DX11 Crashing?

[Yoruichi4478]

I tried running in full screen mode with directx 11 and it worked for several hours then it just failed and so did my browser.

i've just reinstalled the 2008 VC redists that were currently installed....also installed the 2010 VC redists...because, hell why not...will report back

haha, well...just logged into the game, stood in sea of cloud for around 30 seconds, thennnn bang...game locked up, then kicked me back to the desktop...no idea whats going on...whether its a driver problem, or its the game having problems, or what.

Just like to add also, when early access started i played literally every day without a single crash, with the exact same setup im using now, the crashing seemed to start after the first maintenance and seemed to get worse after the 2nd maintenance, i really think this problem is on SE's end and is nothing to do with our settings, hopefully SE have seen this thread and are looking intoo it

I've had to run in DirectX 9 since early access when I found 11 was why I was crashing every 5 seconds.

just had 2 crashes back to back in brayflox hard...nothing seems to be fixing this, no matter what changes in settings and other programs are made, SE please get on top of this

I've started getting crashing today. Had it happen earlier, then kept playing then it just happened again right now. So I try to log back in and before I can even load back into the game it crashes again. WTH SE!? It was working fine this whole time and now random crashing to desktop? >_<

There is a Geforce Hotfix driver, might want to test it out.

It's non WHQL release though.

That hotfix is 8 days old and has been announced previously and those of us suffering from this crashing issue are well aware of it. Those drivers didn't fix it at all and in some cases have made it even worse.

I'm not saying that the following is going to resolve the issue, but I feel it's worth mentioning.

Back when WoW launched DX11 support I was unable to play the game due to the very same driver related crashes some of you are talking about in this thread. I was positive that it had to be the DX11 client, as all other DX11 games were working without issue.

I tried different driver versions, nvidia control panel settings, game settings, etc. Nothing was working and I continued to wait for Blizzard to fix the client.

After reading the numerous threads on the topic, I started to notice a pattern: the issue was almost exclusively related to factory overclocked cards from EVGA and MSI. I was running a factory overclocked EVGA at the time, so I decided to change the clock speeds to match that of reference speeds for the board.

Crashes stopped entirely from that point on, all the way up until my next GPU upgrade. Sharing the information on the forums seemed to be fixing the issue for other players (though, not always).

To be clear, my GPU never experienced any issues related to the factory OC in any other games. Temps were well within normal ranges, no artifacting was ever present, and other games had never crashed before (specifically DX11 games).

Again, I'm not claiming that this is going to fix the issue, as we're talking about two completely different games. However, it seems to be so close to the issue I had with the DX11 client in WoW that I thought sharing my experience might help someone. It might be a long shot, but you never know.

I don't know if this will help anyone or not, but in the offchance that it might, I'd be happy .

I also own an EVGA GTX 970 SC card.

When I got this card, my game (DX11 client, did not try the DX9 client) would also crash. Sometimes the crash would just be where the screen would flash black and the driver would stop working for a few seconds and that I had to restart the game client only, and sometimes it was a BSOD.

However, frustrated with the BSOD's, I flashed my motherboard bios (Gigabyte Z87X-D3H) to the latest version and that seemed to stop the BSOD crashes. I still experienced the driver crash once or twice after that, so I did a completely clean install of the Nvidia hotfix driver (53.38) from the WHQL 53.30 and since then I have not had a single crash. Everything has been running perfectly smooth. In fact, lately, I've been running two DX11 clients at the same time for 8-10 hours a day and have suffered no issues *knocks on wood*

My specs are:

Windows 7 Pro (64 bit)
Intel i5 4670 @ stock (non K version).
16GB G-Skill DDR3 1866 mhz ram
EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0
Some shitty 700W Cooler Master PSU

Good luck!
