Game crashing every 5-10 minutes

[imadrum]

So my game crashes very often and it's making the game almost unplayable seeing as I get more frustrated over time.

I have pretty decent specs in my PC:
Intel i7-4770K processor
EVGA GeForce GTX760 graphics card
Asus vii hero mb
16GB ram

Not sure what the problem is, and why i'm crashing so much. I get a good solid 60fps or so, doesn't get below 60 ever.

Any solution to this?

I have also crash problems in every five minutes, i tried to find a solution on my own, read forums, your tips, watch fixing videos, driver re-install drivers or put back an older nVidia driver, but none of these worked out for me. Is nonsense, i just purchased a very good gaming laptop to finally play games with high graphics settings and i have this problem with the first game what i installed on my brand new config. :/

My configuration is:

Lenovo Y-700 15ISK

- Windows 7 x64
- 1 TB HDD
- 128 GB SSD (Dying light installed on it for the second time i red it would help but nope.)
- i7-6700HQ Processor
- 16 GB DDR4 RAM
- nVidia GTX 960M 4GB DDR5 Graphics card

kind regards

I would install somthing like playclaw or similar they have a free demo version.

This will be able to overlay your CPU and GPU temps live in your game so you can see if heat is the issue.
(This game is rather CPU intensive and does heat up desktop CPU's if they are only running stock heatsinks, not sure what you can do about this with a laptop other than feed it cooler air)

I belive there was once an issue with this game using the Intel GPU on the CPU rather than the laptops dedicated soltion such as the Nvidia card you have in yours.
(Though I am unsure if there was a workaround for this or if the solution was to just install a newer driver to fix it maybe some one else that has had the problem can help out here)

Thank you for your information. I don't think so the overheating is the problem. It might be a hardware problem i also tried with ACS on high graphics it does work perfectly, but on very high specs i have the same crashes so the problem isn't with the game. I can't belive the newest laptop of Lenovo gaming series can't handle with a one year old game even if it's a Laptop i meen i know is less stronger then a PC, but however that type came out 3 month ago with an atom hardware. I bought the laptop one week ago. The CPU and GPU heat seems fine with their 63-64 C*. I made a printscreen about the moment whet it does crash. I have these following results:

I found in nVidia control panel how to change GPU's priority (like games and programs will use which GPU), so i turned to nVidia. Still crashing.

Even if my laptop isn't strong enough to play with high specs it shouldn't crash out, might be slower and running with low FPS but doesn't crash. I'm not sure about this.

Downgrade drivers to an ancient one.
It works for me. Just one crash after 10 hours.
Before, it was unplayable.

Same problem here... I hope that they fix this for tomorrows DLC...
EDIT: I can reproduce de crash, everytime i try the Parkour Fever, End of the Tunnel, when i get in the last bridge, it always crash, ALWAYS. Please devs, i just bought the seasons pass just to play this new DLC...

Guys, i've discovered a fix! Its not the best thing but it works. Just change the resolution to 1 less, for exemple: i use 1680x1050, i've changed to 1400x900 and now it doesnt crash anymore.
At least we can use this until some fix is out...

I have never played Dying Light till yesterday I bought the following enhanced edition, I tried to play the game in fullscreen but as I use my tv as my monitor it only refreshes at 30ghz because it's a big but quite old plasma tv. This caused the game to flash black and on again constantly so I went to windowed mode that fixed it although with the annoying bar at the top of the screen, So I decided to play anyway only to crash to desktop with no error message after 5 to 10 minutes.

I've tried all the fixes I could find online and nothing works no matter what the game dies on me every few minutes even though I have more than the recommended specs.

EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0 Graphics Card (4 GB, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0, HDMI, DVI-I, DVI-D, Display Port, 256-Bit)

16GB Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Jet Black, PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC XMP

Asus P8Z77-V LX Motherboard

I had a few CTD's during specific storyline missions, but when just free roaming or doing side missions its been fine

I fixed my problem in the end, it was a lack of ventilation in my pc case and also a crappy cpu cooler. Whenever I played Dying Light it would turn my pc into a oven because for some reason it forces your cpu to work extremely hard, Try downloading HWMONITOR from the Cpuid site, this software allows you to see your internal core temperatures. Open the software when you are on your windows desktop and look at your temperatures, then if you have a CTD during Dying Light look at the temperatures again as soon as you CTD and see how high they have gone. I know in my case my CPU temperatures were hitting 100c+ at the time and the game CTD because my CPU would auto CTD if my CPU exceeded 90c.

Hope this helps somebody else as it took me a while to figure out my issue.

Forgot to mention if anyone has the fullscreen error like I had, Mine was because my tv at the time which was my monitor only went to 30hz So I couldnt play fullscreen, I ended up fixing it by buying a software on steam called Boarderless Gaming, This lets you play any game fullscreen. I have since gotten a Asus rog swift 144hz 1440p monitor, they are expensive but worth it if you play games a lot.

I played over 350 hours with zero crashes when I had an AMD video card (R9 390). I "upgraded" a month ago to a GTX 1070... and what do you know, the game now crashes randomly to the desktop. Always the same DLL crash is referenced in Event Viewer: rd3d11_x64_rwdi.dll. I tried everything, installing Windows 10 Pro and nVidia drivers from scratch, reinstalling DirectX and Visual Basic runtimes, turning on/off nVidia specific settings, changing resolutions, turning on/off various post-processing graphics settings, no go. The card is going back to the store and I will be "downgrading" to a current AMD card (probably the RX 480).

Here is my story, it has happy end, but not because Techland. First, I asked them, what could cause the problem. I got the same empty answers as everyone else - video drivers, visual c++ , and so on. I tried everything through, nothing helped. I even updated the bios of my graphics card. Then they sent me a letter, saying "try starting a new game". Well, this was the point, where I officially lost it. I got mad, and deleted all the emails with the support. Long story short: someone here mentioned to underclock the gpu. This actually worked for me. I underclocked it with Msi Afterburner. I have a Gtx770, luckiy I can only alter the main gpu clock and the memory clock. I gave both a -100 MHz, and now I can play as long as I want. On 1680x1050, with everything maxed out, I feel the game responding a bit slow, but that can only be my feel. The fps stays over 35, no matter what. With a few extras turned off (nvidia hbao, etc.) it gets a solid 60+ fps, and I also don't have the feel of slow response. I hope it helps you guys.

This did it. Turned off HBAO and took clock -250.

Game crashed every 2-10 minutes on MSI GTX750 Ti 2GB.

NVidia drivers installed were the latest as of december, 2017, downloaded from nvidia web site.

How I solved this. Completely uninstalled all NVidia drivers and software. Downloaded old drivers for my card from MSI website (not nvidia). Version of these drivers is MUCH older than the latest from NVidia website. Now playing 2 hours and game still didn't crash.

Looks like NVidia optimises their new drivers only for the latest graphic cards generation (currently GTX 10**), and making older graphics card work bad.

EDIT: it didn't help. Played one day without crashes and now it crashes every 10-15 minutes again.

Pretty sure the 7xx series has not had updates for quite some time now (only bug fix's).
It is pretty damn old
