Drivers crash, windows disables the graphics card in device manager. Hard restart is the only option, then turn off the power supply to re-initialize the graphics card bios in a clean state, turn it all back on, then boot into a low resolution windows, open device manager, enable the graphics card, reboot again, and all is well.
If you hard restart before a full crash (as soon as your monitors go into standby), you can just reboot without going through all the other stuff.
If you wait too long, windows literally thinks you pulled the graphics card out of its slot on the motherboard so it disables it and you have to manually re-enable it once windows boots again.
Can't wait for the day that Windows can actually just unload and reload crashed drivers properly. But then Windows Update wouldn't be able to harass us to restart all day long.
I get this all the time now when playing The Planet Crafter.
HAH !!! I can't wait for the day that Windows actually works properly with drivers. So sick an tired of seeing "Windows has blocked an application from accessing graphics hardware" on a few of my favourite games....
Maybe Intel brings some change here? Do understand if there isn't much hope though.
Hello,
unfortunately I have the same problem. I can play for about 1 hour then the AMD driver crashes, unfortunately there is no way in the game to send an error message directly to the manufacturer :(
In the long run it's pretty annoying, so I save my game progress every 5 minutes.
So the only likely solution to the problem is to get a different GPU. Driver issues can usually be fixed by installing the latest driver, this of course also requires that you install the latest updates to windows, don't have a bunch of crap running in the background in your OS and such too.
But if none of that works, then it's likely that the AMD GPU driver is just not very good. If Microsoft supplies a driver, it might not be as good performance-wise, but it may be an idea to use that instead. So completely uninstall any AMD driver and just use the Microsoft driver.
When I was setting up my whole automated crafting factory, I believe that I was there for 4 - 5 hours in one session building everything and setting up all of the auto crafters and drone supply/demand settings on the crafters and storage. All of this was using the 23.7.1 drivers.
I honestly haven't had any major problems with the GPU side of things for years, and the last problem I had with the driver package in general was when I was playing around with connecting the card through an A/V receiver. The HD Audio driver just kept dying. This problem was fixed last year.
Anyway, for stability problems, I would seriously suggest checking heat and power. These can affect the system in really weird ways. Make sure that your PSU isn't struggling, and if you have a GPU with multiple power connectors, be sure that you have them connected using separate PCI-E power connectors if you can. If you are using the pigtails on the connector to connect multiple power connectors, the wires will allow more current to flow, this causes the wires to heat up and it will increase resistance in the wires. This can then cause the PCI-E power connector to supply less than 12v, causing the GPU to be unstable.
Maybe, it's a problem with your ram... Just some time ago my games crashed every 20 min in games, so i checked everything on google/reddit with similar problem but my problems was Unityplayer.dll because i have overclocked ram (X.M.P on your bios) so try to disable it. Now my game run without a crash with a RX 6600.
I agree with you Skoritz. A lot of people play with AMD Gpu and do not have problem. If you want to know what is wrong use HWINFO64 or SPECCY programs to see your temperature and differents setings.
AMD drivers are generally superior to Nvidia's most of the time. The whole 'AMD bad drivers mytho stems from the old ATI days, when ATI's shoddy drivers effectively killed the Rage 128 accelerator and stumbled the og Radeon cards. Radeon drivers have been generally solid since the re-org to the Catalyst branding some 15 years ago.
