"MiniDump has been created at..."

[warm glade]

Lets start troubleshooting this issue further, please post your experience in here and logs if possible.

@haughty plume I know you've been a huge help in troubleshooting VULKAN/Nvidia issues. Tagging you in too.

This is the core issue, we're trying to narrow down further.

via @DoomDuck -- For those who were experiencing crash on launch and had previously tried everything (driver reinstall / rollback, Windows updates, disabling overlays, tweaking NVIDIA settings, messing with VULKAN registry entries, etc) - I was just able to get things running on my end simply by going into Add or remove programs and uninstalling all existing versions of the Vulkan SDK. In my case, I had both 1.2.x and 1.3.x installed as I was playing around with Vulkan to teach myself C++.

This was a tip that @eager bear posted as well.

[haughty plume]

Yeah, I've had people install different versions of Vulkan or just one all together and it's fixed it or at least prolonged the time it took to crash from 5min to 30+

This one I just don't know what more to say about. The game is going to just need a good update to fix this at this point. It's more vulkan side than anything but the fact is also that a lot of peoples pc's also aren't up to par, and the fact that vulkan can collide with A LOT of different apps on a persons PC too and cause major issues and we have no where to look. This one is tough to call at this point. We've tried a lot that's helped quite a bit of people so far, and some not at all and others, just a little.

These people are just going to have to submit in game reports if they can and also submit a full on system report with some Vulkan Debugging if possible to really see what else is going on.

[tall cargo]

Checked to see if there was any Vulkan SDK's lingering on Brendon's PC and there was not. We updated Vulkan runtime, uninstalled with DDU and rolled back drivers, issue persists. Here is his latest log after a crash:

[haughty plume]

so, @warm glade The best thing to do is just go with what @eager bear mentioned at this point.

@tall cargo Do what was mentioned above. Look for any existing vulkan run times on the PC, you may have to use the SDK software at this point to do so, and delete them all and start from scratch.

[hallow wraith]

[W 00:09:59,884] [server] Failed to open Server Info message. error='out of memory'

[E 00:09:59,900] [graphics] Vulkan device lost...
[E 00:09:59,900] Stopping process due to unrecoverable GPU crash!

[warm glade]

Yeah I have that pinned in the #common-issues hopeful its a good work around for folks.

Doesnt seem to be 100/100

[tall cargo]

I checked if there was any previous Vulkan runtimes and there was not. How would I use the Vulkan SDK to resolve this? I do not have a lot of experience with Vulkan.

[haughty plume]

@tall cargo You're showing Vega though. It doesn't say what model. For your problem, is the main GPU actually a vega card, say 56/64 VII? Or do you have 2 gpu's if thats the case, an AMD integrated aka Vega.

[tall cargo]

Vega 64.

[unreal pewter]

so maybe i have to unistall vulkan and use SDK?

[haughty plume]

Regardless, Vega has issues with Vulkan last I checked. Had 2 people already with Vega try to launch the game, no dice. The thing is AMD stopped Vulkan support for Vega last year, so.

[unreal pewter]

or what do you mean?

i have vega 64 aswell

[tall cargo]

So is he just SoL at this point? His game runs fine until he goes to towers or until the capital city.

[haughty plume]

Same for the others that spoke to me, Vega 56 though. Runs fine but eventually fails. We've tried everything for hours.

And this person went through a lot of SDK and other means, further than whats mentioned here, and they still had no luck with vega.

[unreal pewter]

So we have until devs do something?

[haughty plume]

I'm going to be honest. The developers need to impliment DX11 or so. It has to be done at this point.

[unreal pewter]

:_(

[haughty plume]

Vulkan has been an issue for SO MANY gamers on many other games the past few years. Reddit is full of people unable to enjoy certain titles. But luckily those titles also support dx11 and 12 if needed, and they eventually figure that out and play it that way. Here, this game doesn't support either API's.

[unreal pewter]

okay, so we just have to wait

at least for vega

right?

i tried everything and what helped me a bit was just give time to the game to load and it went from 10 mins playing to 40 at least

[haughty plume]

Just waiting is about as much as I can suggest at this point. Believe me. A lot of what's been mentioned has been thrown around between me and a few others who've helped quite a few so far, and mean tons of people really, but for the most, its not everyone.

Nothing mentioned has been a guaranteed fix at all just whats worked for a lot.

It's just the game at this point. My best guess its not utilizing something within vulkan correctly. I'm no developer and cant say much, but I'm sure they've got clues now thanks to everyone reporting the biggest flaw thus far being "device lost" issues.

[unreal pewter]

anyway, thank you so much because i was thinking that i was doing something wrong or anything like that

now i can wait in peace hahaha

[haughty plume]

The thing is, the vulkan issues can start for people using all sorts of different runtimes, for some it may be the latest, others, the oldest causing issues. We cant be for sure.

Say you update it for one person, but it conflicts with something else on their pc while the older version didnt. You get it.

The biggest issue I'm seeing is Devices Running out of VRAM then the driver times out.

which has been reported to edit the launch options to "LOW" everything but still no help for some.

[unreal pewter]

hmmm okay thats why when i deactivated the antialiasing was working better

[haughty plume]

The game DOES have a memory leak issue. It's been noted hopefully.

@warm glade has it ^^^

[hallow wraith]

in my case the latest version of the NVIDIA controllers has fixed the problem

[haughty plume]

This has been the thing for some people too.

From what I read this is literally going to have to be solved on the games side at this point.

Found a reddit dev who mentioned this

"I've found 99% of the time when I've got an error device lost, its because the GPU was in some sort of loop (while loop in shader for example), or the shader didn't implement barriers correctly (forgetting to add barrier() after the other memory barrier functions) or waiting for ever on something that never happened (you turned off validation layers by accident for example, and it didn't warn you you didn't do synchronization correctly, didn't signal a semaphore)."

This seems true too, because from a lot of the logs I've seen, there has been mention of "MEMORY" and shader issues as well as the device lost.

out of bound memory access as its called

Simply put...

From what I've seen, 8gb cards ARE going to struggle. Explains why most 10gb and up gpu's from both sides can play but only for a little bit then crashes later on.

I've read from Vulkan's own posts, that games will not throw a code typically for low Vram all the time, instead the game will crash with device lost mostly every time but memory will be mentioned just not as an error so to speak.

So this game has a memory leak going on both gpu and ram wise.

another note

VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST you'll see that it mostly means the runtime is going to destroy and re-create the objects on the device, but you can't do this while objects are in use. So this return code lets you know that the recreation bit is about ot happen, so you can act appropriately.

[unreal pewter]

@tall cargo hello i think i fixed it LOL

use this

low graphics while it gets fixed, every time i went here it was crashing

[tall cargo]

nice! I just went and bought a new gfx card for brendon.

decided to throw money at the problem.

[unreal pewter]

oh thats better HAHAHA

Latam problems i cant do that so i had to figure it out

enjoy the game!

[unreal pewter]

nvm just crashed xd

have to wait until devs fix it

[hushed sonnet]

hey, guys, yesterday I played about 8 hours without any trouble, but today I've ben unable to play the game because of this error. I tried everything already (uninstall/install drivers, reinstall the game, update windows....) and nothing, I don't know what to do 😦

[rich inlet]

can you post the log?

[solid gorge]

Oddly enough the latest NVIDIA drivers are what broke the game for me. I've turned all the settings down and run in windowed mode. Make the game look bad, but at least it runs.

[rich inlet]

yeah i got this far aswell got 30min of gameplay out of it before a crash

[quick blaze]

Adding my logs for troubleshooting. Running a 3070 GPU and 2700X 8-core CPU, all minimum specs met and getting minidump crash within seconds of starting the game. Doesn't reach titlescreen, just a black screen with white rectangle for about 1 second and then the crash.

Not overclocking in any way, including XMP. No faulty drives attached, no integrated graphics enabled.

Have already tried the following:

• Verifying game files
• Reinstalling the game
• Updating Windows
• Updating to latest nvidia drivers
• Rolling back to older nvidia drivers (546.01, 546.65) with DDU to remove the newer ones
• Updating Vulkan runtime
• Checked that there are no versions of Vulkan SDK installed
• Changing Vulkan/OpenAPI present options in NVIDIA control panel to prefer native and also prefer DXGI swapchain
• Clearing shader cache
• Disabling shader cache
• Increasing size of shader cache
• Closing all background programs like afterburner
• Disabling overlays
• Running in admin mode

The log terminates with no clear errors, last line is always:
[GameFramework] Initialize 'DebugConnection' - #20 took 5.00 us

[hushed sonnet]

found something about older version of vulkan on steam foruns and checked on my PC and there are some application forcing the 1.2 version but IDK how to fix it

[haughty plume]

Probably have to use the Vulkan SDK and do a full uninstall and fix it that way. Look up how to remove Vulkan entirely and go from there.

[rich inlet]

vkWaitForFences pls add more fences XD

[solid gorge]

There is a note about going to "Add/Remove Programs" and uninstalling old vulkan SDK versions to fix the MiniDump error. When I go there I do not seed and vulkan sdk versions. When I go to install vulkan SDK, it just takes me to the same nvidia driver I alread have. Game worked great for hours on "quality" settings on the first day I played. Now it only barely works with every graphics setting off, and still crashes if I go into build mode. Incredibly frustrating.

log attached for the MiniDump error

[keen slate]

Well seems that I found a way to work around, start the game and then set everything to low graphic settings, play a couple mins and after that crank the graphics setting back up and it doesnt crash anymore.

[boreal helm]

Mine was giving me the minidump error automatically when booting the game. This is how I fixed it:

Let me know if this fixes the minidump error. Worked for me. On the games page on steam. (Little gear icon) Properties>General>Launch Option> I typed "fullscreen" and it loaded up for me.

[ivory siren]

AMD GPU here... tried that, no luck.

No Vulkan SDKs here either.

obviously Vulkan is somehow present though... reading dump log showed vulkan instance 1.3.261 (variant 0)

[coarse pecan]

Hmm. I am 60 hours into gameplay with no prior issues at all. Now every few minutes I am getting this error :/ not sure what to do.. Here are the latest logs. Thanks in advance for any help~ Note: Each time has been while planting crops but unsure if just because I have been trying to farm for the last hour lol

[hushed sonnet]

I deleted Overwolf and the warning message disapeared. I could create a character and enter the world (I cou7ldnt before) but right after leaving the ruins, it crashed again

[nocturne roost]

dont want to be mean, but this thread is kinda useless, the screenshot is just the general message someone gets when they crash, there mutliple different crashes with the same screenshot. So without the log from the person themself you cant do anything, its like searching for a needle in a hay bale

[warm glade]

It's better than nothing, idk hwo to make it better for you.

[obtuse wolf]

My most recent dump.

(I have about 8 more within the last 24 hours, should I just post them all to help? Or latest should be fine?)

[tall cargo]

I actually found this thread to be pretty enlightening after there was a space to talk about the specific issue I was having. A lot of talk about specific issues gets buried in the onslaught of #troubleshooting issues so it was nice to have a good little streamline of convo here.

Ultimately the biggest thing this thread taught me was that it was time to retire the Vega, unfortunately. BUT- at least I got more clear info here than I ever got in the other chat.

[nocturne roost]

vega is for most games fine, its just amd is way behind nvidea with their drivers and the devs choose vulkan instead of dirext which is fine, but most of the industries focusesses on directx or they support both.

[tall cargo]

Honestly it's just as well. It's been a while since @woven compass had a proper upgrade and he was overdue for it. If this was what gave me the push to go buy it for him- then blessing in disguise, I suppose!

and his game looks so much nicer now!

[nocturne roost]

lucky husband haha

[tall cargo]

i'm the lucky one!

[nocturne roost]

or both xd

[tall cargo]

haha if you asked brendon, he'd say we are both very lucky.

[sour turtle]

Here's my 2 pence worth. Kept getting the crash notification so deleted Graphics driver 551.23 from 'add remove programs/settings, Apps' And played for 5 hours last night, joy! Loaded the game today, fine! Updated the graphics driver and the game (buttery smooth with 85 fps) immediately crashed. The latest crash log of that process is enclosed for
the usual perusal.

[sour turtle]

This guy helped me! Capping fps to 60 did the trick, weirdly. 13 mins and 20 seconds in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sr1OfC-GXQ

[tall cargo]

out of curiosity what's your GPU?

[sour turtle]

3060ti

though, 20 mins in, just crashed 😦

[tall cargo]

aw damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I have the same card but I've not had any issues just yet.

[lean bough]

lmfao he sugegsts runnig game with -dx12 variable :-)))))) true proffesional passing info that have no chance to be working 😄

[solid gorge]

Also on a 3060ti...although I see Megan is as well, without having issues.

[cosmic latch]

Hey I keep getting this only when I open the map and weird thing FPS drops down to like 10 FPS when I am on the map only.. It's frustrating when I am playing with friends and game crashes.. anyone has a fix.. read that I could uninstall older versions of vulkan but I don't even have any of that installed.. I even tried verifying integrity as well did not help.
Everytime I crash as well because of that my 11 skill points that I used resets and stuff I threw or looted or salvaged dissappears also.. it's like it's not saving my character inventory and stuff i looted or used.

