Keep Getting Err12 Graphics driver crashed

[Mxthmvn]

i just updated my graphics driver to the newest nvidia driver have tried to play with settings and scoutflies glow also takes up like half my screen but my pc build is

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5700x
GPU: NVIDIA GeForx RTX 3080
32 Gigs Ram
Mobo: MSI Tomahawk II

Err12 will always be here, that's just what happens with this game now. If you never want to see it again play Rise or wait for Wilds. It's unfortunate but it is what it is.

That being said how often are you getting it? I still get it when I play too and I have a 5950X + 3080 + 32GB RAM, so very similar to your PC. I got it when I played it on my 5700XT + 4770K PC and I get it now.

so i have played world on didfferent saves and hate the beginning all of the time but this is my first steam save and keep crashing every time i do the kestodn kerfuffle in to the great jagras fight sometimes it will happen when the great jagras appears sometimes in the middle of the fight and sometimes in the cut scene after you kill it i have done the quest over 10 times changing multiple settings that every tech/support page through steam or over on other websites say so im getting extremely frustrated considering how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ an experience the beginning part of this game is

[Capybarasan]

Man I'm sorry I have no idea. As I said I literally have a whole new PC and I still get it, not as often as before though. As you're getting it constantly during certain times/areas that's at least a more specific problem which can be more easily solved. I would suggest going to Google, typing in your issue then type "Reddit" after it and you'll find a ton of posts for this on Reddit. Perhaps one of those has an answer for you.

I do hope you get it solved, my dude.

like i dont matter the error is random i noticed but when i also find out its also in rise i had this today and yesterday i did every step and i sorta realised its not very consistent sometimes it takes 10 mins for crash other times it happends after several hours

dont use high texture pack and lower to 720p reso and dx 11 and turn settings down can reduce the crashes but it will crash nothing will change that

Do you guys undervolt your GPUs ? i've been investigating because I was getting this problem on my 4070Ti (and still getting it)

What I can say is that DX11 helps a lot reducing the occurence. It somehow happens less often If i don't use my 2nd monitor. Afterburner graph are completely stable until crash happens where usage obviously goes down.

My GPU is know to get quite hot without undervolting (hotspot maxed a 95°c, 80°c for core, I don't like it and prefer getting 975mV at 2805MHz if someone is interested somehow with this underwatting info).
I'm telling you guys this because some people said to stop undervolting MHW back in 2020, but well, I've never had a crash for month until playing MHW so you can trust me when I say that my GPU is solid stable with these settings.

like i found fix it was high res pack seems something messed it up for no temps was high when i got error

[Haryûu]

Well it MIGHT be because you changed to high res, but realistically high res should not be problematic with modern GPUs given we have muuuch more VRAM than we did in 2020.

In my case 12 gigs are more than enough to handle the 7.19 asked on QHD. I've given temps just for people who might wonder specifics.

My temps are quite high because I'm using a 240Hz monitor so yeah, PC gets pretty hot given i'm not limiting framerate (I guess it would be very chill at 60fps lmao).

My message was not to point out in anyway you might be wrong. Just a shame to have to nerf graphics with modern rigs. I'd rather deal with the occasionnal crashes.

Sadly i got a low end rtx 3060ti 8gb didnt change it to high res it just started with it on and now with full no crashes stable 120fps

I can tell what the problem is... did you undervolt your GPU? Perhaps its not stable. This also happens somtimes if you use Mods and DX12 ingame.

[MelvinSmiley]

My err12 crashes went away when I deactivated my undervolting profile, so undervolting could be one of the reasons for crashing.

Indeed undervolting seems to be a possible cause as I said above, EVEN IF your system is perfectly stable on every other games. AMD users reported that sometimes the game increase GPU usage while reducing voltage, no matter what they did. Maybe undervolting makes this issue more and more frequent.

On the other hand MHW is quite demanding on GPU if you plan on uncapping FPS. Playing at 60 is a piece of cake with 60°c maybe, but if you uncap fps, oven time. One should monitor his temps and be sure the GPU is fine temp wise. Thermal throttle could lower clocks and thus create instability.

On my side, disabling HDR (that honestly looks bad on MHW) helped reducing this occurence. Played 1h at noon, didn't crash on DX12. I also ticked run as admin just to try an other option.

Maybe this tinkering might help if other people can tell what did work and didn't.

EDIT : got one crash on alt-tab. Given the PSU infos I gave above, I'll try "prefer maximum performance" in power management of nvidia panel as well as force constant tension on afterburner, will update if anything goes wrong (or as expected !)

[Edeus]

These crashes comes from 2 things: one is undervolting/Overclock is not stable enough or you use MHW in Fullscreen mode. Sometimes this gives these errors. Also any mod can do crashes.

Man I'm going back to mhw with my new rig 7600x, rtx 4070, win 11, mhw keeps crashing to desktop randomly and also err 12. I have change the nvidia profile to maximum performance, no gpu undervolt, use dx11 and borderless windowed, cap fps to 60 Hz, use upscaled fidelity fx, no high res textures, still crashes. This is so sad.
