Can't go fullscreen - Always crash

[Mav]

I always crash when I try to set my game to fullscreen. I either have to go with Windowed or Borderless. Anyone know why?

GTX 970
i7 4770
16GB RAM

And my FPS is fine as well. Always over 60.

My friend and I both have this problem too.We have a very similar setup: GTX980, 32GB RAM and i7 5820K (it's irrevelant because this happens to AMD users too).

I have around 65 hours in multiplayer and never had a SINGLE crash until today. And now it happens all the time the game won't launch in full screen it either says "game stopped responding" or "ERR_GFX_D3D_INIT" with something unimportant written below along the lines of "wait until the program respond or try restarting it".

Many users seems to have this problem and no real solutions has been found. No matter what you do this will come back sooner or later since all fixes we've tried seems to "delay" the problem and not fix it. Seems like the game is twitchy about factory overclocked GPU or something along thoses lines.

Rockstar will most likely patch this issue sooner or later.

PS: My friend got the issue to happen on day one and has been having it since and I only got it today 65 hours online later. That's pretty odd if you ask me!

You only need fullscreen if you use Nvidia DSR or borderless gives you stuttering. If neither of those apply, borderless is better so you dont get screen tearing and dont need vsync.

Uh...I use fullscreen with all my games...always have. What does Nvidia DSR have to do with this?

That's odd :/

I used to play this game at fullscreen without issues in the very first hours but not anymore.

I got this too. Only solution is to reinstall your graphics card driver. I am using GTX 970 so i dont know if this also works for AMD cards.

[Mav]

Well I got fullscreen to work...sort of. Just press alt+enter

You buy the game and let it update.

D3D errors are related to direct 3D, part of directx
try install the packages as admin, all of them.

first you try the most obvious , missing third party
visuals 2005 sp1 x86
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5638
visuals 2005 sp1 x64
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18471
redist directx webinstaller (updates 9, 10 , 11)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=35

use maybe launch option command
-dx9
or -dx9_3
-nomemrestrict -norestrictions -availablevidmem 100

also microsoft is aware of a D3D errors in Anniversary, KB3176938 was supose to fix that.
the first KB3176938 was terrible and people had issues.
then they released a second one.
and that second one is installed on my PC, also terrible i think.
i got more problems now with it.

and more problems with nvidia latest WDDM 2.1 drivers now.
the 373.06 makes my screen go on/off few times a day.
the latest 375.63 too

but WDDM driver 2.0 (368,81)

i am going to uninstall that crap KB3176938 again, a fresh installation does not even install the KB
in order to install the windows updates KB files manually i needed to uninstall in right order.
and reinstall via windows updates.

so to uninstall KB3176938 again is my idea , first need to uninstall the latest ones one by one .(except KB 3199209 can stay installed)

Then you are in the wrong Forum.
This is GTA V. It is currently version 1.36

Me too
AMD FX-9590
R9 390 8GB
16 GB RAM

[Nope]

when i push alt+enter it makes the game crash

[Engineer Flaming]

this error happens when going into safe mode and then trying to go fullscreen, the reason it crashes is because in safe mode you are sopposed to have lowered quality of the game but adding fullscreen will just crash the game basically
