Game crashes my computer.

[jown7676]

After the patch I have found that EGS seems to have a problem with D3D and will crash my computer forcing a restart. This is the crash report.

Single player, no server, no changes to game files. Happens when I attempt to load an area with something else in it. I can provide more if needed.

update / reinstall GPU driver

[jown7676]

Updated GPU driver with latest version. Checked and verified game files several times (once crashed my system), checked and verified D3D files. Rebooted several times.

I ran through several diags and this is the only result.

[piddlefoot]

Ok what are the specific specs of just your video card, its showing 3GB of V-RAM on log, is your card a dual GPU card is where Im going ?

The error is showing a failure to write to the video card V-RAM, most of the time that issue is from not having enough memory, 3GB should be enough for medium resolution, but Im not sure if at full resolution it would be enough on a heavy render, like near a forest.

Try dropping the res just for a test and see if thats the issue.

Is your video card a single GPU with 3GB of V-Ram or is it a dual GPU with 1.5 GB of V-RAM per GPU ?

If its a dual GPU, you have even more problems.
That means you really only have 1.5GB of V-RAM and thats definately not enough for full resolution and no bugs or errors.

This game, like most games in history, isnt coded for dual GPU cards, heck most games still dont even bother to code for crossfire or SLI so theres that issue compounding it all as well.

Anyway have a fiddle around and see if you can get it working.

[jown7676]

It's a GeForce GTX 1060 with 3 GB. As far as I can tell it's a single core GPU. Here are the specs.

[jown7676]

So I dropped all my settings to nill and I even cleared out the cache folder as referenced in another post. Still getting the crashing with Failed to create buffer errors. I made sure that DX is up to date, installed all updates, and even reinstalled the game. Same problems.

[piddlefoot]

Ok its beyond me so I have linked the devs to this thread so they can take a look at your logs, they may not reply, but the fix usually comes in next update for serious bugs.

[piddlefoot]

Ok devs asked me to ask you to try the experimental version where theres a fix for a bug that sounds very similar to the one you have.

So in steam menu right click on game and find the tab for experimental version, click on that, let it update and then see if the game runs.

[jown7676]

Welp, it didn't crash because of the DX11 problem. It just completely rebooted my system. Not sure why. Gonna look at logs and see what I can figure out.

Thoughts?

[piddlefoot]

Yea mybad actually I gave you the wrong version to try, I got a message from devs.

The exp version is the same as public @piddlefoot they need to try opting in Alpha 7 from the betas tab in properties>betas

So give the Alpha 7 a try instead and with luck that should get you at least playing until they find a fix for the current version, they have a ticket started for it so it is being looked at.
