D4 still crashes every hour!

I mean it’s kind of straightforward elimination to me but I don’t know enough to push it further.
I honestly don’t know what to say. It worked for me.

I just share my observations and if benefits someone then awesome.

But it’s all good, I’m not a computer expert by any stretch.

In the end, I am just happy I’m not dealing with crashes as those suck the fun out of the game.

FWIW - this worked for me today on this issue. Thanks for reposting it!

If that’s true why is it only Nvidia Card Machines having issues Hmm? :unamused:

It is not, look in the other threads people with Radeon cards are also crashing.

It’s definitely not.

I DID. Nvidias all that came up, I told all of you that and you ignored it!

Its christmas soon. You may put a X-boggs Serious X or other professional dedicated gaming system onto your wishlist. No crashes on consoles. Just slo-mo-feature while fighting worldbosses.

Merry Christmas
Console Gamers - The better people

Clearly not hard enough. That is one of the more recent ones. But there have been many others in the threads that started with this season. I was crashing all of week one so I saw those threads pretty closely.

I am a dev, so yeah I was looking at what was similar to all the people crashing that were posting their specs from back then. I have also managed to tweak things on my machine to stabalize, most of the things tweaked are game settings, and pagefile, and shader cahce. My game became stable. Then with successive Blizzard patches it randomly started again. I have been on the latest nVidia driver with every release. We are back to no crashes…but it is definitely the game as the nVidia drivers don’t have any issue with anything else other than this and Madden 24…but that always had crash issues also, but not as frequent.

I play FFXVI, Uncharted, Domekeeper, Rogue Trader, Jusant and Inquisitor Martyr somewhat regularly for now, and none of those have crashed once. Just this and Madden. If you look on the nVidia site both are mentioned in the previous patch release by others as crash offenders.

I am on a 3090ti and 32GB of ram.,

Oh well if Your THAT Experienced then you must seen and or heard of Buzzard or other companies giving/presenting issues to just piece of hardware and other and piece of ware having no issues with any other company? I know I have and I’m just an old gaming geek, Surprisingly D3’s even worse on this issue than D4, OTH D2R Seems unaffected soooo,{one of the reasons I suggested sabotage} And here’s just one of the examples of Buzzards being the only one to have these issues ATM “Howdy,
Put in a ticket and support told me just to come post here. Long story short, WoW and Diablo 4 constantly cause my computer to crash. They are the only games that do this. I can play much more demanding games without issue indefinitely. I changed my RAM and my SSD both. Redownloaded Battle.net and the applications, nothing changed. Someone please help.”

OW2 has also started throwing this error as of this year, I have played that since its launch and this was the first time seeing it, they don’t call it Fenris as that is what this game calls it, but it is the same generic catch all exceptions. I do play this a lot less frequently nowadays but the last time I played I noticed it.

Blizzard has conceded there is an issue, based on they are constantly patching trying to improve stability. And to their credit it does get better at times, but then a random patch comes out and it is back.
One of their big problems is sometimes their patches reset the user’s graphical settings to something they did not have, so you need to always check.

From the outside it is not easy to pinpoint what the issue is, but it is easy to rule out what it is not. If it were nVidia all of these other games would be also crashing randomly also, and the people on AMD video cards would not be impacted at all.

If you need help, the goal should be to lower the the games memory footprint.
Turn these off if not off already:
Ray Tracing, Resolution Scaling (unless you absolutely need it for frames),

Turn these down by a notch:
Shadows Quality
Contact Shadows Quality
Ambient Occlusion
Particle Quality
Clutter

Uncheck:
Distortion
Chromatic Aberration

Cap your framerates to 90 or lower (you can turn it back up later, that goes for all of these)
Set you bg FPS to 8.
I don’t use the game’s VSync, this is up to you, I use the FastSync from the nVidia Control Panel.

In the nVidia control panel:

set your power to max performance (you can do this just for diablo on the 2nd tab in case you want to keep a global setting and a program specific one.)

And just change the shader cache size to something else, hit apply and then set it back to 4GB or above, I use 10GB but that setting for me is set for Star Citizen. Just making the change though should refresh the folder.

Optional you can use the fastsync setting here under vsync, or you can use the one in game and set that to application controlled.

The last thing you need to look at is your page file in the system environment variable.
Some poeople will tell you where to put the page file, I am going to tell you it doesn’t matter if you have all ssd’s, just put it on the fastest non-partitioned drive.
You can set this to 1.5x-2.x (for min max values) of your physical ram.
If you would rather Windows managed it, I would say that is fine just make sure there is a min value of 1.5X. (you will need a reboot after making this change)

And lastly close your browser while playing, until it stabalizes some more.

All these things should help to prolong how long you can play till you see the problem, but again the problem is in the game code, so they do need to address it at some point.

If any of that needs futher input just add me on battlenet and I will help where I can on chat.

I am not sure what this sentence is saying. Link me to what Blizzard said if possible.