[dark acorn]

Ok i've read your message, i'm currently on the state as you, i got a vega 64 and i can play, but if i got to a big city or to the tower i does crash

[tall cargo]

I'm sorry you're going through that 😦 I ended up just going and buying him a 4060.

It didn't sound like it was going to be fixed any time soon so I decided to just throw money at the problem.

[dark acorn]

ahaha that a solution, but i can't at the moment, by any chance, any amd card got the same problem ? One friend of mine may sell me is rx 6700 xt, does the crash happen with it tooo ?

[junior plaza]

This happens all the time, playing solo or with friends.

[tall cargo]

He has not had any crashes or issues with his new card.

[dark acorn]

Yeah with a 4060 he should be fine ^^

Does anyone here use or got a friend who use a 970 ti ? I might try it instant of vega 64, who know lmfaooo

[odd hill]

I have tried everything possible. The game crashes in the loading screen. sometimes after several attempts and changes it works and i can play the game until i quit it. when i try it again directly afterwards it doesn't work anymore. although everything is set the same.

[wintry lake]

My girlfriend is running a 6700xt no crash so far after 10 hours

[languid furnace]

Is there a way for us to visually watch the server client on a second screen while we are playing? So that we can see when it starts giving memory errors and what not instead of just dumping. And/or best way to monitor resources being used. When I have crashed I have only used task manager performance and it only showed me using 8 of 12 gigs of VRAM and I was only using 51% of RAM when I got a crash for server out of memory / vulkan device lost.

I guess a way to unhide the server would be nice or maybe run a local dedicated client and connect? I only play private, possibly a dedicated might help?

I have tried all fixes mentioned. I even ran in administrator, disabled full screen optimizations and override DPI scaling. I did this and I was able to play the game for like 3 hours with no crash. Now it just crashes every 30 minutes now.

[quick blaze]

yeah I think waiting for another fix is the best we can do - it's such a tricky bug, doesn't seem to be linked to hardware as my 2070 can run it totally fine without trying any of the suggested fixes but my 3070 can't even get to the titlescreen even after trying pretty much everything

[earnest oar]

so i got amd vega graphics card and always end up getting mini dump error when walking towards the big towers or capital city, can i hope for a hotfix which ends up actually fixing that?

[solid gorge]

Works better on my steam deck than on my 3060ti 🤷‍♂️. I think I still have a 1080 laying around. Maybe I should reinstall that 😆

[unreal pewter]

GUYS FOR AMD VEGA WHAT WORKED FOR ME WAS THIS

LIMIT FPS TO 60

I CAN PLAY FOR AT LEAST 2H BEFORE THE CRASH

[rich inlet]

@languid furnace Looks like you are just getting a generic Vulkan Crash, Have alook at the pinned comments in the troubleshoot channel they might work for you if they don't it will be a matter of waiting for dev's to fix 😦

[languid furnace]

i tried all the fixes

[heavy radish]

Hey guys, trying to toubleshoot for my friend, anyone know what's the issue? Thanks!

[rich inlet]

@heavy radish Looks like they are running out of vram a 1060 3gb wont be able to run the game unfortunatly. only fix there is a new GPU

[heavy radish]

sadge, thanks

[covert abyss]

heres zip with all my crashes over 3 days time period ... theres a lot .

[worn bough]

haven't been able to load in at all just purchased game

[boreal dagger]

Hello everyone, Sorry if I disturbed you, you seem to be heatedly discussing something, but I don’t understand anything :)
I don’t really understand, will this problem related to MiniDump be fixed or does something need to be done? I'm just googling and can't find a fix. Should I wait for developers or is there a fix? already annoying

[quick blaze]

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure a 1030 doesn't meet the minimum requirement, which is a 1060 6GB

[worn bough]

ah ok

[vast light]

@languid furnaceWithout having red all your comments, but the log say this.

Can you try to lower the graphic settings, which will also lower the graphic memory used.
That part shows up a lot of times before the crash.

[obtuse wolf]

I am running mine on Max Performance, and usually get this minidump crash when I'm loading into my solo game. Just another record. 🙂

This is all mumbo-jumbo to me, so maybe someone can decipher an issue on my end. Unless it is just the overarching issues we are mostly dealing with

[languid furnace]

i have everything set to performance, even disabled fsr

[vast light]

There are apps you can run i see you have 2 monitors, you can try run OCCT on the other, and see the memory.. usage.

https://www.ocbase.com/download

This guy runs the game fine on a 1080 TI so hmm.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRV6gQ7jpSM

[languid furnace]

crazy i don't get it. able to play it for 3 hours no problem one day and the next i can play for 30 minutes, now it lasts like 10 minutes.

[inner moat]

help me!

when I get to the main menu it already crashes!

[vast light]

The log shows its a Volkan issue, might help to look here, can see you got a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
But i do not know much about Volken, så not sure if it helps, but worth a try 🙂

https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

The last messages before crash was:

[W 00:00:11,927] Tried to get hierarchy from invalid animation graph

[E 00:00:16,317] [graphics] Vulkan device lost...
[E 00:00:16,317] Stopping process due to unrecoverable GPU crash!

Vulkan device lost... and no clue what it means, but... 🙂

[languid furnace]

i installed this vulkan beta driver and so far its lasting longer than it did before. https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

[vast light]

But longer = not crashed so far or just longer and still crash

[urban bear]

Can't load into world

[vast light]

Looks like memory, the RTX 3080 should not have memory problem, 10gb ram should be fine.
The error, that leads to the crash (last 2 lines), say its out of memory.

[E 00:01:02,537] [memory] Could not allocate 42,008,576 bytes of memory, error=1455

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-manage-virtual-memory-pagefile-windows-10,36929.html

[urban bear]

this is the UR5 bug, isn't it?

[vast light]

But ofc you can always, try lower the graphic.

Unreal Engine 5 ?

[urban bear]

yes

i understand what to do here in theory, like fix the virtual memory numbers, but i'm not sure where to get the numbers from for my own thing, is it off the VRAM, or the regular RAM? and i calculate it that way?

[vast light]

Errm, do not know 😄
I just look at the log, see what happens before the crash, i see it loads the shaders, and gets finnished with that, than moves on to atmosphere, and it leads to System Ready, but than it runs out of memory.

[languid furnace]

Didn't crash. Will play test more tomorrow.

[vast light]

The GPU has 10 gb Vram, i got the same card 3080 (2 morrow i hope i get the 4080 Super tho), and i run every thing on max, and have no problem, thats what leads me to think it must be because of the "normal" ram, and you can than increase the ram (sorta), byt letting Windows use your harddrive as memory.

Also you can try closing all the stuff that runs in the background, browser...

[urban bear]

thanks for the help, i'm just going to try this game again in a year or so maybe, i'm not feeling all this troubleshooting. Good luck on yours!

[vast light]

Ah ok, np and have fun 🙂

[quick blaze]

After trying all of this I somehow managed to fix my version of the minidump error (crash before titlescreen with no errors in log) - after a restart I reinstalled the latest Vulkan RT (just on top of the existing one), and checked "Run as Administrator" in the properties menu of enshrouded.exe. I had previously tried just right clicking enshrouded.exe and running as admin that way, but it didn't work for whatever reason. I had to change the properties of the exe in order for it to run.

[neat forge]

i have an update to this after doing my own limited tech savy knowledge and i am pretty sure i have identified the real culprit and its not vulkan named files

[rich inlet]

For some of us it's the vulkan api for some it's not

Well atleast Their engine renderer to the vulkan api

[neat forge]

Darn it never mind. I managed to get the game to start 12 times in a row after deleting a very specific thing but now ive done it 5 times in a row and it hasnt started yet...leaving my hope of contributing less then helpful

[rich inlet]

atleast you gave it a shot 😄

looks like alot of us are going to have to wait for the dev's when ever that is going to be

[rich inlet]

@royal hound Looks like your game is running off intergrated gpu

[dense hornet]

hello pls help me i don't know how to fix this 🥹

[rich inlet]

@dense hornet Unforuntatly you wont be able to, Your on a gtx 1050 those don't have enough vram to run the game you need a minimum of 6gb

FFX_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY

VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

[dense hornet]

🥲

[earnest oar]

can any1 check this log

getting mini dumps when walking towards big towers or capital city

[rich inlet]

Looks like a generic Vulkan crash

[earnest oar]

how can i fix that? fresh installing vulkan and stuff?

[rich inlet]

some people have had relief on AMD cards limiting FPS to 60

[earnest oar]

ye saw that, will try that now

hopefully it works

[rich inlet]

Yeah do a fresh install of drivers

[earnest oar]

ok will try that, thank you

[rich inlet]

you can also run this to see if it picks up and registery errors with some vulkan stuff

and fix

[earnest oar]

ok so i limited my fps to 60 and ran the VkDiag (it found some problems and fixed them) but still getting the same crash

now i will move on to fresh installing everything

[cosmic elk]

Another AMD Vega 56 user here crashing around the ancient spires.
Just add it to the pile I guess.

[stoic wind]

has there been any fix to this issue

no minidump gets created

it only says the game crashes on launch

[median lichen]

Hi here, i'm Vega 64 user, and this is my last crash among the 30 before

[rich inlet]

So a little update i reformated my PC
I got 30min before a crash.

But still getting

[E 00:32:35,435] vkWaitForFences() failed with error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST
[E 00:32:35,435] [graphics] Vulkan device lost...
[E 00:32:35,435] Stopping process due to unrecoverable GPU crash!

thats by far the longest play time ive had average is 2-5min

nvm now its crashing within 2min

REE

[plain silo]

i got that with the newest drivers
i went to go with one before the newest drivers and right now the game just runs smoothly

but i have a Nvidia RTX 3060 TI, dont know if that will solve your problem

[rich inlet]

Yeah i'd done all that im on a 1080, I think there was just something sucking rescourses tbh causing more crashes than normal now ive reformatted all that chinese spyware gone

[meager barn]

So you go with driver version 546.65?

[obtuse wolf]

I'm running an NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB and I've gotten playtime. I just get random crashes here and there. I play on Max Performance for longer playtime before the MiniDump Crash happens.

Game will run, and it runs smoothly until the MiniDump Error.

[rich inlet]

have 3gb of vram will be your biggest limiting factor

[obtuse wolf]

Always baffles me when my rig can run more graphically intensive games, but a new one comes out and goes: "Ah ah ah! Can't play that one!"

[gritty fern]

Minidump crash seem to got worse today.

[obtuse wolf]

Latest crash this morning

[obtuse wolf]

After setting Max Performance + turning off Anti-Aliasing, I played for a solid hour and a half without a crash. Work is the only reason I had to shut it down today. Ran smooth.

While I get that the reqs say 6gb vram required, the game runs smoother and with higher settings on my steam deck with 1gb vram than on my 3060ti with 8. Something else is going wrong

[obtuse wolf]

😂 After running fine, I load in to fun graphical glitches (all white pixel boxes flickering) then this minidump.

[fallen summit]

This exact same thing happens to me on my Vega 56. Occasional crashes on tower teleports and reliable crashes on visiting big cities

My consensus from all the other Vega users and the games optimization so far is:

Possibility 1

1. There is some sort of memory leak issue currently in the game. Going to certain places in the game triggers the leak.
2. Vega 56 and Vega 64 GPUs are unable to cope with the leak which leads to crashes.
3. A fix by the devs could resolve this issue

Possibility 2

1. Vega 56 and Vega 64 GPUs are simply unable to fully use the required Vulkan features.
2. Vulkan updates for Vega GPUs are no longer supported.
3. There is no solution (except if the game supports an alternative to Vulkan...which is not planned afaik)

Please correct me if I misunderstood @tall cargo @haughty plume

[boreal ginkgo]

what are these "vulkan" drivers, i went to install but it says i have a new driver version? is this automatic with nividia drivers?

[haughty plume]

Vega can play it but just crashes in the long run. Could be due to the leak but unsure. Vega can still support current vulkan titles as of December just fine and so on, no problem. It was mostly Linux that was canned entirely for Vega and Vulkan.

Vega will just have to wait for a a game patch

[blissful night]

I came here to see if there was a fix, but now I'm even more confused. Keep going guys. I believe in you.

[obtuse wolf]

So, just want to give my two cents to maybe help some folks. I was having this minidump/crash issue randomly as well. On startup, mid-game, etc.
I'm using an NVIDIA 1060 3GB. Just ran the game for a solid 3 hours without an issue. (Restarting for patch).

• Don't run the game directly through Steam. Run it through the .exe in the folder, as an Admin.
• I've optimized my NVIDIA Settings for Enshrouded (The GeForce Experience app allows you to do this with a press of a button)
• I'm running Max Performance Settings with any Anti-Aliasing off. (The game still looks great IMO even with Max Performance settings).
• In the NVIDIA Control Panel, I have the 3D settings set to "Threaded Optimization - Off" and "Vulkan/OpenGL Present Method - Auto" (I'm unsure if these shift with the optimization I mentioned prior, but the Threaded Optimization being off helped with another game a while back so I just did it to see if it would help any.)

Hope this helps someone else 😄

[boreal ginkgo]

can you test this with AA on? id hate to have to turn that off

[obtuse wolf]

Let me see. I know I tried it before I changed other settings around.

Well, it looks like AA turned back on automatically to FSR2 and it has launched and been running since that post.

