RX 5700 XT

Anyone else having issues with this graphics card? The only suggestion I've gotten so far is to reinstall the drivers and that hasn't helped. I can't even get past the background selection screen before I get an error and the game locks up.

My 5 year old pc plays the game, just with a few mods to lower foliage and ♥♥♥♥.

Anyway, I get a memory overload or something like that. Already forgot what the exact error is.

As an aside, I also can't play Conan Exiles either. But the error for that is different, plus I get artifacts on screen, missing eyeballs on NPCs, and flickering of my character on creation.

I'm assuming it's drivers and this is new hardware, ♥♥♥♥ I don't want to wait months for a driver that works.

you need to contact customer support for your card and let them know whats going on.
they can help you way better then we can.

Was hoping for a fix as, like modding games, players tend to fix stuff much faster than the devs. Not meaning anything towards Kenshi, but in general.

The current drivers for my card are a couple of weeks old so I'm not feeling to good about it getting fixed officially any time soon.

your having issues in other games as well, its most likely the card or drivers themselves.

try downloading older drivers.

but you should still put in a support ticket with the people who make the drivers for your card.
or better yet, they most likely have a forum. check that out.

Hey, big AMD fan but haven't put together a new system yet. I've seen a few issues here and there on /r/AMD with other games, but it'd be great if you could tell us more about what the error is first.

Assuming it's nothing related to missing direct x components or something else in the sticky. here's a few things for you to try:

• Uninstall graphics drivers entirely with DDU in safe mode.
  
• Install latest graphics drivers via AMD's website.
  
• Update your motherboard BIOS.
  
• If you're using a PCIE extender/riser make sure it's specifically compatible with 4.0 or don't use it if you can get around it.
  
• Switch PCI settings in BIOS from auto to Gen3.
  
• Disable any CPU/GPU monitoring software (MSI Afterburner etc).
  
• Disable anti-lag/enhanced sync
  
• Set monitor freesync range to extended instead of basic.
  
• Cap the game's FPS
  
• Disable freesync entirely

Unfortunately it's been a bit of a messy card launch of team red this time around, I imagine they're working hard on fixing it but right now there's been quite a lot of issues reported with these cards.

Moving this thread to bug reports.

Do you happen to have a monitor that support G-snyc? If so, please tell me the monitor resolution you were using when it crashed.

Starting from the first
Did that, (using DDU) also tried rolling back my drivers but older drivers WILL NOT install. In normal windows it hangs on detecting hardware, reboot into safe mode and get an error 99 (or 099 I think) the message is about invalid certificate, fix is to reboot and disable the certificate check, so I do so, but now it's no longer in safe mode and hangs on detecting hardware, reboot again into safe mode and get the error 99 again. Latest drivers install instantly and cleanly.

Motherboard bios is currently the latest, It's a Tomahawk B450 so I had to update it before I could install the new chip. No idea what a PCIE extender is, some sort of adapter? I'll google it, but I don't believe I'm using that.

Switch PCI settings in BIOS, I'll take a look at that.

As far as I know the monitoring software that comes packaged with the drivers is disabled. I did have it turned on yesterday but it shut down when I tried to get Kenshi to load after doing a clean reinstall of the current 19.7.5 drivers. (as of right now, I just checked to see which driver was current and the thing is showing a new optional driver set is available. I'll download it shortly and check it out.)

Disable anti-lag/enhanced sync, I've tinkered with all the various "syncs", I really need to read more about them. Just generic v-sync seems to make no difference.

FPS, definitely done this, I'm capped it 30 as well as just opening it up just for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles.

Disable Freesync, I believe I've done this. I've unchecked the box, but when you say "entirely" that leads me to believe there might be something I'm missing.

My monitor is 5 years old, I don't believe it supports g-sync, but I really have no idea. I just know that Kenshi plays on the old pc with mods to reduce clutter/foliage/rocks

I am an AMD fan, don't know why, I guess I just like the underdog and every PC I've owned for a couple of decades has been AMD based, except for the videocards because everyone has always told me Radeon is a pita,,,,, guess they were right.

I am trying to be understanding that this is all new hardware, even my cpu is new hardware, Ryzen 5 3600.

Anyway, thanks. Gonna see if the new optional driver helps any.

There was a new driver release yesterday evening that supposedly fixes some stability issues, I'd say it's worth giving it a shot.

To be fair in the past Polaris refresh and Vega stuff released pretty smoothly, there's a lot of speculation they wanted Navi and the latest Ryzen's out on the time frame they committed to but both launches have been quite messy this time around which is a shame.

AMD reps have been quite active on the /r/AMD subreddit so if you're getting issues across the board I'd say it's worth checking back there regularly right now. It's just a pain to buy a new shiny piece of hardware and experience this stuff.

[bunny de fluff]

could you tell me the resolution you chose for the monitor (I know your monitor is not new) when
it crashed ?

[crgzero]

1920*1080 reccomended on this monitor, that's usually one of the first things I change in a game when I'm having issues, switch resolutions.

Driver update did nothing to help Kenshi and now I'm having issues with Rimworld which isn't graphically intense. Haven't tried any other games. Working and sleeping take priority.

ok this might sound stupid, but could you humor me for a minute and change your monitor resolution to something worse than 1080p? Try using a resolution that is only 720 p and play the game. I would appreciate it if you come back and tell me what happen then.

[crgzero]

The lowest res I could set anything to was 1024x768 and the game ran, but it wonked out after character creation and moved to the top left of my screen and my desktop went back to it's standard resolution. The game still ran though, only let it go for about 5 minutes total. I did at least get past character creation. It's like my pc forced it into window mode and shoved it to the side though.

I had tried different resolutions on the previous drivers but with the new one and this, maybe AMD will get this sorted out after all.

Good suggestion, maybe I'll break out my old CRT,,, ehh no it doesn't have the right connection,,

[bunny de fluff]

This is strange. I am out of idea sorry.
