err12 graphics device crashed

[Toastie]

Hi,

I'm having issue with game randomly crashing while doing expeditions and running around the map. I'm getting err12 graphics device crashed error which is weird because this game doesn't even get close to using my graphic card. I have aa turned off because it made this game looks terrible and run in border-less window 4k.

I have RTX 4090 so again, gpu doesn't have issues with running this game,

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to enjoy this gem

i just recently updated my nvidia drivers, now the game is bugging out. I think the new nvidia drivers messed with dx12

It's possible, I had the update too. But I doubt it causing issues with dx12 other than in Monster Hunter World. I can see this issue and error shows from time to time and so far couldn't find any solution to this, I hope steam community will help but if not I'll give up.

Didn't have any issues with Elden Ring, Valorant or Cyberpunk, I played few indie games but they were short, but didn't trigger any issue with dx12 or anything graphic related. Those are only few games that I played for more than 2-3 hours in single session and didn't trigger anything so it's clearly specific to Monster Hunter

To all people having that issue. I possibly found the solution, reinstall your drivers, but instead of getting express instalation pick custom. So, even if your drivers are up to date, reinstall them, while doing so, choose custom instalation and tick "clean installation"

This will assure that old drivers residue that most likely caused this error in this one game (some people suggested changing gpu which was insane, and some did it which was even more crazy to me)

To those who stumbled on that old thread here on steam with weird people just know your gpu is not in any way defective if it's has issue in only one specific game and no issues outside that.

Hope this solves your problem as it most likely solved mine (I've played for 6-10 hrs yesterday and had 0 crashes and errors which is something but will test few more days to 100% confirm that)

My last reply just to officially confirm that this solves the issue, I had 0 crash in game after clean drivers re installation! Hope this thread helps people with this issue in future so they won't have to get through mountains of "change your GPU" and "play on DX11" bs. Fruitful Hunting!

you are a godsend my friend. A clean driver install is working for me too!