😄

[solid gorge]

I believe the vulkan sdk is part of your Nvidia drivers. If you go to the vulkan website, choose windows, choose an Nvidia card, it links you to the Nvidia driver download page on Nvidia's website.

[halcyon gull]

Good Afternoon! So I have been having the "MiniDump" crash issue since launch, and through all the updates. The game loads just fine, and I usually get anywhere from 5-15 minutes of gametime in and then it just caves. Have gone through all the fixes online to no avail. Have checked performance levels to see of there are any anomaly's, but nothing works. This is happening both on a private server as well as just my local game. I have lots and lots of logs...

[jagged trellis]

Has anyone who had the problem already tested it after today's patch?

[fallen summit]

• Vulkan SDK is the development kit for Vulkan programmers. You dont need to download this.
• Vulkan runtime is needed to run games that use Vulkan.

both are available here: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home

However normally downloading the Vulkan runtime should not be required since your GPU driver is already taking care of that

• For Nvidia: https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver
• For AMD: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-vulkan

Downloading Vulkan runtime helped some people to fix their issues.

[ancient grail]

I haven't tested yet but that patch notes done say anything about them crashes. Mainly just save stability.

[obtuse wolf]

Bare in mind, save stability will mean...if the crashes happen...it is less likely you'll lose progress

[sharp rose]

This is a difficult position to be in; I keep teetering between asking for a refund and trying to wait it out. Would be nice to know if it was at least on the Devs' radar so we could expect a patch down the line, but as it is we're basically in the dark on if the game will ever be fully playable. Playing the game in 20ish minute segments before a crash is pretty unreasonable.

And unlike Megan, I can't justify upgrading the card for this game regardless of cost. At least in my experience, I've never had issues with literally any other game and still run everything at High to Max settings on this GPU; this is literally the first time I've ever had any sort of performance problem. Bit of a bummer.

[lavish plover]

[unreal pewter]

well i fixed it

not for so long but i can play for 2 to 4h

then i just have to re open it but at least i can play while they fix it

thats all i did and delete vulkan

limit fps less than 60 will help alot

[sharp rose]

Personally I'd call this a janky workaround at best, and certainly not a fix. Seeing as the most of the POIs in the game with any amount of interior are a guaranteed crash and them being a very important part of the game progression, it still doesn't really resolve much.

A "fix" in my mind would mean "no more crashing for the exact same reason"

[unreal pewter]

yes ik it is just like a 'patch' i undertand that ur right

and i have the same problem than you because i play many games and never had a problem like this

[ivory bobcat]

So what worked for me is to run the game max performance + windowed mode

Never crashed even after 6 hour session

Regarding the AMD Vega crashes

I'm done investigating, nothing that can be fixed outside of the games programming.

I reported all relevant AMD Vega crash information in a bug report via the F1 ingame report option. Let's hope the developers find a solution to the issue 🙏

[ancient grail]

Anybody know if rx580 will work? I think it's Polaris. I want my roommate to get game but not if it's gonna crash

No mini dump gets created for me it just says game crashed

Still have not been able to play at all since launch

[covert abyss]

just refund it since you cant play it

[storm echo]

hello, i have an issue with this crash since bying this game, been trying to fix it for 2 days, but still nothing. so far was playing through Geforce now, but cant use it always because its my brothers.

[languid furnace]

@warm glade have been having Vulkan Device lost every 10 minutes for the last 2 days. Ryzen 2700x and 1080 ti. I disabled SMT in bios and not only have i gained performance, but i haven't crashed in over an hour

[meager barn]

Thanks , your method works for me as well, using driver version 546.65 and seems like the crash is “fixed”.

[sand orbit]

so i've come to notice that i get the minidump crash Vulkan...lost device / GPU crash Error whenever Im at or near the Main base. Its a lvl 4 Fire Alter at lvl 6 flame - we have all the npcs, tons of equipment in magical boxes, and all the crafting benches. I usually crash within 5 mins when in that area. I have to teleport away almost immediately when i log into the game if im near there. Because of all the stuff that we have at the base, its hard to even know whats causing it.

so maybe pay attention to the location of your crash, if its random i dunno then, but for me its 99% at the main base location

[solid gorge]

Been fighting this for days, with very little success. I could barely play with everything turned to potato settings on a 3060ti. I reverted to the previous nvidia driver and now getting a stable 70fps balanced settings on a 3440x1440 display. Give it a shot! edit: going to throw a * on this. When I reverted my drivers, I did not check the box to install geforce experience, and that apears to have uninstalled it. I cannot be sure if reverting the driver, or uninstalling GeForce experience actually fixed things. Try one, the other, or both. Either way, I just played for 30 minutes with no crash. I hope this helps someone!

[waxen current]

Anyone know exactly why im crashing?

I have reverted drivers to last one as well and still does not work

[rich inlet]

Hmm i cant actually see why at all tbh

theres nothing jumping out in your log as to why

[dense oar]

i crash on the fist cutscene unless hosting my own world then the cutscene plays but it says loading after the cutscene forever any ideas

[dense oar]

is this what i share

or this

[rich inlet]

not enough Vram

[dense oar]

thank you how do i find out how to increase that

[rich inlet]

unfortunatly only way you can is buy a new GPU

[dense oar]

okay can i buy any gpu or are there certain ones

[rich inlet]

your 1060 only has 3gb avail to use, Game needs a minimum of 6gb

[dense oar]

okay so any 5gb vram

6

[rich inlet]

You should be able to buy any, its just up to your budget but aim for something with at least 8gb

[dense oar]

okay thanks dfude

[rich inlet]

np

[dense oar]

i get paid on the first so ill se what i can do i know my computer is custom so can i easly install it myself

[rich inlet]

you could try running the game in 720p resolution with everything on perfomance but no garuntee it wont crash with that card

[dense oar]

how do i make it run on 720p

sorry iam still learning computers

i know how to mod that like it lol

[rich inlet]

set the ingame resolution to 1280x720

[dense oar]

oh ok lol iam dumb

[rich inlet]

bare warning it will look like ass

[dense oar]

thanks dude have a great night

[dense oar]

lol i put it to 320x120 and it still crashed its something in that cutscene cause i made it through it one time but it was when i first got it so i though that save might be corrupt and deleted it but its the cut scene causse when i host a world the cutscene plays fine iam just gonna buy a better gpu and see what happens

[proper comet]

i had instant crashes when entering the Pike town with Vega. Deleted the settngs json and at the moment it did not crash. Will report if it crashes

[sick jungle]

Hey, can you also please check if you crash at ancient spire tower after deleting those settings file? I also have AMD Vega and everytime I'm close to the tower I have instant crash. @proper comet

[proper comet]

it worked for 15 min, but it just crashed

Looks like we need to wait for a proper fix

[gritty fern]

okay. This is getting kind of annoying. I need help with this minidump thing. @.@ What's the best fix out there?

[crude root]

Hi, have the minidump issue (Edit: local, hosting game - no other players in instance at time of crashes).

• Noticed on the 28th (AM in Aus).
• Would crash 1-2 minutes after loading into game.
• Reinstalled game, no change.
• Installed VulkanRT as recommended in troubleshooting thread.
• First re-launch the error continued the same.
• Second launch lasted just under 20 minutes before crashing again (log attached)

[languid furnace]

Disabling SMT/hyperthreading in BIOS fixed mine from crashing, been plaguing me for 2 days.

[obtuse wolf]

I will reiterate for @dense oar too. I am running with a GeForce 1060 3GB and can play the game without issue as long as I play on Max Performance.

I know the game pre-reqs say you need 6GB of VRAM but I had the game running for 8 hours straight yesterday with NO issues running with 3GB of VRAM. This issue is MUCH deeper than the VRAM. Granted, I've gotten the "Stopping Process due to unrecoverable GPU Crash" minidump error too once or twice. But it is NOT on each of my minidump errors.

This issue is something else, especially if people with more VRAM are getting the error too.

[solid gorge]

To pile on here, the game runs on Steamdeck, which has 1gb of dedicated vram. I haven't been to the busiest places in the game yet, but it works where my 3060ti wasn't. Rolling back drivers to the previous version (and unintentionally removing GeForce experience) got my 3060ti working great again.

[vast light]

Redo of the message.
Looked bit more in the log, so my first assesment was probably wrong, you have a "GeForce GTX 1660" meats the minimum req, with 6gb vram (but may still try to lower the graphic settings, just in case).
You computer got enough ram left after the game starts
Log shows: freeSize 10,905,640,960

The last minutes before your crash, shows nothing really, the "Setting Game process priority to lower to free up cpu resources for other applications" and "Setting Game process priority to normal" is also happening for me, and i have not had any crashes in the 80+ hours i have played, so probably a normal game optimisation going on.

It may just be a game thing, random crashes for some, lost of connections.. i do not know how the game works, if it pings back and forth, and if x package is lost = exit. Or it waits to see if it can sync up.

[vast light]

Drink more Coca Cola i say, sleep less.

Sorta depends on what needs fixing, if it is Thirst, Coca Cola i say. If it is because you do not have enough time to play, Sleep less...

Sorry im old, so bad jokes will happen.

I look at your log, and compared to mine, yeah i am lazy have not even done that before 10 mins ago.

I see every one i have looked at loga from, ends with:
[E 00:19:55,011] [graphics] Vulkan device lost...
[E 00:19:55,011] Stopping process due to unrecoverable GPU crash!

And the 20+ logs of my own i looked into NOT a single one did that.
Mine all ends with some thing like:
[I 16:31:47,044] [GameFramework] Shutdown 'ProfilingTimer' - #3 took 54.00 us
[I 16:31:47,044] [GameFramework] Shutdown 'ParseParameters' - #2 took 9.00 us

Which leads me to think it must be Volkan that is the problem, when i exit the game as you can see on the 2 last line of my logs, the game Shutsdown, and not "Stopping process due to unrecoverable GPU crash!"

I would reccomend you go and get the nevest Volkan drivers.
https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.3.275.0/windows/VulkanRT-1.3.275.0-Installer.exe

[vast light]

Steps to try, easy steps first

• Disable Overlay in Steam.
• Go into steam folder, and rename or delete the "shadercache", dont worry it is recreated, it is shaders... This will force the game to recompile Shaders on start. \SteamLibrary\steamapps\
• Try closing EVERYTHING that is running, and not needed, Look at the task bar, where the clock is, and close anything, You can also use task manager and force close s..t.
• Is Windows up 2 date? Try updating windows.
• Verify Integrity of the game, or uninstall and reinstall (Not always repair works)
• Try run the game with Admin Rights, (or even steam, depends on the problem you have), go to the \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Enshrouded right click enshrouded.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Run this program as an Administrator.
• Are your GPU... getting to hot, ran out of memory...
  Try run OCCT (my default go to program, https://www.ocbase.com/download), if you have 2 monitors, have it on the other screen, look at
  the top, it shows how much vram.. are used, how hot your GPU are...
• Update the Volkan drivers, https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.3.275.0/windows/VulkanRT-1.3.275.0-Installer.exe (most Graphic Card Drivers come with Vulkan, so may want the next step first)
• Reinstall the graphic drivers, but fist Run (Display Driver Uninstaller). Read here how to use DDU #troubleshooting message DDU will remove EVERYTHING for your graphic card. Direct Download: https://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/games/PC/guru3d/ddu/[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip
• Than download and install the newest driver for your Graphic Card. (NVIDIA users, you can rollback to a older version like 546.65, some have had this working for them, where the newest one failed)

[cosmic latch]

I assume nobody is able to help then since I haven't gotten any response to this yet from few days ago..

[blissful night]

The last update did it for me. If I use the performance option, the game runs nice and smooth

almost one day with no minidumps

[vast light]

All i can say is, the last few lines are a common thing, so many ends with:
[game_framework] Setting Game process priority to lower to free up cpu resources for other applications
[game_framework] Setting Game process priority to normal
[graphics] Vulkan device lost...
Stopping process due to unrecoverable GPU crash!

But you got a 2080 TI, should have enough Vram, and your computer memory is way beyond what is needed, so it is not because it runs out of memory, or hte GPU cant handle it.
But when i compare all my closing of the game, not one of them ends with the
[graphics] Vulkan device lost...
Stopping process due to unrecoverable GPU crash!

Which makes me believe its a Volkan problem (without knowing, i do not know this engine, or anything about how the game is made), same i do not know Volkan, never had to deal with it, but i would suggest you try to install either a new gpu driver and use the DDU first, and try again, i have not had to install any Volken drivers separately to run the game.

Therefor start with uninstalling the drivers for your 2080 TI, and than get the new drivers, if that did not help, than go for the Volkan, or just try volkan first up 2 you 🙂

I am not here all the time, i do not know if any of the devs have responded to any of the MiniDump, and what the reasons may be, there for i can only guess.

[plain silo]

great to be able to help :3

[plain silo]

or he can just go with the driver before the newest, that worked for MIBO and me 🙂

[vast light]

Well each machine has its own thing, i just know the nevest drivers 551.23 from nvidia works fine for me, so presume it should for other also, after all it had some specific Enshrouded DLSS 2...

But glad it worked with older 🙂 New is not always better, but also old not always better, i know cause im OOOOOOLD 🙂

[neat forge]

ive been brute forcing the dump issue. Ive been verifying files everytime i want to play and then saying yes to opening dumpfiles and after 2-3 yes it usually opens

[jagged trellis]

Guys, after today's patch, will the "Mini Dump" "crashed" continue?

