GPU Crash

[Khazad__]

Hello everyone.

My game keeps crashing (like alot) . I've looked at the crash logs of the game and it gives me two errors:

Something named "CreationRenderer_checkpoints.." and "GPU crash"


Can someone explain what this crash means? It happends every 10 minutes, sometimes it takes an hour before happening again..

Can someone explain what this crash means and how to fix it..

Game runs with AMD chill, locked on max 60fps. Turned off FSR etc etc. Temps are fine.

Running on: AMD 7900XTX 24GB - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - 32GB RAM -SSD

That sure sounds interesting.

I'm not an expert in Radeon drivers (I'm more of an NVidia & Intel guy, sorry).

The .exe does not seem to be needed for the drivers to work.

I don't recommend an uninstall, but if this is Adrenaline (or whatever it's called), maybe can you disable it for Starfield?

Maybe try do de-install it (NOT the driver!), and try again.

OR it's just the software freaking out because the driver crashed and had to be restarted by Windows.
(See my latest post, it probably IS the software freaking out because the driver crashed)

I recommend again running the game until a crash with Afterburner running in the background drawing those funny diagrams.
Maybe you'll find a pattern.

If it's driver crashes (and given that post I missed, it IS):
- Check those Afterburner drawings up to the crash
- Try to underclock/undervolt your GPU, maybe the crashes will fade away (if FurMark only runs for a short amount of time, try MSI Kombustor)
- Fiddle with GFX settings

Im getting alot of game crashing. Seems to be random aswell. Just boots me off to desktop

Missed that.
It's the driver that crashes.

Afterburner in the background.
Check VRAM usage, temps.

Possible:
- VRAM run out
- Temps too hot
- Bugs in the driver
- Brownouts of PSU

Could be hardware, driver, game (triggering bugs in driver).

Check those Afterburner diagrams.
Underclock/undervolt, lower/diasable GFX features.

Guys, not goin now through all comms, if it was solved im sorry. I had the same problem with my 7900xtx. Just make a custom profile in adrenaline and set up custom GPU Tuning and set the max frequency to 2700/2800 (i have 2800). Since then I had 0 crashes. It seems the game does not cope well with our overclock frequency that our cards boost.

Then those factory OCs aren't safe from the start.

FurMark/Kombustor should reveal these.

Underclock/undervolt your GPU then.
Heavy factory OCs won't help your GPU to last long..

What worked for me. cap your fps! I set mine at 60 fps and was able to play for a few hours without crashing. Crashes usually occurred when it was loading the next environment and happened every 30/60 minutes or so.

You can set that in your GPU settings (NVIDIA/AMD settings)

ok trying 60 fps cap

[bloodturd]

still crashing :/

Try drop the core clock 200-300MHz with MSI afterburner and see if that changes anything.

[bloodturd]

tried 2800mhz, still crashing but potentially had better luck/a good streak? will lower to 2700 and try again tomorrow

[bloodturd]

still crashing with 2700mhz core clock, crashing with amd chill set to min 30 max 60, crashes with amd frame rate target control

submitted a support ticket to bethesda and they're escalating it

People from reddit say that disabling upscaling completely fixes similar issues.

I just played like two whole days without a crash! FSR2 is on and with a render resolution scale to a 100 (those two options gave other people a lot of troubles) The only thing I changed was making sure my GPU fans always spin instead of only spinning when the GPU gets above 50 degrees c. This includes running AMD Adrenaline while playing.

Dont know if it solves the issue for everyone. But its worth a try if you're having troubles!

I got a 7900 xtx and had random crashes since early release.
Tried everything.
I got it to work well now with setting AMD Chill to min and max 40 fps.
Still get crashes due to driver timeout at 60.

are you doing this in conjunction with capping framerate at 60 and lowering the voltage of the core clock to 2700mhz or so?
