NVIDIA has some serious driver issue

[Nezmeriz]

It seems that nvidia is aware about the random crashes on RTX3000 series but it seems that all nvidia cards have issue with random crashes as of now. Lucky for those who has non.

also each time my game crashes I get this error in event viewer: https://imgur.com/a/nfEh0k1

My setup: i9 9900KS. 32GB RAM, RTX 3080 12GB, latest NVIDIA drivers 531.41 (clean install with DDU in safe mode)

and I have also tried to replace both libraries (but didn't help)
nvngx_dlss.dll - newest one
oo2core_9_win64.dll - one version older

4000 series seem to be running the game fine (in terms of stability)

There are some users with RTX4000 series also having the same random crash issue, but it is questionable if it is driver issue or game issue.

I haven't had a crash yet on a 3090 with latest drivers. It's probably because I have 64GB of RAM and 24GB of VRAM. The game should be programmed to properly allocate RAM and VRAM though and not crash if the usage exceeds the users available memory on the system.

I have RTX3080 12GB, 32 GB RAM and i9 CPU and even when I put everything on LOW it crashes randomly in 5/10 minutes of gameplay. Realy weird and sad I have to refund the game as for now and will wait until resolved either by new drivers or patch for the game.

.. and I have constant (and seemingly random) crashes since day 1. 3070 here.

No I was first! https://steamcommunity.com/app/1888930/discussions/0/6197556602752627338/

Lol but this issue has been happening for about 5 months from my research. And isn't even only affecting 30 series like they say.
Please fill out the feedback form on the forum or contact Nvidia about this issue

It's the freaking libraries included in the game:
nvngx_dlss.dll
oo2core_9_win64.dll

DLS library should be newer. oo2 library should be 1 version older. It was a crash-fest for me on the 3090 Ti before I decided on replacing those files.

Yesterday I had 0 crashes during my 3 hours of gameplay. Someone tell these idiots at Galaxy that they should change those files so all of us on 30-series stop suffering.

Maybe they could just read these forums and change this already. I keep having to replace those files because they keep on putting the wrong files on every update!!!!

Thank you and sorry didn't see your post. Once again thanks. Will also report directly to nvidia.

Unfortunately this did not help me at all I have replaced those two files DLSS.dll and oo2core_9_win64.dll but same result random crashes even on lowest settings :(

Ha no worries! I am just glad one of our posts is alive right now. Probably a lot of people still not aware of the issue.
One of the threads I linked show that if you have OCCT you can reproduce the issue out of a game by running 95% VRAM test and ending it after 5 seconds. It'll show the event again in Event Viewer.
Edit: I can no longer consistently reproduce this error with OCCT. Not sure why. It is listed as an open issue for 531.41 though
Edit 2: Actually I tried the test again and ended it more quickly and now am getting the event

i7-11700K @ 3.6ghz, 32GB DDR4 3200mhz, ROG STRIX RTX3080Ti 12GB,
WD BLACK 2TB SN850X M.2 NVMe, Win10 Pro 64bit

Running at Ultra 1440p, with Quality DLSS settings, no vignette, no motion blur, no chromatic abberation, no film grain.

No problems with the game. It's a resource hog, sure, but I run between 50 and 120 frames depending on the scene. Gameplay feels smooth. Zero crashes, almost no stutters, I experienced a stutter maybe 3 times during the intro scene when entering the town.

They do need to find out a way to better optimize that VRAM usage though. I have to run with DLSS if running at Ultra, whereas other games I can run native resolution without DLSS and have no problems.

Hello. Please which nvidia drivers are you using? Thanks

531.41, the most recent. I also did a fresh install of Windows on my new NVMe SSD 5 days prior to release, so everything is fresh.

For all the people that is having crashes. Can you please check how much VRAM do you have on your GPU and how much RAM is the executable of the game using?

Total VRAM used for me is under 9GB but it still crashes. 3080 10GB.