[vast light]

There were no patch today, latest was "Hotfix #7", but they may put something out later.

@neat forge You have to try to open the game several times before it starts?
You say you have verified integrity of the game every time, but did you ever try to remove/uninstall it, and start fresh?

[sand orbit]

Is anyone else having the mini dump crash - Vulkan device lost : GPU crash - in specific LOCATIONS on the map??
I'm noticing my crashes are only at my MAIN BASE

[wet lily]

Everytimes at Main but I've got somes at other places but it's rare

[sand orbit]

i wonder what it is about our main base

[crude root]

that's true for me too, the main base crashes noticeably faster than other locations (based in that typical start zone)

[sand orbit]

i crash normally wihtin 3-5 mins at main base

else where around the map i played for up to 4-5 hrs without crashing

[wet lily]

Guys, I'v optimised the game with Geforce experience

and since 20min I'm in main

there is no crash

for the moment

LOL I lied, it crashed when I finished my sentence

fml

[vast light]

What GPU do yoy have, some older models do not support every thing, Vulkan may try to load some effect that is not supported by the GPU, and there for crashes, if a friend placed a item.. while you were away, and came back...
If you play Solo than hmm yeah well 😄

But can be many things, just the game that is not optimised yet, that normaly happens late, the coders need the debug code in it, and other c..p

[solid gorge]

Playing on a 3060ti. Game played great on nvidia drivers 546.65, patched to 551.23 and it barely ran with constant crashing. Rolled back to 546.65 and unintentionaly removed GeForce Experience and it was great again. Patched back to 551.23, intentionally without GeForce Experience and it remains great! It was great with 546.65 with experience installed, but not with 551.23 + experience.

[sand orbit]

im running a 2080 Super

[vast light]

Yeah i have seen other say the same, but i have not had any problems with it.
so yeah try to roll back as @solid gorge said.

[vast light]

Yeah that should run fine with it hmm.

Can also be that you may have to install / Update the Volkan drivers,https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home (Download the runtime from this month )
(or direct download ) https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.3.275.0/windows/VulkanRT-1.3.275.0-Installer.exe

[sand orbit]

i already updated and installed the latest runtime for vulkan

then i uninstalled teh sdk

none of it has fixed the issue

the common cause is my main base is all i found out

[vast light]

Can you send a few logs, can see if i can find a pattern, like some items were loaded...
Or open them your self, and scroll to the end of the file, see what happens before the crash.
\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Enshrouded\backup

If the file ends with something like this, where it say "[GameFramework] Shutdown", that was NOT a crash, but a normal exit, than regard that .log file.
[I 02:11:17,254] [GameFramework] Shutdown 'ProfilingTimer' - #3 took 51.00 us
[I 02:11:17,254] [GameFramework] Shutdown 'ParseParameters' - #2 took 7.00 us

A crash will most likely ends with:
[E 00:01:41,991] [graphics] Vulkan device lost...
[E 00:01:41,991] Stopping process due to unrecoverable GPU crash!

[rich inlet]

vulkan is dookie

[waxen current]

I thought i was just dumb and was missing something in the log. Well this is frustrating I can't even have the game up for 1 second before it crashes lol

[maiden turtle]

minimizing the window and staying away from main base seems to work for me for a bit got up to 40 minutes without a crash.

also placing new base and workbench seems to be okay without crashing

[neat storm]

having minidump issue, have had since day after game launch, never ever had any issues with other games, posting here to see if there is something in the log that can help identify the issue as there is like 100 different 'fixes' here and people are still having the issue.

[vast light]

it could indicate that a item... that is in the base causes the problem, or the big amount of items overloads your computer, and leads to a crash.

Did you run to the base, or teleport when the crash happens?
If you only have done teleport, try to run to the base, see if that may help, and aproce the base slowly, see if that makes any difference.

Not knowing what may be the cause, like said 20000 items needs to load, or a effect from 200 torches...

So the walking may be worth a test 😄

If you were to log into the log, you may find a pattern for the crash, see what happens right before the crash.

[vast light]

Not really much indicating anything, but not knowing what [ecss], [ecsp].. is, i can only guess on those, but looking at the last 5 lines.

[I 00:05:56,534] [savedata] Compression of Blob 0x00000539::SRSG took 29.00 us

[E 00:08:24,358] [graphics] Vulkan device lost...
[E 00:08:24,358] Stopping process due to unrecoverable GPU crash!

Nothing "bad" is happening until the Vulkan device lost...
really hard to say from the last 2 lines (when nothing prior really has happend), what the problem is.

Looked at the spec and ram... all are great,

There were 1 error:

[W 00:00:01,907] [resource] Could not load resource cache file 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Enshrouded/enshrouded.krc'. error=file not found

But thats was on load of the game, 7 minutes before the crash.

I can only refere to the #1201276790459604992 message i made, or wait for some one else to come up with some thing, but it may just be the game, but the "Vulkan device lost..." hmm

[neat storm]

I looked up the vulkan device lost in a few different places and looks like some people had old gpu which mine is 3060ti and should be fine, some have said to rollback nvidia drivers so i will try that

[neat storm]

Yep rolling back the drivers for nvidia fixed it. Maybe that should be everyones first attempt.

Would have saved me a week of not playing the game.

[zealous sage]

Entering or even getting near the tower with the Farmers Vault in it is nearly a guaranteed crash a Vega 64; which in turn makes for a good testing. I managed to make it almost stable by reducing the GPU max frequency/reducing the frequency of the higher power states.

This workaround is based on what I've been reading in relation to Vega/HBM2 cards and Vulkan that the Linux community has managed to come up with. It seems like the issue is related to CPU ready states and GPU memory bandwidth. I think it something like the CPU clocking down while the GPU is at a higher frequency somehow results in a timeout/disconnect of the GPU driver.

I suspect how drastically different HBM2 is from GDDR6 in terms of speed vs bus width is the key here, as if the game could detect that, it should try to load larger chunks of data at a time with higher tolerances for latency rather than the typical approach of frequent, smaller chunks.

[rich inlet]

Sadly rolling back drivers hasn't done it with me, Still get hit with the

i don't thinkl thats going to be sorted until the dev's take a look

[waxen current]

Why won't my crash logs give me the reason for the crash -_-

[placid zephyr]

I’m on an asus rog ally

Found vulkan im add and remove programmes but don’t want to remove worried it will mess up my comsole

The log dosen’t mean too much to me i’m not sure where i could identify the reason for the crash

If it helps i got an apparent 30gb update and after that it started crashing

[keen quiver]

The log is missing that part. It's just information.
The update wasn't 30GB, steam might just made it look like one.

Does it crash when starting? If so, try updating your drivers. Not sure how to do that on an ROG.

Otherwise try the usual like reinstalling or verifying game files.
There are some registry hacks you can do for Vulkan.
You can also try updating it.
Removing all Vulkan SDKs in windows might help too.

[keen quiver]

Most likely won't. If any other games won't work after you do that, you can easily reinstall them.

[placid zephyr]

Yeah dosen’t start at all just breaks on the steam page, tried all the above hopefully the devs will patch

[full oasis]

I’ve had that error twice today. On main menu and when in game

[full oasis]

I’ve just verified the integrity of files so I’ll see if that’s fixed it.

[tame smelt]

i keep have it too i need help

[tall cargo]

wow it actually happened to me!!!!

[sand orbit]

This was a few days ago but still relevant

what is this referring to?
" [graphics] Vulkan breadcrumbs disabled (enable them using the --enable-gpu-breadcrumbs command line argument) "

[outer hearth]

I tried to reinstall and it works fine for almost an hour... then again...

😭

[full oasis]

The verifying on integrity files didn’t seem to fix it as well

[opal yarrow]

After the latest patch (where some files were moved) i got this "minidump issue" popping up too, just after a few secs of starting the game.

[tame smelt]

me too

[languid furnace]

I'm not sure if this is command line based on in game or if you could try using this in the enshrouded launch options in steam 🤷. Just a thought

[languid furnace]

Your log says your video card is out of memory and can't load FSR 2. Not sure if you were able to play at any point or not. If so I would try and disable FSR 2 in game if you can and if not I would try through .json. I don't think you have enough VRAM on a 1030

[tame smelt]

ok

[hazy smelt]

Also get every time MiniDump Crashes all the time...tried everything to fix that....someone hopefully could help me to get the game running....

[boreal ginkgo]

Any word from the devs on when we might get a patch handling this?

[boreal ginkgo]

Which drivers did you roll back to?

[rough copper]

546 driver help alot for me🙏work well i didnt crash for 30min but if i build a house it crash ! i build chest to store my thing and when i come back to base it crash! so is really something with the base that cause it

[edgy grotto]

I did a refund hope there will be a com once all this issue are fixed, will buy the game again

[tacit crest]

I hope developers will receive all these logs (window asking if it can be sent)
It is obvious that this is a bug and needs to be fixed. I played for a week without a single crash, and for the past 3 days the game has been completely unplayable, crashing after a few minutes.

[sand orbit]

are the Devs even looking into this vulkan issue?

[neat forge]

woops

wrong spot

[full oasis]

im getting really sick of this i cant even lie

i have done all the 'fixes' and none of them work

the 60 fps worked for a bit and has now stopped working

dont understand why we are being made to wait 6+ days for a patch for a bug that completely stops people from playing the game

[pulsar rune]

that's my biggest worry

[cosmic latch]

Aaah thanks for your response mate! I will try that and see what happens!

[desert rapids]

Also getting this issue. I've tried to open a ticket to support but didnt get any response. here's the log

[outer hearth]

I agree, could be nice to have some communication about this issue

[celest orbit]

same as others, my issues only happened after the last updates , prior to that i had zero issues, now i cant even play for 5 min before a crash, i tried multiple things to get around, but no luck.

[languid furnace]

Who hurt you? You understand how EA games work? You do know how troubleshooting works correct? You have to narrow down solutions from a vast array of hardware components interacting with each other. What works for one person will not work for another. When people get feedback on what works and what doesn't, this helps build a library to bring the issue down to one solid fault. No one asked you to take advice from anyone. The developers do what they can but they are a limited number. Community of people with combined troubleshooting over years playing games. The developers cannot issue a fix unless they can narrow down the issue, community help not only helps them work on the issues with new information but frees up their time to work on implementation of known issues fixes. Please do not talk down to anyone because you are frustrated.

Edit: I will not engage with you past this comment. Enjoy your day and I hope you figure out your own issues.

[elfin spire]

gtx 2060 super crashing as well in base

[rough copper]

i try to watch my gforce performance overlay , and i was at 72 percent and it crash

[foggy cave]

i replicated this after doing a task 5 times and each time at a certain point it would crash.. Planted like 1000 twig bushes, no problems planting or walking through them but once i begin to harvest them at a certain point i crash repeatedly ... hope this helps..

[outer hearth]

yeah I notice something similar. I create a second base with only one bed and chest. If I go back there after farming to leave in chest it's ok. But as soon as I go back to my main base where I plant a lot of fruits, plants and tree the GPU is going crazy and the game crash. Maybe to many objects to load? I'm not a specialist at all, just a feeling.

[full oasis]

Update to my issue: downloading the latest version of vulkan seemed to fixed mine that a user in the discord server linked.

[marsh halo]

can you share the link please?

[full oasis]

I believe this is the right one: https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/latest/windows/vulkan-runtime.exe

[pure ibex]

Tried that still crashes. One thing that works for me is uninstall then reinstall it let me play but as soon as you close game it will crash report again. So you have to uninstall reinstall over.

[boreal ginkgo]

So I found that when I go back into the game immediately it crashes very shortly after I start my save. But if I wait a while, it will take a little bit before it crashes a bit. There must be some kind of leak, anyone have a similar experience or think there could be a solution?

[languid furnace]

I noticed that your vulkan runtime is v .268, you can try to update to the latest runtime which is v .275 and see if that alleviates your issues. Other than that make sure windows and GPU drivers are all up to date.

Start there and we can try some other things if that doesn't work.

[hardy current]

i was able to play by deleting the shadercache. gonna try again later when im free, to see if im still able to.

[hollow salmon]

I was able to play for about 3 hrs bcs my mate harvested all the bushes and trees he planted for wood before i tried to connect.

[magic mica]

Yay here's my log, I've not been able to play the game at all. crahses on open cut scene.

[outer hearth]

yep I did the same. I had some crash during the work but I remove all crops ans tress. I planted hundreds of them lol
Now I can play without any trouble. Until....

[brisk ferry]

hope this what i need topost to get help

anyone know what to do let me know nooby here

ive got it to work beforenow nothing

[vast light]

Well i can see that it crashes with this info "[vulkan] Vulkan Application Info: 'Enshrouded' (version:1)" as the last log line.
You are running Vulkan version 1.3.261, the newest is, 1.3.275.0, updating may help, but it is a good starting point, since ht GPU and your Memory are fine.

For the drivers of the GPU i cant say anything, the log cuts off before, but try the Vulkan driver update.
https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home
Pick your OS, and download the top most "SDK - SDK Installer"

[brisk ferry]

thankyou ill trythat

[vast light]

If that did not work, you can try this steps.

