Game crashing very often

[mr worldwide]

My game crashes 2-3 times every match, and sometimes i even get a BSOD. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I am getting the same problem actually happened just now. The scary part is sometimes I can’t even get back into windows when this bsod happens. I am using my phone while fixing the blue screen issue. It only happens when I play deadlock online, private with bots it never crashes or bsod

Going to have to go to the official deadlock forums and warn valve about this

as far as i'm aware it could be a GPU overheating problem. I have not tried a fix for it yet, i'll keep you updated

My only thought is to roll back a GPU driver but now I don’t even want to play the game. I can’t keep having this bsod issue and I’ve abandoned 2 matches because of this now.

I’ve gotten back into windows and weirdly enough Deadlock is verifying files. I did not tell it to do this before the crash, no other Steam games are verifying files just Deadlock

Driver shouldn't be an issue, I've tried that already and it didn't work. Setting a GPU power limit doesn't work either, I tried both 90% and 80% yet I still get crashes. I honestly have no clue what the issue could be since this is the only game that does this

Any chance you both are using a recent Intel CPU?

I am using a AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D

and mine's an amd ryzen 5 5600x, but I really doubt it's a CPU issue. Next thing might be RAM, but then again I have 32gbs so i'm not sure

I’m doing benchmarks on 3Dmark and some other games, GPU tempt sits around 60c with hotspots of 75 - 87c but global is 62c

Did a CPU bench on 3Dmark and hottest it got was 69c

Ran multiple times, no crashes, fans did their normal routine and went back to idle when it was over, PC not blowing warm air at all.

I played 30 minutes of Counter-Strike 2 high settings getting a solid 240fps which is the same FPS I capped Deadlock on. I played multiple deathmatch maps online. No crashing, PC had same temps.

I posted this bug on the deadlock forums along with this discussion post for reference. When you look at Deadlock forums there’s a lot of posts about crashing, not all saying bsod but a lot of crashing.

I don’t know I think the game is just not stable for some configurations and it’s possible AMD builds are the problem, keep in mind AMD builds are not fully tested because Nvidia is more popular, could be a driver not playing nice with deadlock, could be the shader compilation patch causing it in the latest Deadlock update.

I roll backed to AMD Adrenalin Driver 24.9.1 and just played a 30 minute game without a single crash! Online with other players and not once did it crash. I can't confirm it completely but before whenever I played with driver 24.10.1 I crashed and BSOD every time. Now it seems to work. So rollback if you have an AMD GPU

Could you please update if you've tested the game since then?

Just played 3 games now, last one was 45 minutes and not a single crash, rolling back drivers for AMD worked for me, so you want to rollback to 24.9.1

New update: I got a match with 5 instances of crashing, this time it did not blue screen the computer so it's still possible the driver rollback is keeping it from blue screen crashing. Here's a tip I read that I followed during this issue when you re-launch the game wait until the text bubble at the top stops trying to compile shaders then click Rejoin, I didn't risk it but maybe bluescreen triggered when I didn't wait to hit Rejoin but I cannot confirm any of what I just typed. Just a guess again like always.

This is really strange but if you look around Steam discussions there's so many posts about crashing for different reasons, I think this newest patch is just insanely buggy so I think I'm going to have to cold turkey this game for a while and come back when it's significantly improved.
