Diablo 4 launch unfortunately forced most of us to update our graphics cards. Unbeknownst to us, the newest GPU driver updates wiped out our NVIDIA control panel settings which is not typical behavior for a standard GPU driver update. For many of us, this includes our Power management mode settings to “prefer maximum performance”. Your video card became starved for power. Change this setting back.
You’re welcome Blizzard. Did your work for you.
see ya back here soon
Nope. All fixed. No crashing.
mine are on high performance. very studdery
Nope. Doesn’t fix the problem.
I canceled DSSL in the options and went with AMD FSR 1.0. It may be different for your PC. Now mine is running and looking good. Keeping my fingers crossed.
is that the in game options, or NVidia control panel?
In the game options. Though it did shutdown again. So I lowered it. I think this is a blizzard problem. Didn’t have any problems before the expansion.
I’m not sure what graphics drivers you installed (I installed 565.90) , but all my NVIDIA control panel settings are the same pre-update. I think yours just got corrupted or you did a custom clean install.
That is the one I have. I’ll check the control panel. The game is still going have to be fixed for the drivers. Or who knows.
did not do a clean install. it’s known issue in the nvidia forums.
Do you mean the one setting, Digital Vibrance, that gets reset every restart?
I wasn’t sure what was causing it. I rolled back the Nvidia driver to version 561.09 Now to see if that does it. The spiritborn is a very fast character.
Not anymore. They just announced they’re nerfing it.
No this is certainly not the solution. This setting only allows the GPU to clock down when it has less load.
This setting is always reset when you go to reinstall when updating the driver, and is always retained when you go to express installation, which only updates the driver.
Its still really good. If it stops the issues then its fine.
Yeah this is definitely not the fix. If anything I started crashing even faster after making this change.
I made this change and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a crash that said "Diablo IV has run out of memory and the application needs to exit. This is possibly caused by using graphics settings exceeding your machine capabilities. (right…) Would you like to reset quality settings to default on the next launch? [OK] [CANCEL]
I don’t think it’s isolated directly to PC as other threads have said. I’ve got a handheld ROG Ally running W11 with an AMD graphics chip in it and I’ve been able to play for hours with zero issues on it. I can’t be in the game 2-15 minutes average without it crashing on my PC W11 / i7 / 32
GB Ram / RTX 4080 Super 32GB.
The game was not even running on Ultra at this time.
If you’re specifically are getting out of memory errors, then that problem is your virtual memory. And that is where setting a fixed swap file size is assisting in helping the problem. In your case I would set it to 32768. For both the minimum and maximum size so that the computer doesn’t try to dynamically change it. If you do that it should prevent out of memory errors and maybe your system will actually run better.
Tried that and didn’t have any luck either. I was able to get a solid 3 hours tonight on my handheld. I’ll try again tomorrow after the patch, maybe they’ll sneak in a fix and pretend they knew nothing about it. fingers crossed.
Do you mean Swap or Page file?