[oak fractal]

Need help. My game usually crashes after 30 minutes - 1 hour. I play with friends on a rented server and every time my inventory is reset.

[bronze dawn]

Quick question if anyone can answer: does anyone still get these crashes if they’re playing on a private server as opposed to public?

[oak fractal]

so far i've only played a lot on a rented server. i haven't had any problems privately. but that's not a guarantee, just my experience

[brisk ferry]

so when i install new video drivers my pc getsall slow and messedup and have to do a system restore to fix it ojoy.

[vast light]

Did you do the DDU part?
And did you download the drivers that the other guy recommended for AMD?
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-23-40-02-03-enshrouded

But it is normal to have to restart the computer after you install a new Driver. (not always needed, but i do i always, when it is a fresh install).

[brisk ferry]

i let the updater pick maybe that was the issue.

[vast light]

Can you see what version it is running?

But normaly it should take the nevest
Nevest: Adrenalin Edition 23.40.02.03 for Enshrouded

A user came by and told us about it. (#troubleshooting message)
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-23-40-02-03-enshrouded

[brisk ferry]

I couldn't load anything once I restarted. only access I had was my files couldn't even restart the pc without pushing the power button. The first time it updated all my drivers , so the second time I just updated video drivers and had the same effect.

first time had this issue lol normally easy peasy

[vast light]

Hmm, what about the chipset drivers, ever updated those?

[brisk ferry]

only thing I can think of is I'm too low on space going delete a few games

[brisk ferry]

did it all the first time

[vast light]

This should be for you.
AMD Ryzen 3 5300G with Radeon Graphics
https://www.amd.com/en/support/apu/amd-ryzen-processors/amd-ryzen-3-5000-g-series-desktop-processors-radeon-graphics/amd

Wait, is it a Laptop or Desktop, for me the log looks like a Desktop,
Or is it the motherboard that got the onboard GPU ?

[oak fractal]

I have now installed the latest VulkanSDK. And it only got worse. Now I have a crash every 10 minutes. x.x

last log

[vast light]

Vulkan is also the last resort, the drivers should have a compatible version with them.
i see you are on g-portal, have you by chance tried a private game?
"Clubhaus by g-portal.com"

[oak fractal]

not much. for the release maybe 1 2 hours. but 50+ hours on the rented server. the crashes only came after the latest hotfix.

[vast light]

can you try this, want to see something.
Right click on Start menu.
Find Device Manager, and click it.
See what may be hiding under Display adaptors.

[vast light]

And you wrote it got worse after the vulkan install.
Sorta thinking remove it again, but how that will effect the game play than, errm, not (but do not think so) that the NVIDIA version also gets removed.

Can you try to reset all the settings for the game?
Rename: enshrouded_local.json
In folder: \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Enshrouded

And than not run DLSS if you were, or just leave the settings file be, but than try lower the settings, the antiAliasing settings to off.

[oak fractal]

i just mean. spent a short time in single player at release. then rented a server with friends. and the first week everything went without problems. only since this week i and other friends with amd processors, (no idea if there might be a connection) have problems with crashes.

[oak fractal]

yeah, i will try.

[vast light]

The nevest NVIDIA had some "fixes" for Enshrouded, but not every fix and what not, ends up working for every one.
But just try to set the settings down a bit, and remove off with the DLSS.

Just have to try something, sorry 🙂

[oak fractal]

Yeah i try. There is nothing to apologize for. I am grateful for any help.

[oak fractal]

crash after 1 min. on the server. 😅

[vast light]

I do notice you have 3 screens, and the RTX 2070 is not the most powerful, so throw that onto a Early Access game, may be to stretch it 😄
The graphic has not bee optimised yet i bet, so they probably takes up more Vram... and running 2 other screens, not knowing what you have on them, running 5 tabs with YT... also drains... and the minimum vram is 6 gb (but think it can run on less, some have said they got it to run on 4, but just thinking they were in here because of problems 😄 ).

So lets say 6 gb vram is used for the game, that do not give much leg room for anything else.
Can you just try close what ever is not needed, some may use vram some not, but i have no clue what you are using, there for close what is not needed 🙂

And no you were not even in the game for 1 min i can see 😦

[oak fractal]

hmm. I only have dicord and ts on when gaming. but every now and then 1 2 taps in chrome browser. otherwise i don't really use the 2 other screens. but the vram running full could be a good point.

[oak fractal]

if i remember correctly, only crashes in our base, which is already quite large with 10 people.

[vast light]

You could run OCCT on one of the other screens, it let you monitor the computer, like how hot, how much ram, vram, voltate...
https://www.ocbase.com/download)

It can show in graphs, so if you are not looking the sec it happens, you can still see on the graph.

[oak fractal]

had closed everything now. except for discord. watched graphics card on 2nd monitor. dedicated GPU memory was continuously occupied with 4,6 GB out of 8GB. and still it crashe.

[devout shuttle]

just dont update the driver

i updated to the newest before playing and it crashed, now i returned to the old driver it doesnt crash anymore

[oak fractal]

u mean version 551.23 ?

[vast light]

More like 546.65, some have had better luck with that than the new one, that actually should be better for Enshrouded 😄

Not that i mind, im old so i hope old still is good enough for some 😄

[oak fractal]

I shouldn't have said anything... crash. 😒

[vast light]

Well how long did you get to play before?

[oak fractal]

70 h. without problems. but this week. sometimes i can play for 1 or 2 hours without crashing. sometimes it crashes after 5 minutes

[magic mica]

Posting again.

[steel parrot]

These suggestions work. I ran the game for 50 hours plus with only one unrelated crash. Since your update earlier this week (Hotfix #7) the problems started. I managed to get some playtime in last night, but it crashes usually when I am in my base. It crashed just now navigating the map.

• It is not a driver issue
• It is not a Vulkan version issue
• I have verified my files and can't see how reinstalling will fix anything as no files are missing or opportunity for registry settings to be broken

Something changed in the latest patch and THAT is what is causing this. I would at this point gladly roll back to a version of the game prior to Hotfix #7. This is really ruining the experience for me as ALL my other games and sims run perfectly fine. Around 55.4 hours in and the game won't reliably run anymore.

[haughty plume]

[E 00:01:41,208] [graphics] Vulkan device lost...
[E 00:01:41,208] Stopping process due to unrecoverable GPU crash!

It's related to the GPU drivers, Vulkan, And the game its self. AMD actually put out a driver helping for this game as of yesterday, but for Nvidia No idea yet.

It does have a known memory leak, thats part of the problem. Cards with lesser Vram will get the jist of this issue the longer you play.

The only thing thats helped this is clearing Nvidia shader cache for some and restarting to play longer.

[cursive nacelle]

Same for me, started coming after Hotfix 7. Ran without crashes until then for 30hours. All drivers updated, marked ingame for performance, reinstalled machine (windows), reinstalled drivers, added Vulkan SDK...

Today atleast its just the game that crashes, before my whole computer froze and crash 😦 Computer meet specs, 3080 card. Can sometimes play 5 min, but often its less...never longer

[steel parrot]

My experience is that it has nothing to do with how long one plays. I have had mine crash 2 minutes in while fiddling in my camp. I managed an almost 2 hour session today without any crashes, and I did a LOT of exploring, base building, farming etc, and managed to exit the game without issues. Just now experienced another crash after fast travelling to my base for my umpteenth time this session.

I have 8GB of VRAM and this should not be a problem.

The ONLY thing that has changed in the past week has been Hotfix 7. Drivers have remained the same. It is only logical that Hotfix 7 introduced something that is randomly triggering this. Until the devs come out and state what is happening, acknowledge the issue and fixing it, nothing is going to change.

Unless there was a driver issue that was exposed by changes introduced in Hotfix 7, it is hard to believe this is suddenly a driver issue to blame when everything was fine before.

[haughty plume]

Long term play = cache issues

Throw in vulkan stability on older gpus, yeah.

[steel parrot]

I play various Vulkan games that are very taxing on hardware, and I never have any gpu crashes in those. I am sorry, I am not buying the stability on older gpu's comment.

[cursive nacelle]

agree

[celest orbit]

yeah i agree i played this game before the update with no issues and i was hosting , i have a 1080 . i was able to get 50 hrs in no problem since the last update i cant even get 5 min in

[crude root]

lmao don't suppose they'd accept a refund request after 36 hours playtime... losing the drive to even try playing after 7 days unplayable crashing and tedious failed troubleshooting attempts when it really doesn't make sense that it would be an issue on the player's end...

[oak fractal]

i've had the same experience. i've tried what feels like everything. Latest drivers. older drivers. antialiasing on/off, compatibility mode on off. it makes no difference. sometimes i crash after 5 min. sometimes after hours. I wouldn't say that I have an old GPU either.
When I look in my crash dump folder. I had the first crash on 2024.01.31. And that is hotfix#7 patch day.
Before that I played 70 hours + without problems.

[ivory siren]

6 days no communication or updates on the issue from devs who worked on other stuff as game has never even started before crashing on my machine.

Refunded. On one hand I'm sad I didn't get to play. On the other they seem to be balancing all their different tasks and making the game as good as they can for their viral success.

I'll plan on checking in every week or two. Once there's some movement on the issue I'd love to give them my money again.

[wet lily]

Guys

try remove all the plant in your base

no more crash since I did it

[sage geyser]

Good morning guys, i have minidump crash and I cant fix it. I attach the logs if anyone can help. I try with the new drivers and the old verision of 17/Jan, but it was even worst.

[wet lily]

same for all my friends, we are 5 playing on a serv

we had always crash at main base

since we removed all the plants

no ones got crash

[oak fractal]

i'll give it a try. i'll let you know. I play on a server with 10 players who also have similar problems since the hotfix.

[wet lily]

Its the only things we change, it seems like a fix for us

[oak fractal]

it's quite possible. the plants are sometimes placed strangely after all the crashes anyway. one inside the other etc. and our plantation is quite large where many plants grow inside each other at once.

[wet lily]

Yeah exactly !!!

I saw the exact same things

since we removed them, and didnt put others in the plantation

no more crashes

I think for the plants, we gonna create another base somewhere just for them

no more plants at main

[oak fractal]

That will take a while. 3 plants removed. crash... I am still alone on the server lol

[sage geyser]

same haha

[cosmic latch]

Soooo I used DDU to remove the drivers and reinstalled the driver.. not sure what Volkan is but I will try it now as the game still crashed after installing the new drivers, stupid question.. where do I get the Volkan drivers? 😅 @vast light

[coral gulch]

i have the same problem, too much plants / bushes are crashing clients. but they respawn EVERY single server restart. (>500 bushes)

or ist just picking them up not enough?

[oak fractal]

i have the same on the server. the bushes that bring branches and fibers are back after restart. and then overlap with the new plantation. i'm trying to find a solution. same with the old flax plantation btw

i removed all plants and made a backup of the server. after retsart all plants are still there again and overlap.

[languid furnace]

Have you ruled out a corrupted save file? You can always start a new character, start a new world, or use old character on New world and see if issues still persists.

Granted I see a lot of issues happening after the last patch and I'm not sure if something updated broke something in players worlds

A lot of people mention crashing near their base or certain areas

[languid furnace]

Hey, I see that your vulkan. Is v .255 you very well may want to update to the latest runtime which is v .275 and try to see if your game no longer has an issue.

[oak fractal]

yeah i troubleshoot with older GPU drivers. but now im on the right one?

[languid furnace]

Now it says v .268 the latest is v .275 you are welcome to update it if you like, but I Believe you have found the issue to be the plants if I'm not mistaken.

[oak fractal]

u mean vulkan api version right?

[languid furnace]

Corr ct

Also,I see you have 3 monitors. You can try running with just 1 monitor initiated and see if the issue alleviates. More monitor = more VRAM used

[oak fractal]

just install the latest vulkanSDK? i tried that yesterday and it got worse in some cases.
the thing with the plants on the server is only a trace so far, but not a 100% fix. i still need time for that.

[languid furnace]

https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home

Download the runtime installer v .275

[oak fractal]

I did the same yesterday. and monitored my vram at the same time. the vram wasn't even half full before the crash.

[languid furnace]

This has helped some people

[oak fractal]

and yes, i have nothing else open except the game and discord xD

now witrh 275. 1 min playtime.

[languid furnace]

Ok, so we can run ddu and reinstall your Nvidia driver and that should bring your vulkan back to the v .268

How long does your normal game times last before crashes? 30 minutes?

[languid furnace]

Only other thing I could suggest is I see you have a 3800x. You can download ryzen master and try to disable SMT(multithreading) and see if that has any impact. Personally I have a 2700x as was having issues running the game, this was my fix.

[oak fractal]

my experience is always different. sometimes 1 minute, sometimes for hours. 80% of the time it crashes in the base. before the hotfix#7. played for 70 hours without problems. only after the patch on 2024.01.31 did it start. and so far only on the server. but i don't play in singleplayer either. i rent a server for me and my friends. since release.

[languid furnace]

Hmm, I would see if you can run a local private game and see if you still crash. At least try and narrow down what could be happening.

[coral gulch]

Yep my friends with GeForce 1080/2060 also starts frequently crashes after hotfix #7

But i got it solved by removing 500 plant bushes on base

[languid furnace]

There may be a way for you to copy your world file from your server and transfer to your local as well. Remove the plants locally and see if you can get them to stop respawning then upload the world copy back to the server. https://discord.com/channels/1046840540550942720/1195385334310121593 may have an idea on how to do that if you were interested. May perform better on your local machine.

