Frequent nvwgf2umx error/ DX11 client crashes

[Urceo]

EDIT: ***FIXED*** I will edit if I get a crash again but I have been playing all day no crash. Prior to this I couldn't make it an hour without a crash.

This may only be a fix for Ryzen. I enabled PBO in BIOS , selected the Positive curve option under curve optimizer, and set the magnitude setting to 5. I left the clock setting at +0. I have not had any issues in other games so I am not sure if my CPU just has a bad core or what. Do this at your own risk. I would not increase the voltage much on your CPU. I believe that increasing it to 5 on my bios increased the max mv by .025.



Hi,

I just started playing this game. I really love it, but I have been getting frequent client crashes and nvwgf2umx errors while playing. I have tried just about everything I have read with no success. I am not sure if it just is some sort of compatibility issue with my set up and the game.

SPECS
RTX 3090 ASUS TUF OC
RYZEN 5800X
32GB 3600MHZ
x570 auros elite
4k 144hz monitor


steps I havetaken

• I do not have anything OCD but I loaded optimized bios defaults to be safe
• Ran game -300mhz core clock with Mai afterburner
• Tried debug mode in Nvidia cp
• multiple reinstalls of game with virus protection turned off
• Tried Fullscreen and borderless
• Gamemode disabled in windows and various background apps disabled
• Clean windows install with zero 3rd party programs running/installed
• multiple clean driver installs using DDU and Nvidia clean install
• tried older drivers and newest
• tried my wife's GPU in my system (still crashed)
• Tried her ram in my system (still crashed)

In game settings

• Maximum defaults
• Fps limits removed
• Borderless windowed

Stress testing on system (no issues)

Ran furmark and realbench for a couple hours no issues
ran p95 and other CPU tests and stable
No crashes in other titles with hundreds of hours of gameplay (Witcher 3 , Cyberpunk 2077, hunt showdown, league, valorant, cod mw and many more)

I am really just hoping to see if someone who is also playing at 4k 144hz with new hardware is having the same issues as me. I have friends with similar hardware but they are not maxing out their gpu as they are playing at 1080p. I feel like this is some sort of compatibly issue and I will have to hope for a patch as my setup is fairly uncommon. Any insight and suggestions that I have not tried will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

EDIT: resolved issue

There is a tech support forums where they do very actively monitor them. Not sure if this thread will be moved there but you might want to copy and paste this over there.

DX11 error threads go in the tech support subforum where they can be properly ignored.

Techsupport ignores and throws these to general discussion anyway. OP just skipped that part.

@OP

Try under volting your GPU. That solution worked for some with 3000 gen cards.
This game really hates any kinds of OC or stronger GPUs.

Also try disabling full screen optimisation

No it doesn't. I've got a 3080 and don't get crashes like this.

My system is basically identical to the OP, except that.

And they only throw threads that don't belong in tech support to general discussion.


@op, what power supply do you have?

whats your screen resolution at?

750 watt super flower leadexIII gold. I was worried about it not being enough when I first built the PC because I ended up with a 3090 without originally planning on getting that card. But after running p95/realbench with furnark at the simultaneously for several hours without issues I stopped worrying.

Sorry everyone for posting in the wrong section. I posted this late last night.

There have been a lot of reports lately from all platforms about dx11 crashes since the 5.55 patch. So far, it's been the standard "did you turn it off and back on again?" answers. Only thing we can do at this point is pray that it'll be fixed next patch.
