 crashes ever.
  • CPU overheating: not even close, 7700K running at around 60C, not even trying.
  • HDD: nope, running from a Samsung SSD, just like all other games.
  • RAM: I noticed no memory leak when crash happens.
  • OS: nope, latest Win 10 with updates
  • Drivers: all updated, including chipset, GPU, peripherals.
  • Game files corrupted: nope, cleaned SE completely (including %appdata% folders) and reinstalled. No change.
  • Mods: nope, obviously first thing I tested. And besides, no mods should crash the rendering engine.

I also noticed that sometimes new DLC armor textures glitch out, and game crashed a couple of times when applying them. So perhaps something relating to engine's handling of textures.

Another thing I haven't tried is not running a twitch stream in a browser on another window. Maybe SE hates that. Would still be a bit that needs fixing, though.

Also, I'm using a GSync monitor, and fps for SE is capped at 60 fps through Nvidia inspector. Will try without it as well, just for funzies.

I can upload the crash logs, but it basically throws a ParallelTasks exception.After the economy update (could be a coincidence) I'm having graphics driver crashes after 5-10 minutes of play.

I've tried shutting down any extra apps and services - browser windows, GPU software, etc. No change.

I had same crashes when playing on someone's server (lightly modded). So it's client-side.

I also noticed that sometimes new DLC armor textures glitch out, and game crashed a couple of times when applying them. So perhaps something relating to engine's handling of textures. It's further supported by the warnings in the dx11.log about missing textures, although in game I saw no missing textures.

Also, I'm using a GSync monitor, and fps for SE is capped at 60 fps through Nvidia inspector. I've tried setting everything to "application controlled" and removing the FPS limit - still crashes.

PS: if you tell me to update my gpu drivers or shut down any unused programs, I swear I'll find you and I will pour hot chocolate all over your couch (AKA read the second paragraph).

Just flying around the planet will always cause the driver crash within 20 minutes max.

To everyone still plagued by this.


I think I might have found a possible culprit, surface ore rocks.

They seem to cause a spike when loading, leading to the crash, more likely the more are loaded at the same time.

Try playing on a planet without these and see if that helps.