[coral gulch]

That was by plan too, keeping you posted!

[oak fractal]

I have now also removed all the overlapping plants. and so far I've been on the server for almost 30 minutes without a crash. also with volkan v 275

I suspect the problem is due to the old plants planted before hotfix #7. The server updated itself automatically during the night. As a result, a friend removed our entire plantation. but placed new plants on the same soil. After a server restart, however, all of the old plants before the patch reappear and overlap the new plants. and the crashing starts.

[devout folio]

Also have minidump issue. Sometimes out of memory, sometimes just vulkan stops seeing the device. GTX 3080.
I play with friends, as a host (strongest PC) and due to crushes, they stopped playing. For me, game is in a bad spot now, due to bug. Cant enjoy the game, friends quiting and going to palworld. I will wait for a proper fix - every other game I own runs fine.

[desert rapids]

Just downloaded a new patch on steam and now the game works. Don't know anything else that changed.

Edit: nvm, after changing the game's language back to english, the crashes continues 😂

[boreal ginkgo]

Some have said changing the priority in the task manager to “high” as mine is set to “below normal” however I try to set it, and it refuses to go to high it stays at below normal. So I change it in the reg edit like others suggest, still won’t go beyond “below normal” why isn’t the register edit bypassing it? How do I fix this?

[languid furnace]

Have you tried process lasso?

[boreal ginkgo]

No I haven’t was trying to avoid using software

[languid furnace]

Game drops affinity on its own. Might just be overwriting any input you are doing. Process lasso may force it back to high automatically when server tries to downgrade it.

While I understand trying to avoid software, If it doesn't alleviate the problem you can always uninstall it.

[desert rapids]

Ok guys, i might be onto something. When i lauch the game with the controller on, the game instantly crashes. When i've tried launching it without the controller on, the game starts normally. Maybe there's something to do with that?

[boreal ginkgo]

using process lasso... still wants it at below normal?

even with process lasso it cant make it high priority stick, am i doing it wrong? what is going on here

[languid furnace]

Idk to be honest with you.

With some research I have seen others have the same issue

[coral gulch]

@oak fractal Ive tried server savegame on local and remove the plants, after go to main menu and back to local game (solo) they are again.... i gues we have to give up the base /flame altar and move

[coral gulch]

So possible Solution: I harvest/farm all the plants in solo -> to menu, repeat this 3x. now i load the game solo and they are just saplings. i jsut removed the saplings and the game saves this now ! 🙂

[oak fractal]

good to know. I wonder if the server will take care of that too. Normally the server should save this automatically. I just don't know how it's regulated.

[sage geyser]

I´ll try, and see what happens

[coral gulch]

you read my workaround? its working know, since lolading multiple times in solo and cleanup plants

[sage geyser]

having the same problem, it crash now before the game get into the main menu

[languid furnace]

Download DDU and it will uninstall all of your video drivers including vulkan. Install a completely clean installation of your Video drivers. Sometimes there are issues with just upgrading the driver.

[sage geyser]

it looks fine, but the game freezes and restart my pc completely

[languid furnace]

You have verified that your PC does meet all the minimum specs correct.

[sage geyser]

yep my pc is 1 month new, 32 ram, windows 11 and Nvidia 4060

i played 7 h this week normally

[languid furnace]

Is it letting you into game to play at all?

[sage geyser]

yes

3 mins

and crash

[languid furnace]

Have you tried fresh world fresh character?

[sage geyser]

no

could be this cause the crash?

[languid furnace]

Maybe try and see if you can run doing that and we can try and localize the issue

[sage geyser]

okey, let me try this

nope, it crash again when i was creating the new character

but now didnt have the mini dump crash, it just freeze and close the game

[languid furnace]

Ok, post that log. Should have created one.

[sage geyser]

just have this, no crash dump folder is created

could be the memory?

[languid furnace]

Idk
This is right before it closes

Have you tried making a backup of your save files, completely uninstalling enshrouded then reinstall?

[sage geyser]

yes

like 3 times

its annoying

[languid furnace]

It really is isn't it.

Is there anything that you tried that has seemed to help in anyway? What things have you done that makes the issue worse?

[sage geyser]

When i roll back the drivers i cant even enter the main menu. I tried launchin game in -dx11 and -dx12, like an admin, dedicated graps, with DDU, anything but i nothing help anyway. At least now i dont have the minidump crash, just freeze and close the game

[languid furnace]

Sadly this game doesn't support any form of directx, I tried the same thing.

[swift musk]

Hey all, don't know how useful this is to you but I have my crash log(s), I have an RTX 3070 and Ryzen 7 5800X3D and tried to turn down my graphics, this has started after about 30 hours of gameplay and it seems to only crash on the right side of the map, near the entrance to the Pillars of Creation and the Low Meadows Fast Travel (I think it's called something like that). I have the latest NVIDIA Drivers and have tried using previous ones too

[languid furnace]

Do you know what driver version you tried to rollback to?

May have success with 546.33 as some other users have said.

[sage geyser]

Tried with 546.65

Should i uninstall with DDU?

[languid furnace]

I would, it will do a complete wipe

[rough copper]

after a week i run DDU and install 551 ! everythink work for me ! i build a house , teleport , and play in equilibrate setting! finally 😭

[languid furnace]

That's awesome to hear!

[rough copper]

i just install the driver , not the nvidia panel nothing else

[swift musk]

I removed the plants I had at my base and that seems to have fixed it for now :)

[hazy smelt]

@everyone did the rollback on 546.33. FINALLY the crashes stopped and i can start to play the game now....

[languid furnace]

It seems this is a growing trend

[olive yacht]

546.51 doesn't work
It crashes me anyway

[bitter venture]

i verified files updated drivers, restarted uninstalled reinstalled i even clicked my heels a few times. still mini dump crashes no farm or any wild base

[languid furnace]

A lot of people have been finding success reverting to older video drivers.

[bitter venture]

how do i do that currently 551 i cant even open get into my world

[languid furnace]

Go here:https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

Download DDU

Go here:
https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/216928/en-us/

Download Nvidia driver

Run DDU to remove current driver.
Install Nvidia driver after.

[languid furnace]

i assumed you have Nvidia, if not just search for an older AMD driver.

[bitter venture]

seems to be better ive actually made it into the game ill play some n update later but so far so good tyvm!

[bitter venture]

less than 5mins in it crashed mini dump

[languid furnace]

Ok, it still should have dropped a log.

But that's progress.

[bitter venture]

not sure where to go from here tho lol

[languid furnace]

I believe a 4070 user had to revert to a 536 driver

[bitter venture]

3050 here

[languid furnace]

Drop your latest log and let's see if it has an insight

[bitter venture]

[haughty plume]

Sorry but this is a custom engine and not those other games. Things are a bit taxing and handled differently here

[sage geyser]

i still crashing after try with 546.33. lets wait for a patch this week

[ancient grail]

Any progress on the vega based crashes? Put it out of my mind and have been playing on my laptop insteat

[languid furnace]

Huh, it seems to crash during a display change event that seems to try and loop. Have you tried running the game in windowed mode?

[bitter venture]

Not yet I'll try

[bitter venture]

no windowed changes nothing still crashes

[hallow remnant]

I've started getting this crash issue this afternoon when playing on my buddy's multiplayer server. Seems that I can play solo just fine though. I've tried all of the standard fixes, reboot, reload the game, updated drivers, etc. Here is my most recent log file.

[humble rune]

I have the same problem with my plants, I've tried your solution but nothing changed. I removed them around 10 times in solo and tried to back to online game and they're still there 🥲 Guess I'll have to wait for a fix or something

[vast light]

Sorry not been here all day/night, did you figure it out?
But most drivers now a day do NOT need Vulkan drivers, they are already build in, if you havent tried yet, just try with the game as it is, and ONLY install the Vulkan drivers if needed.

[cosmic latch]

I suspect it might be the crops/plants planted.. didn’t crash in my own private game.. only on my dedicated server

[vast light]

Are you still crashing?

[cosmic latch]

Yes! I will get some of my friends to harvest everything at base and check if that helps

[steel parrot]

I fail to see how a corrupted save file is going to make my gpu crash? I did note however that when I reload my save after a crash, this specific patch of tomato plants are generated. This is quite peculiar as I removed this ages ago and the game has been saved many times since. Yet, this patch is still stuck in the save file somewhere.

I would guess that there is definitely a bug in the save file system, and it is not impossible that it might be causing some kind of corruption. I highly doubt that this is the cause of the gpu crash bug issue.

As to starting a new game; I play solo and I am 60 hours in. I am not keen on doing another playthrough anytime soon. How does one use an old character in a new world? Does that reset all the quests etc.?

[vast light]

Ok, hope it helps 🙂

[vast light]

I have not done any replay yet.
But i do know the world (including base...) are linket to the World save, ant NOT the charecter.

So take your charecter into a new world, you can still see all teh exploration, landmarks... but the bases, towers... are all reset, i would than presume the quest also, same with the NPC, since there are no bases.

There for i do think (yep still not knowing this part), that you wont be able to craft any thing that the NPC/quest has not yet unlocked, i do think this alao aply if you were to join another player, you do have all the gear that hte charecter got on... but you would not be able to craft anything that world has yet not unlocked.

But if you are like level 25, you would just mow down anything in the beginning, going in with a ower powered charecter may not bee that fun.

[EDIT] As mentioned World and charecters are seperated, you can start multiple worlds, and join them all with the same charecter, each world has their own save, its pure numbers and letters in the name, but ALL charecters are saved in one and the same file named charecters

---

Regarding the save and the bug, well ESC in game and report the bug, but have you tried to dig up the soil that it is in, and than see what happens?

[steel parrot]

Thanks for the heads up. I don't plan on spending another 60 hours to get back to where I am now, so I don't mind rushing through the low levels again.

BUT -

I am not going to go through this again until the developers have sorted this mess out either.

Thanks for the tip, I will dig it up and see what happens after the next crash.

[vast light]

Are the save on steam cloud or local save?

I have had luck (well other have), when i told them to take the save from Steam cloud and put it local, not sure what the difference is, from the game saving on steam and than local, but some had problem with the save, and once it got onto the local machine it stopped.

Reason errm yeah well du not know.

But if you save on Steam Cloud, it was worth a try.

And another good reason to do local save, you can make backup of the save regulair, and if something go bad, you can go back to that save, steam cloud has 1 save, NO backup.

Local do have 1 backup, but that is a "joke" sorry to the devs, but it is. When the game saves so ofthan, every several minutes, that one backup may already be bad once you realise something went wrong.

[coral gulch]

Ive had the issue with my worldsave on my own dedicated server, every restart the plants are back (>500), i throw it on local, harvest them 3x solo, 1x as saplings and they gone and move the savegame back to my server. i had opened already a support ticket for the resulting gpu crashes my two friends had, i had none crashes (AMD). Seems to just overwrite local multiple times fixed it for now. the buggy plants have been planted before hotfix #7. the buggy plants where like 7x in the same place, thats caused GPU crash it seems.

this is saved in the world savegame. i running powershellGSM to backup server min. 1x/daily. you can also backup the steam cloud save, its just another save location in steam\userdata\profileid\1203620\remote

[coral gulch]

another solution, build a second base and abandon the first one to reset the chunk [and build it new)

[languid furnace]

Loading a new character new world is more or less just being used to narrow down if the issue only persists in your current world or if it is a global issue for you.

If you have current character+current world=crash, new character+current world=crash, old character+new world=no crash or new character+new world=crash, it is more or less just to try and narrow down if it is something in your world save causing the issue or if it a global issue across your computer.

Simple process of elimination. Is it a game issue, save issue, or GPU driver issue? You don't have to stay in the new world, just a trouble shooting process.

Also, if vulkan runs into an error. Like say a bad loop, vulkan ITSELF will crash the GPU driver.

[oak fractal]

For everyone who has had problems on their server savegame since Hotfix #7. With overlapping plants that come back after every restart and cause the crashes. Here's what I did to get rid of the random crashes in the base. I can play normally on the server again without having to worry about crashing after minutes or hours.

First step: Make backups of your save games!
Time step: Turn off Steam cloud
Third step: Create a new single player world and pay attention to how the save game was named in "C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\Enshrouded".
4th step: Replace this new single player world with your server savegame and rename it exactly the new single player savegame name!
5th step: now go to the newly created world. You should now have the world you earned on the server in single player! Where all the plants are no longer fully grown, but only seedlings. Now remove all plants that you have planned in the flame radius. and by all I mean ALL! If the plants are not seedlings but are fully grown, remove them anyway, close the game and repeat the process until only seedlings appear.
6th step. Once all plants have been removed, the game goes out so that the save game is saved without plants.
7th step. Load this save game back onto your server using an FTP client.

Your server savegame should now be rid of all buggy plants and you should be rid of this source of errors. At least now me and my friends from the server can play again without crashes. I hope it works exactly that way for you!

