Game crashes constantly w/o error message

[Lionheart]

So yeah this game keeps doing a CTD (usually ranging from 5 mins of playtime to a few hours) making it unplayable.

FYI this does not only happen in this game, it also happens to most other games I play such as Witcher 3, Overwatch, and (not even kidding) Roblox.

Here is the list of things I've done so far:

- Validated Steam Files

- Complete reset of PC

- Uninstalled Drivers

- Installed "stable" drivers (recommended by some guys on a forum regarding this)

- Arranged mod load order using LOOT

- Turned graphics presets to low

- Scanned PC for threats/repairs (the software said i've got no problems)

- Tried underclocking my graphics card

- Set power options to High Performance Mode (+ set PCI Express' Link Stage Power Management to off)

(I wont risk an uninstall since my slow net will take a full 25 hrs to install it full)

Here are my specs:

Processor: i5-7400
GPU: GTX 1050 ti
RAM: 8gb DDR4
Device Storage: 1 tb HDD
Monitor: 18.4" Monitor
PSU: 500W

I am looking forward for your suggestions about fixing this issue thank you.

see windows event viewer, why does a app crash, it might give a clue then just it crash there is a log in every windows system why program crash. windows user should learn this.

google how to use event viewer... see you tube video.

ps.
underclock no such thing, use standard settings only then things screw up. OC or UC can leed to same crash.

is mortheboard drivers + bios update , is that what you ment recommend by someone, grahic card driver use latest recommend.

windows 10 is all update, if previous OS use recommend and critical update.


use adwcleaner to remove addware and junk

use CCleaner clean junk and windows registration. 2 task with that app.

use iobits driver boost get newest thirdpart driver our product page dont care about.

use advance systemcare scan and fix all windows issue.

if this dont help you then you are in deep crap and need help from friend or remote access help because with no error report or anything then its impossible to sit from here and guess why it crash.

use Nvidia experience recommend setting, not kidding, it can both be a help to reset settings and get it to work. ( if previous setting is kept by game ) ( verify it is primary graphic card, and not set to cpu or intel onboard crap. )

and by the way forget mods first you need to get game working, so loot and all the other crap is after you get Original game up and running. rename game folder to .old same with user game data..

disable could sync. then reinstall game as Original, if you cant get that to work. no point in mod then it dont work.

suspect your hard drive is corrupted, do a checkdisk.

Validate your temps.
Check your voltages in the bios, maybe swap out your power supply.

Update

I viewed my Event Viewer and it showed this message per game crash:

"Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

You've already tried underclocking your GPU to no avail? What kind of PSU do you have? As this happens in different other games I suspect a voltage instability, not necessarily of just the GPU itself but the whole PC. What happens when you run a benchmark that taxes the CPU and memory only?

[Gunnycj]

iits an odd thing considering i have same issue. Never did this until the last patch

Contact nvidia support you have driver issue, require fresh install and remove previous driver throgh Nvidia thirdpart app ( see nvidia forum or read how to do that there. )

ps.
you can try a custom install make a clean then check box is there, but some actual had to do a clean uninstall anyway to get it to work.

dont forget use CCleaner after uninstall to get ride of old nvidia windows registration.
highly recommended so all previous Nvidia is removed from windows.

( to many games have issue with GTX1000+ next gen cards, if you notice other boards )
well on a global scale its actual few, but many have notice this.

Ok I tried giving solution for the nvlddkm issue I just had but after that, a new problem appeared which is now called nvlddkm event 13

still Nvidia driver issue, some games can go down to dx11/dx9 but call it a solutions i will not.
but you should contact Nvidia support. they want dxdiag and maybe MSinfo32 or other nvidia controll panel information. i dont think you have any other choise here. maybe they already work on it. and is fix in beta drivers or next release of drivers.

just be sure you do have update everything else on that pc. pretty stupid to get a reply from nvidia update your mortherboard drivers and bios. and do those apps that check pc so it rule out any system issue on that pc.

ps.
also drop a note at Behesda support, they are game support here.

Does the sound stutter before the crash? Are you using an HDMI cable for your monitor? I can't say for sure it's what's causing it, but what helped me was I went to NVIDIA Control Panel. Under Display -> Set up digital audio -> 1, set all dropdown menus to "Turn off audio".

My game was crashing a lot after I installed some texture optimizations and a mod called far (faraway area reform)... its really sad because the fps was amazing!

Now I am downloading the game again and thinking about risking installing just the optimized textures after backing up the textures folder...

86 GB... this is the biggest download ever!
