Game crashes when trying to load save in DX12 mode (AMD 7900XTX) [SOLVED]

[Smorski]

I've been trying to get DX12 to work in the game for the past couple days, but it seems no matter what solutions I find (editing graphics card registry, DDU, different resolutions, uninstalling and reinstalling the game), the game refuses to want to play in DX12. The game will launch and I will get to the main menu, but as soon as I load my save game, it crashes in the loading screen.

I've been playing in DX11 mode, however I feel like the lack of performance optimizations that comes with DX12 makes the experience suffer a fair bit, as I'm only getting around 60 FPS on a 1440p Display.

Computer Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7900X3D
GPU: XFX Merc318 7900XTX
RAM: 64 GB DDR5 6000MT/s G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo
Motherboard: Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite
SSD: WD 500GB M.2 SSD]

EDIT: For those who are also experiencing the same issue, downgrading to driver version 24.5.1 resolved my issue. I had zero crashes thus far from using DX12 thankfully. (Thanks to aquaforte for their comment.)

Hi,
Similar problem here: after 28hrs without any bug, I updated adrenalin to version 24.6.1, then no way to play it in dx12 anymore, UE4 pendriverpro crash "please send report" closing windows. Its dx11 only now.

So you were able to play fine using the previous driver? If that's the case I might downgrade then.

I can confirm that downgrading the driver to 24.5.1 solved the problem for me. The game now launches in DX12 mode with no issue and I'm already seeing the performance uplift. Thank you aquaforte!

You welcome.

Can confirm, worked fine before the new driver update (24.6.1). With the new driver its now crashing.

I just got the game and it crashes when I try to open it with the same UE4 crash report thing, so I'll try old drivers. Currently on 23.40.33.03 on a 7900XTX. Thanks for your help!

Edit:
Switched to 24.5.1 but still doesn't seem to work for me.

Maybe its a feature: all the quircks and dysfunctionnement from the car management inside the game is purposely extended to the whole software in the PC and the GPU, from intradiegetic to extramimetic. -You're the played player of a videogame playing with your pc etc, metagaming style...

same problem on 7900TXT

[Raymondcello]

same. 7900xtx and game crashes on loading save file indefinitely.

[griddark]

It's affecting the 6x00 series as well, can't play in DX12.

Same for me, doesnt load into game anymore since driver update. (7900XTX)

[BassoCoda]

7800XT Last update has the same issue

6700XT. Keep crashing while using 24.6.1 and 24.5.1. Switching to DX11 really issues some performance problems.

[SlyRu]

I can't even start the game, it crashes when I click to begin the mission. 7800XT user here. Any solutions?

The crash we're talking about here isn't the typical UE crash. It started happening after a driver update, so either AMD or the game developers need to fix it.