[cursive nacelle]

All good and thanks for this write up. I still think it’s weird as some are playing in our world perfectly fine and I constantly crash

[oak fractal]

Upload here your newest Crash dump log. pls

[boreal ginkgo]

so this game still will crash for me, but it is substantually more stable getting the priority to "high" in task manager, as its "below normal" I made a change in the regedit, to make it forced to "high". Didnt work for some reason. So i moved on to process lasso, also, didnt work, untill i had it "force" the changes in options to make it high as much as possible. So this worked, with it being a "high" process, my crashing is substantually reduced. I can actually play the game now, BUT its not 100% i still get mini dumps every now and then. Sometimes i feel i have to purge memory with the Intelligen standby cleaner in order to get it more stable. not sure if thats helping or not, but I think it could be. Point is, this worked for me but it seems like this game has some serious problems that could be fixed with a patch. Hopefully the dev team will look into this. Rolling back drivers, and all the other weird things people suggest DID NOT WORK!

[oak fractal]

Don't say things don't work if they do work for people. There is not just one problem, but several with different solutions. You just have to figure out what your problem is and then find the right solution.

No offense, just saying it 🙂

[boreal ginkgo]

the solution is for keen to fix their game!

[tacit crest]

I fixed my case, it was the plants that grew outside base, over the span of server (dedicated) restarting, old picked up plants appeared again and were overlapping existing one. I presume these created a vulkan crash
after I cleared all plants little by little (logging off every one minute to prevent crash). I restarted the server and plants appeared again but in the sapling stage, when I removed sapling they were now gone forever and didn't crash again.

TLDR: Dont plant crops near your base, just use other flame that u can easly remove

[humble rune]

I have the same problem and I have an idea but not sure about the result. If I just move my flame to get crops out of the range, it could work to remove them right ?

[tacit crest]

I dont know if plants will disapear if you remove flame or if u remove flam and go out of generated chunk (map is in chunks like in minecraft). You have to test it or someone here can share experience if knows

[humble rune]

Well guess I have to try 😂

[proven relic]

Could play for ~30 H with no crashes, now my game keeps chrashing every 5 - 10 Mins. just at our base (since i planted around ~ 500 bushes etc. around it)...
What to do what do to :/

[coral gulch]

remove the bushes if possible, at me it only was because i was one of three players who dont crashed with this much plants.

[wet geyser]

Hello... Me and my brother we bouth have the same problem when we geting close to a castle or a tower we get crash

[sage geyser]

hello, i reset my windows and install all drivers and still crashing the mini dump. Attached logs, maybe someone see something im missing. ty

[dense hedge]

Ive been crashing since the game launched, my longest session was about 2 hours and the rest i havent gotten to play for over 20 minutes. Ive installed all drivers, done all the tutorials to fix it and nothing works. if anyone can help please, these are my logs of my most recent crash.

[maiden turtle]

yeah that seems to be the problem. I reinstalled the old driver and its running smooth. no crashes in 30 minutes

able to teleport to bases with ease

[languid furnace]

Glad to hear it

[maiden turtle]

many thanks

[solar path]

I need help

Mini Dump crash

[devout folio]

I got my minidump crash resolved. No longer crashing, after 6h of play in duo. I have 3080..

I did what Sigma Raider proposed:

1. used ddu to remove all drivers
2. installed nvidia 546.33
3. installed newest vulkan sdk. Then installed vulkan rt.

works.

[languid furnace]

Keep in mind that reverting your driver should be used once all other options are exhausted. Follow pinned messages in #troubleshooting first.

[keen quiver]

It will crash every now and then still. But that’s probably fixed somewhen.

[proven relic]

Vulkan problem here too, apparently my GPU runs out of memory (gtx 1070) and the game crashes...
Gonna try low graphics + window mode until it's fixed

[coral gulch]

good idea, i have 16GB VRAM, but my friends crashed with 1080/2060 with i think 8GB/6GB RAM., didnt think about that.

[short lance]

yeah didnt have single crash till i planted about 700 shrubs 250 beats 150 strawberries and about 500 flax it would crash constantly could log in and just stan there but would crash again and again so i managed to harvest everything after while of logging back in and havnt had a crash since

[placid zephyr]

Game dosen't even start for me lmao instant maildump from starting steam

[pulsar rune]

I sent them an email today

hopefully I get a response on an ETA on the fix for this issue... haven't been able to play at all despite all the community workarounds

[languid furnace]

@placid zephyr @pulsar rune Do you have dump logs you can post?#troubleshooting message

[placid zephyr]

Yeah uploaded a couple but no ones came back to me

[wanton coyote]

so had the mini dump crash for a few days, had a buddy completely remove garden at main house and i have been playing for a few hrs no and no crashes. i recommend trying this if you have a large garden at main base

[winged ingot]

I have also been having these mini dump issues caused by Vulkan since the hotfix.

The main problem is that the crash is so inconsistent. It's GOING to happen, but when and why are completely unknown. Sometimes it happens when hitting start, sometimes it happens when opening the map, sometimes it happens when idling and sometimes it happens 2 hours into a run across the continent. The only thing that seems to give a guaranteed crash ASAP is FSR 2.0 which makes no sense to me.

Troubleshooting steps taken:

1. Verify integrity of files.
2. Uninstall and reinstall game.
3. Reboot into safe mode and use DDU to clean out my GPU drivers, then reboot and install drivers over again. (I did try older confirmed stable drivers AND new drivers both with and without the AMD software suite installed)
4. Upgraded to Win 11 because the crashes would be terrible hangs that would NOT recover on Win 10.
5. New world, same issue.
6. New character, same issue.
7. New character AND world, same issue.
8. Joined multiplayer server, same issue.
9. Played game on lowest and highest settings with NO change.
10. Reseated my GPU, just in case.
11. Went from dual monitor to single monitor.
12. Tried all video-out ports on GPU.

My hardware should also be fine for running this game at 2k. My GPU and CPU are /not/ overclocked and are all stock. Also my temps do not get above 70ish at any time, even during insane loads.

CPU: Ryzen 5700x
GPU: MSI GTC 7900XTX (24GB GDDR6)
PSU: Corsair RM1000x
RAM: Patriot Viper Gaming (64GB DDR4 in dual channel)
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus (1TB NVME)

I'll attach the last minidump, but I have about 20 of them if anyone wants to take a gander. Hopefully my info here will be of use to the dev team as I really love this game so far and would love to be able to play it.

EDIT
I have also attempted installing the newest Vulkan to no effect.

[winged ingot]

I wish it were that easy. I don't think this fix will help everyone, especially if it is still prevalent on new worlds/characters. 😦

[steel parrot]

Here is what solved the gpu crashing issue for me. There were two driver releases by NVidia in January 2024. The second (latest) one has some issues, and not only in Enshrouded. It has been causing issues in War Thunder as well where there was texture and terrain geometry deformations, but Giajin somehow released a patch yesterday that fixes that. So although the latest NVidia patch is rough, it seems that some developers have been able to avoid the issue in their software.

I rolled back to the earlier January driver and have not experienced a single crash in Enshrouded since. I put in at least 3 hours without any hiccups.

Just for the record, this is NVidia Driver 31.0.15.4665.

[oak field]

Like a lot of others here, I'm getting these Minidump errors. Happens when I load up the main menu of the game. Error appears to be "Vulkan Device lost"

[steel parrot]

Check my post here, right before yours. If you are running the latest NVidia driver there is a good chance this is your culprit.

[keen quiver]

1070ti here, sometimes crashes for me but I had 6+ hours without any crashes.

[oak field]

I already tried rolling back my drivers, didn't help

[wheat veldt]

same issue here, crashing when approaching the first tower minidump too, patch 1 didn't fixed it

[languid furnace]

Have you tried the standard run through? And are still having issues?

Common troubleshooting steps:

• verify game files via Steam
• Clear NVIDIA shader cache (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3155144200)
• Clear/Delete Steam shader cache for Enshrouded (...\Steam\steamapps\shadercache\1203620)
• rename "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Enshrouded\enshrouded_local.json" (will reset ingame settings)
• update local Vulkan runtime (https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.3.275.0/windows/VulkanRT-1.3.275.0-Installer.exe)
• clean reinstall GPU driver (with DDU! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7KfnZ2wSog)

[oak field]

I haven't tried a couple of those, I'll give 'em a shot later. Thanks!

[pulsar rune]

Has anyone tried the game after Patch #1? Did it fix the issue?

[outer moth]

i've tried everything, it doesn't work. the game keeps crashing.

[languid furnace]

Please note that currently there is an issue with large farms and plants causing the game to crash. Please keep planting and farms to a minimum and see if this helps with performance. If you feel this is NOT your issue, please drop a dump file in regards to your latest crash here.

[outer moth]

thank you @languid furnace - the problem occurred after the update, the data was moved

[languid furnace]

Is the game crashing and giving you a dialog box saying "the data was moved"?

[outer moth]

when i started steam today at noon, there was obviously an update, i only saw that the data was being moved, but this was canceled again and again and had to click on "continue". after a while i could click on "play" and the game starts and ends directly again. then the error message appears.

game startet -> enshrouded processing 4XX/3XXX -> game closes and I get this error message

[languid furnace]

Ok, let's run through the standard check list and see if you are able to run. Please follow instructions in this link #1201276790459604992 message

If this does not solve the problem, try to uninstall and reinstall the game.

[outer moth]

i have already gone through the check list. thank you. i will try a new installation 🥺

[hallow remnant]

New Installation has not helped me. My game runs fine as a Solo, or Hosted game. It only crashes on servers.

[outer moth]

that's very strange. but i don't even get that far, because my game stops almost immediately

[languid furnace]

Can you drop a log please

[outer moth]

i first had my game data checked by steam, now it "moves the data again" maybe it will work right away

[languid furnace]

If you are getting errors during this process try and run steam as an administrator

[outer moth]

Okay I had a bluescreen?

[languid furnace]

When did the bluscreen occur

[outer moth]

Occurred with steam Move data

[undone olive]

@drowsy flower @pallid pecan Thread for discussion on the VULKAN issues

[languid furnace]

Hopefully just an unfortunate random bluescreen. Please see if steam continues to try and update the game.

@undone olive I know you are busy and especially with the new update. If you would be able to give me an insight into server=out of memory errors in logs, when system meet more than requirements it would be appreciated.

In your own time

Seen in private games

[undone olive]

Spitballing here from the top of my head, but are there large plantations in the server?

[languid furnace]

Negative

[undone olive]

Do you have access to the server logs? I can DM you to get them

[languid furnace]

I have personal logs as well with the issue, when I have time this evening I can always send them to you.

[undone olive]

Please do, send me over all you can

[languid furnace]

I stopped mine by disabling SMT👀

[odd egret]

Hello, My game crashes repeatedly with this error message. do you know where the problem comes from?

[visual finch]

i have the same problem.

Bought and installed via Steam today

[regal plume]

Crashes reliably when within my base.

[full oasis]

has the patch fixed the issue for anybody

[regal plume]

No, it only started for me once the patch was installed

[visual finch]

and know? what can i do? download your log? i have no idea 😄

[odd egret]

Just wait another patch ^^

[tender tide]

Issue started for me after todays patch (never had any crash before).
Sometimes it crashes after a few seconds, sometimes I can play for an hour straight.
Once it crashed on teleport, once I wasn't even able to walk for 5 meters.
Crashes below.

[wet fern]

i had a huge crash just now

PC froze, and I have a 5950x Ryzen 9 16 core processor and 3080TI with 32 gigs ddr4 ram

The first crash I had a few weeks ago was smooth, game crashed, closed out, and PC ran fine. this one was so bad was worried GPU died and it wasn't the game.

here are both crashes, apparently the first one was saved too

i hope this helps solve the issue, also someone let me know if it was the game or if my PC actually did die and caused the game to crash or something lol

not sure if that is possible ^

im paranoid now 😆

are the people having crashes here also have crashes that leave the game running and nearly freeze your pc? so the only thing you can do is hit the power button? or were they smooth crashes?

[warm glade]

restart it and see what happens.

[wet fern]

restarted, is this editing my graphic card driver completely or only for enshrouded

[warm glade]

It's dumping the GPU cache and pulling new drivers.

and dropping the shader cache.

It would impact the whole thing, not just Enshrouded.

HOPEFULLY in a positive way.

[wet fern]

i was also getting bad lag spikes on my server, i wonder if thats related to the crashes

or if thats just a diff symptom of bad internet cause i do have bad internet

[visual finch]

so... i have do everything. i deinstalled and install new, i have startet new the pc. it do not running. every time the same Error. the exe was chrashed. it is not funny realy

[wet fern]

it switched my resolution back to

i was using 1080, lower res cause i was worried too much data being sent to internet with higher res lol

[visual finch]

It's so annoying. You pay 30 euros and then something like that and no one seems to be able to help you. I'm going to get my money back now. Sorry but unacceptable the whole thing

[languid furnace]

Hey, you are running under minimum requirements when it comes to your video card. You have a 570 4GB VRAM when the minimum has been stated as 6GB of VRAM. Some have been able to have the game on 4GB, but those have been select cases and stability is an issue.

[visual finch]

VRAM 8GB i have. 2 more that i need. what is the Problem?

[wet fern]

video card ram is 8 gigs for you? what is your video card?

[languid furnace]

If you have the 8GB version I am mistaken. It also comes in 4.

