64 Bit crashing woes

Zed · Jan 6, 2016

I have trouble running the game for more than 20 mins due to black screen and driver hangs after some recent NVidia driver updates. Backed out to a driver from the end of November and it's stable again.
My GFX card is only a GTX750ti but it's the same driver for all the GTX cards.

If you are having any issue with the game, please create a ticket and provide your FULL system specification using the DxDiag tool.

You are much more likely to get a fix that way.

Wow, just wow....

Update...
Happy to report that tonights session worked fine, no crashes. Maybe the driver cleaner in post #75 did the trick? Plenty of action with smaller ships in the HREZ site, but didn't get fight any Conda's oddly enough, none around tonight.

I did also lock the Frame Rate Limit to 60hz in the graphics options, and of course the latest game update too.

Tried the Guru3D driver cleaner and reinstalled my gpu driver, I then turned on the Shader Cache manually for Elite: Dangerous (Recommended solution from a Mod), tried HRES farming again.
Unfortunately game still freezes after about an hour when I dog fighting an Ananconda.

But thanks for the driver cleaner it seems like a nice tool I will be using it from now on.

The scary bit is that it does it when I'm in the middle of heated battle in a HREZ. Luckily if Im quick enough to ctrl-alt-del and end the task and reload, I dont get penalized and can get back into the fight.

As I understand, you won't get penalized even if you go grab a cup of tea because the game already crashed and won't be able to penalize you in any way

I got a few crashes on 64 bit but nothing too scary. I am not fighting much though. Mostly exploring or trading.

I have been crashing in the 64bit version 2-3 times an hour after the 2.0.03 update. When it crashes it either crashes to the desktop with the bug report window popping up, screen goes black but you can still hear the audio (have to control+alt+delete to close), or the screen freezes and I have to force close it. I tried rolling back the Nvidia driver to 359.06 and returning my overclock config back to stock and It would still crash. I would play for several hours before the 2.0.03 update and had zero crashing. I decided to try the 32bit version and have been stable for the last 4 hours. I always played the 64bit version and maybe had 2 or 3 crashes over the 200+ hours on the game and now I have crashed over 20 times in the last 48 hours.

I have been getting regular crashes as well - the build is highly unstable on my machine.
