d3d fatal error
has anyone successfully fixed this problem yet? i've basically done everything capcom said + other methods and nothings fully worked, i can only get to a certain point and then it crashes again and i have to redo the same sequence over and over again for nothing. i know its prob just a game bug or something that they need to fix on their end but i'm getting frustrated

Turn off Ray Tracing and see if it fixes it. It's been a constant issue with the RE Engine games. Happens in RE2 Remake with it on as well.

i checked the ray tracing and it's completely off, i can't even turn it on if i wanted to, so im not really sure what else to do with that

You're running out of VRAM, lower textures until the VRAM usage is white (or at least orange) in the settings menu

I have a 4090, I disabled RT but it's still crashing with the same d3d error all the time

if i’m being honest i hope it’s a game bug that they can fix cause i’ve ran out of things to try and fix it myself

What is your texture quality setting?
Keelan Mar 25, 2023 @ 2:33pm 
It's vram issue. Turn off RT, put shadows on high instead of max reduces vram usage a lot. Textures on 2 GB if you have 8gb card, 3gb+ on 10gb

You are going to get a lot of recommendations that may or may not work. The fact is you can still get crashes if you turn off RT or if you get your VRAM usage out of the red/orange. This is simply something that needs to be fixed by Capcom.

Honestly turning off RT didn't work for me. I get the D3D crash still, and no I'm probably not running out of VRAM. I am using a 6900xt and am sitting at like 8gb/16gb according to the settings. The game just needs a patch.

I saw a thread about this, worried, beat the game on hardcore in one sitting with ZERO ISSUES, started a NG+, and get the error every five minutes now. The only thing that changed between the two runs is I let nvidia optimize the settings for me.

3080 Ti here, had this problem too and all I did was lower shadow quality to high, everything else is at max including RT and I've had no crashes since

This is a dupe of my post from
FATAL D3D ERROR (25)
please list your system specs if you are having trouble after doing a driver upgrade please reinstall your video drivers using the DDU method.

If you are unsure about using DDU make a system image of your OS drive then use DDU to remove your existing drivers

You should reinstall/upgrade your video card drivers using the DDU method ALWAYS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSiJkMnDcg4

Get the latest version of DDU from:

https://www.wagnardsoft.com/

In case you need it always download your Nvidia drivers from

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

one of the advantages of using DDU to remove drivers is it provides a simple way of rebooting into safe mode to remove the old drivers easily and after which you reboot into normal windows and install your drivers without issue.

.
You can slim down nvidia's driver to remove all the bloatware with a tool called NVSlimmer

Is everyone having this problem on AMD setups with an Nvidia card?
Thius person says there's no problem.

MOBO:Asus x570 Extreme
RAM:64GB (3600mhz)

No Error 👊🤛🤜


This problem also shows up with monster hunter.

the latest Nvidia drivers are
NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Drivers 531.41 WHQL
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

use NVSlimmer to remove the bloat from them before you install. be careful not to remove the nvidia control panel as that is now separate from the drivers

I can confirm that the crashes also happen with 3GB. Which is a problem, because low-res texture issues begin to happen at 2GB or lower.

No. I'm running an Intel/Nvidia setup with the same issue.

Then RT is now probably on unless you have a lower end GPU
