AMD Driver Timeouts

[Wounderlist]

Driver Timeouts got worse after recent patch. Before i only faced it a couple of times in campaign, and never in operations. Now i literally cant play operations, it crashes within couple minutes. GPU RX7600

Reduce all settings until you are below 60% GPU usage at all times. Driver timeouts happen when you stress the card beyond this point.

It's the only thing that works when you have a faulty card, 7000 series is plagued with issues.

You should of course RMA the card and hope they send you a better one.

Issues like what exactly? Have a 7900 xtx and the only game that crash is SM 2. For me timeout as OP posted.
Driver issue or engine issue.
They released a beta driver for the game but only went from permacrash to less often sadly

This is plain bad advice. Ignore it.

5800 X3d + 7900 XTX, charity game copy here, runs fine, even with mods.
Reinstall drivers, maybe disable some of that peripheral bloatware (Razer synapse, Logitech hub etc) while playing.
Force run the game's .exe with admin privileges

This appears to be a known issue with AMD driver 24.8.1, per the release notes [www.amd.com]

Known Issues
Intermittent driver timeout or application crash while playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. We recommend users experiencing this issue to install our new driver, available HERE [www.amd.com]

I'm using a 7900 and why I have been holding off on this version until AMD formally releases it through the automated updater.

I am already on 24.10.37.10, crashes happened muuuch more often on 24.8.1, like literally unplayable. Somehow setting FSR 2 on "balanced" helped me with crashes.

I'm CPU limited, the GPU isn't tested, SM2 is basically CPU limited for everyone. What are you basing your statement on?

This actually seems to have worked for me. At least on a mission I was constantly crashing at specific points I was able to play through the whole mission. I also have graphic settings to low as I was previously testing that to see if it helped. I'm worried about turning that back up since it seems to be working now though. It takes too long to get to the points I know I crashed at to test easily.

I've heard some pretty foolish things in my time but this is up there. So you're proposing that a large portion of players all experiencing this exact issue should RMA their cards because they're all faulty? This boys and girls is what's known as trustmebro tech support.

It seems that I resolved the driver crashes by disabling FSR and running in native 2K (tried beta drivers which worsen the situation actually), so you may try that and see if it fixed the issue.

CPU: Ryzen 9 7950X3D
GPU: RX 7900 XTX

I got this crash many times, especially playing the 6th operation (Ballistic Engine).

I "solved" this issue by lowering all video settings.

Yet, this is not the sollution that we're expecting, so let's wait (sadly).

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.8.1 (08/23/2024)
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X
GPU: RX 7600 XT

I'm running AMD 5700XT and I was stuck at the Archmagos cutscene.
I tried lowering everything and a few fixes and it mostly didn't work. I just put everything to HIGH and restored my previous settings, so it's not a hardware problem.
I found that if you go to your Steam Library, right click on Space Marine 2 > Properties > General > Launch Options > ( write : -dx 11 ) and that should give you just enough time to skip the cutscene so you can enter the game and play. I don't know if it will crash more but at least you can enter the game without losing progress. Hope this works for you!

Hello. Latest version of Radeon drivers 24.10... here and the freezes continue.
I have a good PC with an older CPU but with a current GPU... X470 gaming + ddr4 3600 + RX7900 xtx /R53600x.
I lowered from 4k to 2k. It improved, but today it froze again in the first campaign...
In the story it had already frozen two or three times.
It would be good to know if there are freezes and crashes in this game with Nvidia GPUs...
This reminds me of problems that appear with overclocked RAM memory... Testing work is needed...
It is not simply a CPU bottleneck, as there are people with super powerful CPUs up there reporting freezes... Good luck.

Another day, another AMD thread. Jyst deal with it. It is AMD.

I reverted to 24.7.1, to reduce white flickering on loading screens but didn't have driver related crushes up to 24.10.1
Had some crashers playing with 4k textures last week before boosting fan speeds a little.

Try removing 4k texture pack and disabling zero rpm. If it's already disabled/not a thing on 7600 just increase fun curve 5-10% at each step.

Game is CPU limited but VERY memory hungry and fan speed are only attached to GPU temperature. That mean that memory might not be cooled enough because GPU itself is chill so fan speed is low, while VRAM at full load. Removing 4k reduces CPU load on unpacking and transferring textures allowing GPU to work more and trigger higher fan speeds and/or directly reduce memory utilisation and temperature.
