Video driver crash : ALL THE F TIME !!!!

[Jean-Calv]

I tried EVERYTHING !
All is updated, windows 10, my AMD drivers.
I have a 5700XT and a 3900X
Performance mode is on. Both in video driver and windows system. Game files are checked.
WTF is wrong with this port ?!
It crashes randomly, everywhere. Now I was on the verge of beating the airbender : ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CRASH BEFORE ! I AM SO PISSED !
I also tried DX11 forced mode = SAME THING BUT UGGLIER.
Yes I am pissed big time.
Should I just give up ?
Cheers

Seems like a user problem.

[Jean-Calv]

So it would be just me ? What do you mean user problem?

yea, it sounds like a user error, if I had access to your computer I'll most likely be able to fix your problem.

[Jean-Calv]

That is weird. Do you have like a tutorial or something I can follow for this kind of errors by any chance ?

[andreasaspenberg575]

i experienced the same issue with world of warcraft, turned out that my graphics card was too weak. that is likely your problem here. it likely runs out of memory. your only solution is to lower your settings.

[FireGryph]

What GPU driver version are you using? The 5700xt should not have any issues running this game, but some AMD drivers are more stable than others.

I would recommend uninstalling the drivers with DDU in safe mode, and reinstalling them. THe latest WHQL (recommended) drivers from AMD should be 22.5.1, and I would go along with that recommendation. Most drivers since have had various amounts of instability in a large amount of users.

[Jean-Calv]

It is a 5700 xt red devil. Never had any similar issues with other games. Been playing Elden Rings for hours lately and all was ok.
I trid uninstalling from ssd c:/ and installing to my data drive, exact same issue...

[Jean-Calv]

Graphics are already set on low

Try using the lattest AMD drivers for your GPU AND setting shadows and textures to low, I was having lag (not crashes...) with an G15, RTX 3050, 8GB RAM using textures and shadows on high, I think in my case its probably my SSD (SATA/USB3.0) external storage limited to 450mb/s (by the 5GBPS usb 3.0 speed)... I've not tested on my internal NVME that could have a little more than 4x this speed, BUT, it can be my 1x8GB ram too..

>>> You could do a Windows memory test too to see if you have memory issues (search for memory test on start menu). Take a look in your CPU/GPU temps too, abnormaly high temps can cause crashes even if the PC don't need to be automatically shutdown as sometimes the cpu/gpu can still handle the high temps by using lower clock speed but if it stays on high temps for some time it will eventually crash programs if not windows itself... Could try something like MSI AFTERBURNER to take a look on CPU/GPU temps and other info.

If it's not the CPU/GPU temps, nor memory errors... Can you say what are the full results you have on crystal diskmark for the 2 storage disks you have?

Good luck.

Edit: so... latter on I've seem your answers in the thread, but take a look on the other suggestions I've made, you may encounter something to fix your issue. Speccy are a good program to take a look on the cpu/disk temps, I've not tested MSI Afterburner myself but would be better to see temps and other info ingame.

[Jean-Calv]

Thank you for taking the time. It is super weird I have never experienced that before. Maybe it's just my GPU for this game in particular that can not handle it. I will try to investigate further and might try to update the GPU bios too

[Lucky_Jack]

I also had this problem, but got around it. I have a NVidia driver that has only 6G gpu memroy which is below the minimum requirement of the game (8G). I found that if I reduce the game resolution I could get it to work well enough to play the game. Also, windowed mode seems to require more GPU memory on my machine, so I switched the game to full screen mode to get better results in the game.

[Jean-Calv]

I did try windowed mode too etc.
I think I might try a clean install of windows 10 at some point just to be sure but it is a little bit annoying just to play a single game when it is the only one having an issue.
Even Cyberpunk on day one did not cause as much trouble as this one lol

FYI I did the windows 10 format/clean install, still crashes. I will try some of your advices and see where it goes from there. A user also advised me to change thermal paste of my GPU to see where it goes. But this is weird to get again the LowLevelFatalError !

So, if you're having this issue and only on ff7R even after a clean OS install and using updated drivers this sure is a lot weird.... First of all... performance mode can make your GPU and or cpu heat up faster, I would recommend to use default configs... If you made any changes to your GPU drivers default configs I would take a look at that, and would try to lower almost everything in the game, textures, shadows, maybe resolution and lock fps to 30 too (only temporary to see if the game will still crash), try it to see if it will crash again, lower settings=less heat... If it still crashes I would just uninstall the game and see if there's no leftovers on the steam folder and try to reinstall it... As you mentioned DX 11... If you used any mods it could be something related to that, so maybe cleaning the game folder and reinstalling could fix your issue... I have an Dell G15 with an i5-11400h, RTX 3050 and my only issue was stuttering... Found out that my panel have adaptive sync from 45hz to 120hz, and I needed to turn on Smart Sync (something like vsync) on Intel GPU and fast sync or vsync on Nvidia panel... And disabled windows VRR and hardware GPU scheduling (the two was screwing hard my game with some hiccups)... then I could have an smoother gameplay. I've not tried any mods or any third party solution to fix the stuttering. Do you overclock anything on your PC? If you do this... I would recommend you to try to run your PC without any overclocking too and see what happens...

[Grimzy]

I assume you did not install any mods, because some of them, even after removing leave files behind that can cause crashes. The only other thing I would recommend is uninstall the game, then search and delete any residual FF7 remake folders in documents and other places (appdata, programdata, local folders etc) and reinstall.
