Constantly crashes to desktop every several minutes - Page 2

Disabling DX11 seems to work. I just finished about 2-hours without a crash, though gameplay is chopping a bit without DX11. I read in another thread that DXHR uses only one core, which likely doesn't help.

Add me to the list. Another disgruntled nVidia owner.

I was playing the game yesterday, completed Detroit missions and no problem. Today I get on here, get into China and it's crashing often.

The part with the garden pods, it crashes. Dreaded stop error.

Something in the last patch might be to blame, but can't be certain.

Tried two different driver sets (275.33 and 280.26).

Made me question the stability of my PC which has been flawless for the past six months.

DX9 stutters like mad.

Can you guys do me a favour and go post on the Eidos forum? Or more specifically here.... http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=120291

What drivers you using? Are you SLI? Running Steam on a drive different to C:?

this is happening to me too, and like others have said turning off dx11 stops the crashing but it becomes annoyingly choppy. The game runs perfect for me with dx11 on so this is really obnoxious.

A friend of mine using a GTX 560 is having a similar problem, though it seems to only occur at one of the first cutscenes. Will see if getting him to disable DX11 will help him there, since it has helped some others it seems.

Is the game still ok for you? Not changed since the patch?

I can confirm that turning DX11 off fixed it for now.

I've been playing constantly since my last post without any crashed, but I have noticed the stutter for sure. There seems to be a lot of it, especially in China.

What's your system?

Running off an SSD? Is Steam on drive C:? SLI? Even, what anti virus?

Elenoe · 08-26-2011, 12:26 PM

disabling DX11 and no CTD since then here. Now it is playable.

GTX570, Win7-64, latest drivers (not-related), SSD, steam on X: (dont know how that could be related

) but DXHR on C: (SSD), no SLI, no antivirus or any such program. Pretty pure win + steam

Think the entire 5xx series of nVidia cards are utter driver fail.

VinnyBob · 08-26-2011, 12:51 PM

Same problem in china with gtx580. It crashed every 30 mins or so since the last update. I did not try it in detroit.

08-26-2011, 12:57 PM

560Ti here. Max settings with dx11 runs perfect except all the CTD every 30mins or so.

Have stopped playing until this is fixed.

I5 2500k OC to 4.5ghz
GTX 580
8gb RAM
Avast! AV
No SLI, single GPU
Running Win7 Ultimate
Steam and DXHR running from SSD C:\

As soon as I turned DX11 off, no more crashes. After about 30 mins of further gameplay, I've stopped noticing the stutter lol

Nothing wrong with the cards perse. Though the latest release of the 280's are complete crap, both beta and whql. Serious TDR problems with them. And the 280's like to stick around in parts unless you use something like drivesweeper to remove all traces, then reinstall an earlier whql like 275.33, or 270.61

Game crashes on me fairly often on a gtx 570 in dx11, under dx9 it doesnt crash but it stutters fairly often.

VinnyBob · 08-26-2011, 03:44 PM

Thanks to the shorter loading times, i can live with the problem by saving often. But i hope it will be fixed before i complete the game.

Disabling DX11 dosent work for me, I get the freeze crash as the first poster at the same spots.. and havent been able to get passed it yet *frustration*
