anyone knows a fix for the game crashing the GPU?

[EarlSkrubb]

I keep getting a driver timeout when I've been playing sometimes for an hour, sometimes more. I've lowered the settings and the game already ran well before lowering the settings, so I'm not sure why it keeps crashing my GPU. It's the only game that I have that does it and I don't know why. Is it just part of the jank of a game like that? (I have a AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB and the my in-game settings are at around 2GB requirement)

Have you done a DDU, and completely uninstalled / reinstalled the GPU drivers?

[Ardariel]

Thre was a thread not so long ago about this exact GPU, althogh issue was different, TW sadid to the guy to roll back drivers to almost year prior.

Drivers are the problem u gotta revert to older drivers than ur gonna be fine, this is the only game that has these issues i did it and no more driver timeouts i reverted to year old drivers

What the actual ♥♥♥♥, I'm not reverting back to drivers from years ago cause the devs are coding with their asses. damn

if drivers do timeout, its likely to be drivers issue, not game one. And lets face it, AMD is known for it.

Nevertheless, this is indeed frustrating and in no way should be your problem at this point. But you can rise some ♥♥♥♥ on TW and AMD forum, if you have free time to vent frustration and may be speed up things.

Half the time or more it isn't game devs who are coding wrong but the driver devs. AMD in 2022 released a bunch of drivers that broke most OpenGL games, AMD NVIDIA and Intel have all released broken drivers on multiple other occasions too.

Nvidia far from perfect, but I always ended up with driver issues with AMD GPU's over the years. I had games in the past run into issues after upgrade Nvidia drivers as well.

Kinda funny in a way. People want the devs to fix their game so they can work around issues with driver issues. Then when drivers get updated the devs need to "fix" their game again to work correctly with updated drivers... What does that sound like? Oh yeah... "TW broke mah mods" -)

yeah but I play a lot of games of many genre (rts, city builder, rpgs, action adventure, fps, tps, etc...) and Mount and blade bannerlord is one of the only games that has this constant and consistent amount of Sev1 issues. (sev1 as in severity 1, meaning a show stopper issue) so to some degree, it is an issue from this game, since it's not something that happens with other games.

if you have a lot of those you need to check your PC, m8. Or game installement.

Last "sev1", as you put it, issue i had with a gane was WAAAAAY back in 2020. And last crash in 2021. And if you check report dynamic on forums - it is pretty muc normal experience for majority, with people reporting about issues nowadays is typically those, who messed up on their part. With occasional spikes of actual issues or rare cases like yours. Cause lets face it, if ssue were devs having bad coding, it would be one in 10 GPU and not one of all. Cause it is literally, ony one of all models on a market.

Dude, I literally said that I'm only having issues like that with this game (and I used to have it with some blizzard game when using their launcher) but other than that, I'm having a good experience with other games, only this one that keeps crashing consistently so if the issue was my pc, I'd be having it across many games. And having worked as a FQA (fonctionality Quality assurance) on many games (I was on the pc team for MK11) I know that sometimes a game will have specific issues with specific rig because of the coding or something. Even if the pc's driver is all up to date. if the devs are saying that we should revert back to gpu drivers from a year ago, it means the issue is from how their game interacts with the new updates. THEY can fix it, they simply haven't, yet.

And there's a lot of posts online about how M&B Bannerlord causes driver timeout.

is it? I just googled "bannerlord driver timeout".

Already 8th entry was from 2021.

First 7 were abou 5600XT, including this very thread.

Even "a lot" would be questionable, since "a lot" does not mean "big enough proportion". 100 is a lot, but it would be absolutely nothing compared to whole playerbase. But this is not even "a lot", it is what classifies as "extremely rare issue".

Man i feel for you, i said it earlier, its not your job to deal with it, AMD and TW should have solved it, and you, as customer, have every right to complain and stomp your feet. But you go far to other side, starting to say unreasonable stuff or flat-out invent it. Thats no good.
Also "it works fine with other games" were my nomber one reasons to check PC with antivirus back when i were sysadm. Cause it is very, VERY childish and backwards logic. And it also always meant, that user thinks, that he knows what he do when he does not, since he have no reasoning skills. And it all means, that said PC is infeced/broken or else, and it is caused by user, not by "bad hardware".

My favorite example is allergies. You saying "it works fine with other games" is just like saying, that you dont have allergies, but orange was rotten. It does not work that way.

So i feel you, your case is best example of how user is not supposed to know what causes it and should not be expected to fix it himself. Just dont take it too far another way. Cause typically with same reasoning people with no real case behind start yelling and blaming others and then plling up cases like yours as example, plz dont give em ammunition, people already stupid enogh. Make em think.

I just want to state that the reason this issue annoys me so much is because of how much I like the game, I have over 150hrs in it and would probably have more if it wasn't from that issue. And I'm not saying that nothing about this issue could be caused by amd as well, I'm just saying both side could fix it and it's easier to raise awareness to the devs than to the amd team. Like, I know amd is far from perfect.

And I don't fully agree with your take on how my experience working in the video game industry as a tester doesn't help my perspective on where the issue might lie. Like sure if it almost only happens on amd drivers, there's a part of the blame to be put on amd, we're on the same wavelength here. But it's also the job of TW to optimise their game for multiple rig and if a rig that should run the game normally, ends up having multiple crashes, still 4 years after release (in EA) and the only "fix" is to revert to old driver version, then it does suck a bit on their part.

Like I had an issue with booting city skylines 1 and the forest because of Citrix, an app for remote desktop to work from home. Is the issue from citrix? yes, should the devs of these games fix it since it was a problem with the unity engine, but other unity games didn't have that issue, meant it was something these games did that wasn't compatible, yes too.

Sorry if it feels like a rant, it isn't haha, I'm just trying to be nuanced.
