This is the link to the nvidia forums where there are lots of complaints of the recent 555.85 driver. The version right before this also has similar issues. The complaints are across a lot of different games, not just D4.
Go here for the recent list of old nvidia drivers: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us#
I’m in the same boat. Top machine (4090, 7950X3D, 32 GB RAM), and the game must have crashed 12 times in the last 3 days. I tried disabling Ray Tracing, Vertical sync, and a few other things… still crashes. The first 3 seasons were buttery smooth. NEXT: I will try DISSENT’s suggestion to “force windows swap file to 16+ GB” (will have to Google how to do this) and report back.
Keep in mind, the specific driver version I mentioned is only for the 4080 Super (as it was released on Jan 31st)… But you can use a driver from just before or just after.
Thank you DTMAce!!! for the first time in a few days I was able to run 3 dungeons in a row without any CTD. Ooof… Now, seriously, Blizzard have got to address this asap, because that is gonna piss off many players. BTW, I stayed at NVidia’s latest (555.xx) and have not rolled back… the cache fix seems to have done the trick.
hi, I was having same the issue. I added diablo 4 to the Nvidia control panel under Manage 3D settings. then choose program settings then click Add, go to the location of your diablo iv.exe this has fixed the issue for me so far. been 3 days no crash yet. hope this might help…
And sometimes it actually causes issues too. Being its hit and miss, its not normally my go to solution for every situation, but certainly can be tried and it might help. Glad it solved your issue!
hi, I tried removing the drivers with DDU and going all the way back to January 31st release of drivers for Nvidia. but again, this is the only thing that worked for me. rolling back to older drivers does not always work as well.
The running out of memory, thought no idea that I would have any issues, I have 64GB of ram, 7950x3d, 3080ti, 990ssd. I was fine through Season 3 and this last patch for season 4 I was crashing all the time, like could not run D4 so many issues. I looked at my Virtual memory that windows 11 had it set to 9350mb. I changed the paging file and I am able to play diablo 4 on ultra settings and running another apps and stream multiple things again. As of right now for the last 20 mins things are running smooth no crashes. I will give update to this thread later tonight after playing for hours and make sure no more crashes. Your a life saver was about to chuck the computer out the window.
Monitor the vram while you are playing. Open task manager, the performance section, memory, and keep an eye on “Committed” memory. This is where virtual memory can be seen.
If that fills up, it will crash. Webrowsers make this worse depending on what/how many pages you have open.
Yes, you can remove the folders under that location.
NO idea. I don’t have one either in that location. You can also go to the driver panel for nvidia and change the cache setting to “Disabled”. Okay that and save and exit, re-open then reset it to the default setting save and exit again. That should force it to clear the cache files.
