GTA V suddenly crashing FIXED

[Berny]

As you all may have experienced, since the rockstar launcher started working some of us have been crashing in GTA V every 15-20min. I wrote a ticket to them and this is what they told me:

We're sorry you're experiencing problems with unexpected closings.
There are reports of such bugs with the latest NVIDIA driver update. Please go to the NVIDIA website (https://www.geforce.com/drivers) to download the previous driver. We recommend you download the July 23rd driver.

So, I tried backrolling the drivers and the problems dissapeared. Let me note that after searching in the logs, I found the crash id was 0xc0000005. So you might want to check it as well before attempting anything!
In order to make the rollback, this is what I personally did:

1. Go to Nvidia page metioned before, select your gpu (graphics card), and the language of your system, then select the drivers from the 23rd of july and download.

2. Uninstall Nvidia geforce experience and all instances of the programm in control panel, including the drivers.

3. Start Windows on Safe Mode. This is done by holding Shift key and clicking restart from windows home menu simoultaneously (it is easy to find).

4. Go to the driver's exe you just downloaded and install them.

5. Re-install Geforce Experience.


As I mentioned, this seems to be working for me, but I can't say wether this only works for 0xc0000005 error or it can solve any other issues.
Good luck trying!

see you back here when it crashes again as it will.

LOL yeh, mine crashes usually around 40-60 minutes.

Well, I haven’t had any more issues after downgrading the drivers, the game even performs better. But as I said, this is my case, it may or may not work for you guys.
Check what error code are you getting and try if it’s the same I got!

just posted on another thread on a fix that worked for me. All i did was change the direct x version from 11 to 10.1 in game, restarted gta as it asked me to and no more crashes. My dispay res is set to 1920 x 1080 but i don't think that was a factor.

Yes, reverting back to the 23 july driver solved it from me to, thanks for that :-)

UPDATE: You still return to the desktop with the 23 july driver, but game doesn't crash, so you can just click on the minimiized GTA V window to continue, but it's still quite annoying. With the newer driver, the game ALSO crashed.

they are making it crash on purpose so you don't want to play it anymore and buy red dead 2 when it comes out in november. they are killing gta v. kinda like how microsoft did with XP

Similar solution here thanks for posting!

Ryzen 2700x and GTX 1080ti user here - I was crashing in every GTA ONLINE session after random times ranging from 20 mins to 2 hours on the NEWEST Nvidia Display drivers. I'm also up to date with all of the latest updates on Windows 10.

I removed all instances of Nvidia from Add and Remove Programs and reverted to Nvidia Driver 436.15 using a CLEAN INSTALLATION (this is an option you must select when installing the drivers) and have not had a single crash since. My crash issue was the game closing out suddenly to a Rockstar Error Prompt.

I also removed the Rockstar Launcher from my computer and downloaded it fresh and reinstalled directly from the Rockstar website.

In Event Viewer within Windows my crash was related to the GTA.exe Exception code: 0xc0000005

I believe the issue some people are having is with Nvidia's latest drivers. These changes seemed to help in my case. I hope it helps someone else.
