MHW frequently freezes after 20 minutes or so

[felixkoch2002]

No idea why but since yesterday the game freezes after ~20 minutes. Sometimes my PC crashes and I get a bluescreen (not the BSOD but a bluescreen where it tries to save physical data on a disk)

Can anyone help me? I've been looking everywhere for a solution and can't seem to find anything. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my graphics driver; playing with minimum graphic settings nothing works. Oh, and after reinstalling my graphics driver I get the shadowplaysystemstart error messages related to nvspcap64.dll (which is related to Geforce Experience; tired uninstalling and reinstalling but I still get the same error message after rebooting my computer).

The freezes and crashes only happen when I play MHW. The temperatures of my GPU and processor are also ok. I have absolutely no idea.

GeForce GTX 1060
Windows 7 64bit
16gb memory
Processor intel i7 4770k 3.50 GHz

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT - Solution

(keep in mind that what worked for me may not work for you but you can still try these things out)

1. Download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and get rid of your GPU drivers and GeForce Experience. I can't stress this enough, do not uninstall it manually. Use DDU.
2. Install latest GeForce experience and have it download and install your latest GPU driver
3. Flash your BIOS to the latest version
4. Download CCleaner and scan for registry issues, then fix them

if the game still freezes do the following

5. Download MSI Afterburner, increase your power limit by 10%, reduce clock by -25mhz

Don't install geforce experience as its bloatware and It's probably the game not hardware causing your crashing issues if its only MHW giving you ♥♥♥♥.Too many ppl having similar crashes to yours.Mostly likely an update caused it.

You have to wait it out till they get a fix out.

how can MHW update fix this error?

"shadowplaysystemstart error"

im rly curious about it.. my job is software analyst.. and your post sounds rly funny to me.. but if u can prove your statement.. then show it

edit: if u cant, then at least show me how is this MHW error, when its not :-D

OP, you need to use Display Driver Uninstaller to remove the drivers and do a fresh install. That should fix the shadowplay error.

As for MHW, perhaps a newer driver version can fix the issue.

Did you update your drivers through GeForce Experience recently?

Before you do anything else though I'd highly recommend using DDU to uninstall your drivers and then do a fully fresh install of the latest ones available.

shadowplaysystemstart error is not a MHW issue and I don't know how to fix it.Google it perhaps?

The crashes are a MHW issue though.The fact that multiple ppl are experiencing the same crashes/freezes and its only MHW causing problems is proof enough for me.

My drivers are all up to date. I'll try DDU and see if that helps with the dll error

I'll probably have to wait it out. When I got the game a month or so ago there were no issues.

A friend of mine suggested to check my memory cards for faults.

This is so frustrating...

If it's only happening with MHW then it's probably not a memory issue. You'd be experiencing the same problem across any game in that case.

Best bet for now is to just do a full clean install and see how it goes. If it doesn't fix it, perhaps roll back to an older driver to see if it changes anything.

ok, if crashes are MHW issue, then u can show that error what cause that crash?
OR u can read what OP say about BSOD

im sure ur expert and u see his windows event viewer and can tell us what happens exactly :)
will be better when he first fix error what crash that ..and then try it again.. no?

edit: what about analyze that issue first?
like when your car not go..
there can be lot of issues.. no fuel, tire defect, car can be in middle of river..

but u just say"CaR iS BrOkEn" aka "MHW is broken"
but.. for fix that u need investigate WHAT happens.. like with car..

that happens..everytime when PC have some issues, they wasnt there before ;-)

first u need fix your last error..
google name of that error and then fix it by instructions..

AFTER that.. try MHW.. when u have another issues, then look in Windows Event Viewer and find there what crash..

but first things first.. fix that shadowplaysystemstart error

i have 2 pc and i got the same issue, capcom pls fix.

[felixkoch2002]

I googled the shadowsystemstart error and all I got was "reinstall your graphics" I did that 3 times already and zilch, zero, niente, nothing, nichts, nada :(

I'll try it again using DDU, or leaving out Geforce Experience altogether as it's not neccessary.

Nuking all Nvidia drivers and software, then reinstalling, worked for me.

Here are the steps I took, similar to those mentioned above. And yes, I have tried this and verified it worked (for me, at least)

Download Nvidia GeForce Experience

Download DDU

Uninstall Nvidia GeForce Experience (if installed)

Reboot to Safe Mode

Run DDU and have it clean all Nvidia drivers

Reboot to Normal mode

Install Nvidia GeForce Experience

Open GeForce Experience and have it install the latest driver

//

+ if u just uninstall GeForce, then u can still have this issue and u need edit registry for fix that..

but.. after u solve this, try MHW again, when something crash, then look in windows event viewer..
and ofc, check temperature, etc..
(and ofc.. run it without mods..)

i feel like there was a king of the hill episode about this...

oh yeah they went to mexico to buy beer because it wasnt available in the US, they ate bananas and got sick and blamed the bananas, when in reality the beer was bad but they didnt want to admit it.

so yeah MHW isnt the PROBLEM, its simply triggering the issue thats already existant, something any game could do if it had similar code libraries it uses or hardware features it tries to use.
----
anyway, i havnt had issues with GeForce, shadowplay or otherwise, but it sounds like it is the issue so my suggestions turn off all share features and try playing, this should stop GeForce from activating that software and see if the issue arises

if it didnt, then reinstalling Geforce might fix the issue
if it still does, uninstall Geforce completely and try again

if it didnt error, try reinstalling Geforce and try again
if it still errors out here, the driver may be at fault or other important file to which i reccomend the following:

run CMD.exe as admin, type: sfc scannow
this runs windows system file checker and verifies if any files are corrupt and replaces them.
and reinstall GPU driver, i recommend the latest but if the problem still happens the this is the final solution i can come up with for you.

find a decent HDD health check software, and see if your storage medium is not working properly or has bad sectors, you mention something about the screen writing to storage so this is literally a case of throwing noodles at a wall and see what sticks.

Thanks man! Will try it out asap and let you know. If this works I'll buy you a beer someday :D
