Stop the "Graphics driver has crashed" lies!

Seriously, almost every time I get this, my graphics driver has NOT crashed. I get no telltale screen flicker, I get no disruption to other apps, nothing that would typically be indicative of a graphics driver crash. The graphics driver hasn't crashed. YOUR GAME has crashed. And YOU need to fix it and stop trying to make people believe it's their hardware!


My GPU is not overheating, and monitoring indicates SE isn't coming close to using up all my onboard VRAM. Also, after SE crashes, it does something to the driver in a way that the game stutters horrifically until I force a manual reload with Win+CTRL+Shift+B. Note that this does not affect any other game I play. I can run Far Cry 5 or New Dawn with maxed out HD settings immediately after such a crash with no problems. Only SE has the problem with stuttering after it has done something to make itself crash. So I can surmise that SE is doing something harmful to my system that no other application does. This needs to be fixed, and you need to stop trying to lay the blame on peoples' systems. By causing harm and trying to conceal it, you're treading very close to malware territory.

This is still going on, and not solved.


For the record, Keen have already acknowledged that this message is in error, yet haven't changed it. Which is the least they can do until they actually resolve the problem. This is literally a 5 min job to change the message.

If they don't change the message, people will rightly think there is an issue with their system when nothing is wrong. They may even spend money on needless upgrades/cooling etc.

I found that increasing Virtual Memory fixed my issue, I was getting the same error, I have a 3060 Ti, and SE was throwing a graphics driver error! I finally pinned the error to a lack of Virtual Memory allocated to Windows, After giving it 3 Gigabytes of VM the error stopped. I have no idea if this will solve your problem, but id did for me, I hope that this can help you :)

It also did for me.


But I think it's kinda strange that SE is the only Game which got Problems with that.
