Game freeze + UI scale reset

Hello,

I’ve been having an issue for a while now where my game freezes and my UI scale resets every couple of hours. Doing a /reload usually fixes it but it’s very annoying.

It happens most often when either entering a new zone (right after the loading screen) or after alt-tabbing back into the game.

Every time it happens the logs/gx.log file has the following:

Additionally, whenever it happens if I’m in voice on discord the sound will cut out and I’ll have to leave / rejoin the voice channel to fix the sound. Same thing if I have Spotify or Youtube playing in the background the sound will cut off (and in the case of Youtube I’ll need to refresh the browser window to get back to playing).

Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

I recently took my PC apart and reconnected everything in case it was due to a component not slotted in properly, but the problem still persists.

I’ve looked at the proposed solutions in the pinned thread about lockups but so far nothing has worked. I should mention that the game doesn’t crash, it’s just a freeze for ~5 seconds then the UI scale reset.

Can you post a complete dxdiag. Sounds like the GPU driver might be crashing and recovering

DxDiag
1.Press Windows Key + R.
2.Type DxDiag and press Enter.
3.In the DxDiag window, click Save All Information.
4.Name the file “dxdiag” and click Save
5.Open the txt file above select all, copy and paste to this thread.
You can include the DXDIAG in a reply to the forum post. Place it between rows of ticks (`) for formatting:

Like this.

If it will not allow you to post the whole thing post it on pastebin.com just post the last section of the link see the highlight section below .

Couldn’t post the whole thing so on pastebin: XvQJR3fK

Thanks!

You are getting two errors that are GPU related 141 and D3DDRED2 which is a Direct X error usually. Lets start with a clean install of your GPU drivers.

Go ahead and download DDU from this link

Download the latest drivers from this link

After you have downloaded both run DDU and follow the instructions it will remove all of the old drivers from your machine.

After DDU is done install the new drivers and test

Thanks! I’ve uninstalled with DDU and reinstalled the linked drivers. Here’s a new DxDiag: 3S08fKfu

Looks like there are still problem…?

EDIT: The freeze happened twice in very quick succession just now.

Lets go ahead and clear the error logs so we can see what new errors its setting. Below is the error clear script. Copy it to note pad save it as clear.bat the run it as administrator it will clear your windows logs.

FOR /F “tokens=1,2*” %%V IN (‘bcdedit’) DO SET adminTest=%%V
IF (%adminTest%)==(Access) goto noAdmin
for /F “tokens=*” %%G in (‘wevtutil.exe el’) DO (call :do_clear “%%G”)
echo.
echo goto theEnd
:do_clear
echo clearing %1
wevtutil.exe cl %1
goto :eof
:noAdmin
exit

New pastebin: GxBAHjdc

Looks like all the errors are gone! I’ve definitely ran into the issue since reinstalling the drivers though. Should I re-run DxDiag the next time it happens and see if anything shows up in the errors?

Thanks for the help!

Yes that would be great

It just happened on log in, here’s the new pastebin: Hebm1MWG

Hi Youngstunnah

I don’t see Northernlite around so I’ll pop on here. The Nvidia graphics are crashing according to Windows. I see you have reinstalled using DDU. When you installed the new driver was that a Express install? If so then old Nvidia settings were saved. Let’s reset the Nvidia Control Panel to defaults.

Open Nvidia control panel - along left margin select Manage 3D Settings - click Restore Defaults on the pane that appears. Hit Apply to save changes.

After the changes are saved go back to Manage 3D Settings - midway down the list is Power Management Mode change that from Optimal Power to - Prefer Maximum Performance

Hi Tratt! Yes it was Express so I’ve gone ahead and restored defaults and switched the Power Management Mode to Prefer Maximum Performance. I’ve deleted the windows error logs as well and did a new DxDiag which has no more errors.

I’ll post here if it happens again! Thanks for the help!

Ley us know how it goes :slight_smile:

Thanks again! :slight_smile:

Found these threads with same issue but no fix at the time:

Having the exact same problems, using the exact same GPU.

Lets try underclocking your GPU to see if it fixes the issue. GO ahead and download EVGA precision. You may already have similar software on your computer.
Lower the GPU and memory clocks by 100MHz and see if it helps.

I reduced both by 100 (I think I did that right), I’ll reply after some playing and see if anything goes wrong. Thanks again!

EDIT: Same error a few seconds after zoning in to Nazjatar :frowning:
