DirectX crashing

[Rhiannah]

I've downloaded the latest drivers and everything seems up to date but everytime I play, I eventually get this error and the game crashes.



Anything that can be done to fix this?

It might be your graphics card is overheating (the time delay being that it starts out at a decent temperature and gets hotter over time to the point it crashes), probably as simple as dust build up over time.

It's worth checking the GPU temperatures and also you could just try popping the side off the computer and running it open (as it'll be cooler) and see if it takes longer to crash (or not at all?).

Go to your desktop, right click and select NVIDIA control panel.
Select "Manage 3D settings".
Under Global Settings, go to Vertical Sync and switch it off.

That should solve it, if you are still experiencing this issue.

If it still doesn't work, go to Power management mode (under the same settings) and change it to prefer maximum performance.

I can not thank you enough, I changed Power management to prefer maximum performance and I changed Vertical Sync to adaptive and so far no more crashes and its been 2 days running DX 11.

Sorry, I had taken a break from the game and came back to see it was still happening.

Also, I have an AMD graphic card instead of NVidia.
