[solved] Crash crash crash!

[Flamboyant Douchebaggery]

I started playing yesterday and started getting Direct3D 11 crashes. After googling around, I found a note about a DirectX 10/11 Overlay problem with steam. So I've disabled steam community in-game. Now, after about 20 min of playing I just get a straight up Bioshock has crashed error.

Here's the error details from windows 7 event viewer:

For whomever has these issues, the sum of Bioshock's 'fixes' are:
1. Disable Steam Community
2. Follow: http://forums.2kgames.com/showthread.php?226581-Possible-fix-for-Bioshock-Infinite-Crashing-2K-Irrational-Nvidia-should-address-this
3. Follow: http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/bioshock-infinite-6060/pc-stuttering-fix-1430346/

That probably takes care of 90% of issues.

Are you using the 314.22 Video Driver?

Disabling steam community doesn't do anything, Nvidia inspector shows a blank screen and this PoolSize fix didn't work either. Are there any other solutions?

Migz: I'm using the 320.00 beta driver. It's been running stable on ultra settings on my GTX 550ti for 2 days straight now.

vince: Disabling steam community takes care of the direct3d 11 error. If Nvidia inspector shows a blank screen you got bigger problems. Maybe you don't have an Nvidia card? I'm not sure the solution for AMD, but you definitely need to update to the latest drivers and see if you can underclock your card if it still doesn't work.

I'm trying, Wacky, but it doesn't like my video card :(.

You want to post details on your setup? Open a command console and type dxdiag
and paste the info here. You can do 'Save All Information' and get the details from that text fie.

Underclocking my GTX670sc worked to avoid the crashes BUT it was noticeable the lack of speed in the fps (specially at Ultra preset settings), so i set back to the default video speed settings and instead i just activated the vsync for the bioshock's .exe in the nVidia Control Panel and set the LOCK FRAMERATE option to OFF in Bioshock's graphics settings, it works perfect now.

Hope this works for everyone. Cheers!

Also make sure you have Dynamic Shadows set to High - Ultra is broken.
