Frequent nvwgf2umx error/ DX11 client crashes

[Urceo]

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

Thank you undervolting is good advice. I set up a curve using msi afterburner to limit the card to reference clock speeds at a voltage which I confirmed stable in 3D mark. Unfortunately I still crashed. I also have tried the full screen optimizations, but no luck.

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

No need to apologize. The tech guys stick to their little corner so no chance they would see an issue that obviously falls under them and there is a chance they could help lol

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?

Hence I said for some. Not everyone has issues. Some people said they got crashes in FFXIV only and solved them with a slight undervolt. Just giving options since it does not hurt anything to try

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.

I have big doubt that it's the patch itself, and more the fact that people have been driven back en masse to Bozja, Delubrum and Zadnor. There was a spike in dx11 crash reports back in 5.35 when Bozja launched, and again in 5.45 when Delubrum was launched.

Personally I exhausted all options, I can play the game at maximum quality for hours, but the moment I so much as set a foot in any of these maps, I have a guaranteed crash in the next 30 minutes to 1 hour whether I stay in the zone or immediately leave.

I will have to find teh article again, but I think it has to do with teh screen resolution and the 144 when you start up. let me do some digging to see if I can dredge that up

Pretty sure that was a long time ago.

Unless this is different from the limiter issue a while back.

144hz is an odd one to me. I think multiples of 60 makes more sense. 60, 120, 180, 240, etc.

Mines 120 3440x1440, and I don't have an game issues.

Trying a new PSU (850 watt gold) I will report back if this fixes it.

Edit: still crashes with new psu

This leaves only the nvme drive or Mobo, but would that really cause crashes and issues in only 1 game ??

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

This one speaks the truth.

And I still get Directx11 crashes.

Ok I just bought a new SSD to test that and it crashed with the nvwf2umx errors. Ran it with underclock no overlays. So far I have tried different gpu, different PSU, diffent memory, different storage device all isolated and on different clean installs. My CPU is p95/realbench stable and I experience zero errors or crashes in other titles. Event viewer is clear of errors/warnings. Really at a loss here. Maybe faulty pcie slot? But why would I only experience issues in this game ?

Have you tried setting a fps limit in the nvidia control panel?
