Crash on latest AMD driver 24.1.1

[Batz Hammz]

Do not install latest AMD drivers, it causes this game to crash

Game works fine for me, but I used DDU by Wagnardsoft while in safe mode and using the written instructions on the DDU website prior to installing this driver for my 6700 XT. Furthermore, it seems the newly featured Fluid Motion Frames work pretty well with Elden Ring.

My game is now crashing on all driver versions after updating my drivers, I have used DDU and rolled back to 23.12.1 and it's still crashing when I attempt to move my character

Had that ♥♥♥♥ on older drivers as well, had to do the most annoying things ever to make it work (had huge help from dark-breed, you could try to talk with him) after this it worked again. Decided I'd install the new drivers and now the crashes are back, I move for a few minutes in game and it crashes. I'm so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ done with AMD.

Check event viewer logs of the crash to verify the causes of these crashes. Do this rather than guess at a culprit, as misinforming others is likely to cause more problems down the road.

DDU, install old drivers, and reinstall of game seems to have fixed the issue for now. Going to update to 24.1.1 again to test.

[Batz Hammz]

Update: Reinstalled game, updated to 24.1.1 again and crashed persist.

Event Viewer doesn't show anything of note other than the app crashed

It Shows a access violation and a offset at least, post the log i'm interested in what caza will read out if it.

Uninstall/reinstall of the game fixed the issue even on 24.1.1, but is very inconvenient. I wonder what the offending files are. A shader cache reset in drivers did not resolve the issue when I first tried it.

Thanks for posting that. I generally don't update my graphics drivers unless I run into issues and this is why. I take the if it aint broke don't fix it approach. It's worked out well so far. I say thanks because I was actually thinking of doing it despite nothing being wrong. Glad I didn't after reading your post.

Good looking out.

Yeah it's generally best just to leave your drivers unless you're having issues or want to play new AAA titles which are supported by later drivers versions. Darkbreed actually recommended I use 23.8.1 or 23.8.2, stuck with 23.8.1 and it seems to be fine. Although in my case it was a defective ram module. So I'm not sure how newer drivers would behave on my system.

[Batz Hammz]

I wanted to try AMD's new Fluid Motion Frames otherwise I never update

This is interesting, it could point to a file damage at the gamefiles by a gpu driver fault but actually i have no idea how.

Haven't had any crashes yet but performance has been hit quite dramatically.