[visual finch]

its german.

sorry 😄

[inner marsh]

This MiniDump thing only happens at my main "base". Is it because of my plant farms? items stored etc? as long as I don't visit it game runs like it should 😄

other mini "bases" don't cause this issue, but they are much smaller and no "vegetation" farms

[languid furnace]

I see that you have a very outdated version of vulkan, but do you have a motherboard with onboard video adapter by chance?

It is not able to find a device that supports vulkan.

[visual finch]

ok thanks for try to help, but i think i get back my money and updated the pc with better stuff.... i have no idea. it is actually realy annoying

[languid furnace]

Very good possibility, reduce vegetation and see if issue persists

[languid furnace]

Common troubleshooting steps:

Please try game after each step

• verify game files via Steam
• Clear NVIDIA shader cache (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3155144200)
• Clear/Delete Steam shader cache for Enshrouded (...\Steam\steamapps\shadercache\1203620)
• rename "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Enshrouded\enshrouded_local.json" (will reset ingame settings)
• update local Vulkan runtime (https://sdk.lunarg.com/sdk/download/1.3.275.0/windows/VulkanRT-1.3.275.0-Installer.exe)
• clean reinstall GPU driver (with DDU! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7KfnZ2wSog)

I suspect that clearing your steam cache may solve

[wet fern]

my crash happened at my base too, while sorting items in a chest

but not immediately, maybe after 20 min of doing that

just sorting the same items in 4 chests, equipment items, in none magical chests

[inner marsh]

for me it takes about 5-10 mins until I get an error

I did the same thing actually 😄

was autosorting and auto dumping items to the magick boxes

[languid furnace]

Have you verified integrity and cleared you steam shader cache?

[wet fern]

i ran the github president posted

[languid furnace]

Fix you issues?

[wet fern]

i think it does the shader cache and checks your system and vulkan

[wet fern]

well no crash yet, i wasn't crashing consistently to begin with, unless today was the start of consistent crashes, but i already ran the github tool

and it cleared shader cache

[languid furnace]

Right on, that automatically did was I was asking you to do

Could you point me to that by chance so I can help out others

[wet fern]

yeah just be sure to say its player made etc lol

[languid furnace]

Yes I will add is as an alternative to the common issue solutions

Ty

[wet fern]

np

[tender tide]

done
will report back

[regal plume]

Tried the above as well as using the tool that does it all automatically and getting the same crash still. Appreciate the help though

[languid furnace]

Could you drop your latest log correlated to the latest crash please

[languid furnace]

And this is crashing in a specific place? Correct

[regal plume]

Yeah, seems to crash when in the main base. Haven't had it crash elsewhere so far

[languid furnace]

Have you tried posting in #troubleshooting and let them know you ran the common fixes and you are specifically crashing at your base. Maybe someone will have a better idea of what may be happening. And we have already established you don't have a large farm or to many plants. No more than say 100-200

Also drop latest log for them

[regal plume]

Yeah that's where I first posted and was told to post here. I'm not sure of the exact plant count as there are a few fields of plants, I harvested a bunch to see if it helped. But I don't think that's the issue since my friend doesn't crash playing on the same server.

[languid furnace]

Yes let them know I sent you over there

And if one of them can take a look

[normal nova]

i cant launch the game my GPU R9 390 8GB

[languid furnace]

@normal nova Have you just purchased the game or have you been playing and just recently can no longer run the game?

[normal nova]

I bought it 1 day after release the game and I've been trying to open it for 58 minutes.

Previously it was giving a no compatible graphics device found error
before patch

[normal nova]

I got this error after the patch

[visual finch]

In my case it was actually the latest graphics driver that was not compatible. I had to download and install a specific one. take a look at YouTube. You will be helped there

game is running now! thx @languid furnace ❤️

[languid furnace]

What driver version would be helpful if you could let me know that would be appreciated

[maiden turtle]

is it safe to update the gpu driver after the update? was the minidump bug fixed?

[visual finch]

AMD Adrenalin edition 24.1.1 - WIN10

and over this install a Triber Version from Jan21 😄

[languid furnace]

There is no THE minidump bug. Dump happens for many reasons.

[maiden turtle]

sorry your having a bad day yikes

was just a question

mines working fine without updating

[mellow thistle]

I bought the game almost a week ago and already contacted the support but I did not get any answer. Couldnt start the game since then.

[drifting shale]

The way it is solved for me - and I will add for now - I went into NVIDIA Control Panel -> manage 3D settings -> go to program settings -> select program (Enshrouded) -> select preferred graphics processor (High-performance NVIDIA processor) -> Specify settings (scroll all the way down and select VULKAN/OpenGL present mode and change it to native)...
I do still get the minidump crash when I walk away being logged in for some time but when I go to main screen before I walk away to do something I do not get the crash anymore (so far).

[languid furnace]

Lol not a bad day by any means 🤣

Everyone says the minidump bug. It's not a bug, it is caused by many issues and is the system just letting you know it crashed for some reason generally causing the video driver to fail. I was clarifying that is not just ONE reason.

[drifting shale]

this has been the only thing that has worked for me... Tried everything else suggested to no avail.

[languid furnace]

[odd egret]

I carried out all the steps one by one and everything works again, thank you very much 🎉 😍

[languid furnace]

Glad to have helped

[warm glade]

@languid furnace doesnt this script do exactly that? https://github.com/LiaNdrY/Enshrouded-Tool-Fix

If not, my bad. Just wondering how we can make a proven fix more accessible to folks.

[languid furnace]

Remove the shader cache and update vulkan, yes. There are some issues tied to the video card drivers as well.

#1201276790459604992 message has been pretty much the go to for everything associated with the minidump

[warm glade]

Pinned it for you in here.

[languid furnace]

Ty

[warm glade]

it's mordor out there I cant be in thread all the time so @ me if you need anything

[abstract walrus]

Can't plant anything, but my buddy on the server can. We can both plant in from of the house, but I alone cannot plant behind the base where the farm is located, and then I experienced my first crash after trying to plant some things between the areas in which I can and cannot plant at;

I still cannot plant on the server in the area I need to plant in. (Since the crash and restart.)

[languid furnace]

Are you on a server or a player hosted game?

[abstract walrus]

My buddy can plant (Rear of base) and I cannot:

Me and my buddy can both plant. (Front of base):

[abstract walrus]

Dedicated server, hosted on my machine.

[languid furnace]

Oh interesting

Well it seems you are able to play the game for a good time before you have any issues as far as crashing

[abstract walrus]

What I had planted over time, some have been there for quite a long time, but the ~120 Flax on the left, I planted earlier today;

[abstract walrus]

Right, the question is... Was this crash caused by this issue I'm experiencing?

Involving disappearing assets.

[languid furnace]

There is a known issue with to many crops causing crashing

When I was playing on a dedicated server I had this issue you are describing as well but I summed it up to desync.

This shouldn't be your issue though as you are hosting

[abstract walrus]

Right, though I'm the host, so it'd be strange that I'd be the one experiencing desync.

Right.

[languid furnace]

I can only assume it could be associated with the angle you are planting and potting into the Voxel below.

[mint drum]

I started having the mini dump issue a couple of days ago. it crashed my game with "enshrouded.exe has crashed! a mini dump has been created.........

[languid furnace]

That's is just me speculating

It is suggested to keep plants to a minimum until the devs can work the issue out.

[abstract walrus]

Well that's the strange part, it's anywhere. They vanish no matter where I place them in the rear, and they do not in the front. The terrain has been raked flat, as well.

Well, I could pick all of them, and see if the issue is resolved or not.

[mint drum]

im not sure what it is, been reading everyones poting to see if its just me, but apparently not. I have played the game since its release with no issues, NEVer crashed, then its started happening. think a nivida dirver update maybe?

my rig is: Acer - Predator PH315-52
Operating System Microsoft Windows 11 Home (64-bit)
Memory 32 GB
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz
Motherboard CFL - Covini_CFS
Video Cards NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
Monitors BOE HF NV156FHM-N4K

[languid furnace]

If you wouldn't mind, those that you planted might grow. Could be associated with crops respawning even though they are deleted.

[abstract walrus]

Mhm

[mint drum]

dont think its my ccomputer all of a sudden since it palyed the game fine up until about two days ago. Now i cant get more than 10 mins in the game without this mini dump crash

this sucks, because i love this game and have been playing it everyday since its release

[languid furnace]

I would just monitor it for the time being as far as how many plants you have. If your crashing within an hour or so this is when I would start to be concerned as far as it not being tied to crops.

[mint drum]

it crashed even when i am away from my crops, say at another base I am building. at first it was when i was teleporting to my base, now its just random, no matter what i do

[languid furnace]

[mint drum]

ok will do!

[abstract walrus]

Found an issue...

These flowers overlapped eachother. I had picked all the camomile, and they're somehow there again.

[bitter venture]

my crashing has gotten a little better since i updated windows, but still happens from time to time

[languid furnace]

Yes! This is what I'm talkingabout

Can you please remove a few Voxel layers and re ground to level and see if they grow back?

And report back?

[languid furnace]

I remember you, didn't we get you fixed up?

[abstract walrus]

Okay, so... Took all the plants up, and tried to plant a stalk of corn. Buddy saw it, and watched it vanish.

[languid furnace]

? Have you restarted the server and this issue still happens?

[languid furnace]

It may just be a text file called enshrouded

[languid furnace]

Drop a log please if you can

[mint drum]

this is the latest dump file log

[abstract walrus]

So... I can't plant past this line:

You're saying to re-level the terrain?

[languid furnace]

#1201276790459604992 message do this down until clear steam cache and try to play your game

[languid furnace]

Do you and your friend have two alter boundaries overlapping?

[mint drum]

thanks, I will try this and let you know what happens! Hope it works!

brb

[abstract walrus]

No, but re-leveling the terrain seems to have solved the issue;

[languid furnace]

I feel I wasn't clear. Stop after clearing steam cache

[abstract walrus]

Nope. They disappear again. Lol.

Hmmmm... I think I narrowed it down.

Using "Rake Magic" takes on the properties of the layer below it if thinned out too much.

Ah, nevermind... Same issue on the other side, but the moss looked like grass.

It was still stone.

Hold on... I may be onto something..

[languid furnace]

What ever you start raking on you will transfer while holding down the rake tool

[languid furnace]

Texture wise

Farm soil drop a few blocks and rake it as far as you want it will replace the textures as it goes

[abstract walrus]

The interesting part is that this doesn't happen when it's at the appropriate level.. So... I could do the same exact thing, by lowering the entire area, and then raising UP to the soil level.

I'ma try that now.

Notice anything about the area in which I could plant up to?

[languid furnace]

Color change?

[abstract walrus]

The answer to crops not being able to be planted is due to what lies under the soil when raked down.

In this case, stone, unsuitable planting area.

[languid furnace]

Interesting

I see, that patch of stone you are planting on

[abstract walrus]

My buddy could plant there because I don't think he has the data of what lies beneath, but I on my client in some way could be storing that information of what's under because I was the one who built the fields when he was offline, so his client proceeded as normal.

Though he did have issues yesterday, not sure if it's exactly related, but this entire issue is tied to this soil in particular.

I think the solution would be to lay a base of soil before doing anything involving a farm, raising or lowering.

I wonder if this rake method also negatively impacts the properties of the farm soil in terms of grow times, such as if the soil is to help with grow times, if it is flattened using the rake, that it would take on the default properties of the soil beneath.

[languid furnace]

@warm glade when you have time this may be something interesting as far as crops and issues

[boreal ginkgo]

thought i fixed this with process lasso, game crashes still and all the time. Im giving up

this game is unplayable in this state

[languid furnace]

With the new patch there has been crashing related to shaders. Can you try clearing your steam cache please

[boreal ginkgo]

Its been crashing

not just today

[warm glade]

So I’ve read that but not groking through hypotheses

That soil modification has something to do with mini dumps?

[abstract walrus]

Not exactly, more of a side-tangent.

Though it could be related to a crash, possibly. I can't be sure.

[languid furnace]

Well he is placing plants but they are not planting or showing and disappearing

[abstract walrus]

Since this would be the first time I crashed in my 55 hours of play. Lol...

[languid furnace]

Almost like they are placing under the first Voxel layer

[warm glade]

Hmmmm…..

@regal plume would this be possible for your case as well

[abstract walrus]

Yeah, investigating what lies beneath peoples' farms would be ideal in narrowing down the source of the issue.
Raising the terrain with soil allowed for proper planting, btw
Lowering it back down returned the issue.

[warm glade]

I’m about to add you to a ticket @abstract walrus

Post thoughts and recap there for me

tried it all

[languid furnace]

Ok, when you have a chance if you could drop a log so that I can look at your specs. Your game is crashing randomly or in certain areas?

Game crashes at tower

[oak field]

Deleting my Steam shader cache finally fixed it

[languid furnace]

Hey burdel, clearing shaders has been the resolve for most of these crashes. If you follow this link it is a member written program that will clear your shaders and update you to the latest vulkan API as yours it well outdated. You are welcome to use it or let me know and I can point you to the manual steps to perform these actions.

Update vulkan/clearshaders
https://github.com/LiaNdrY/Enshrouded-Tool-Fix

[wet fern]

why people think it has to do with farms?

[languid furnace]

because some cases do and it has been stated to us from the developers

[wet fern]

i have no farms. just the soil. and i crashed today too. after they updated their game, and i've had the latest drivers all this time.

but maybe the shader cache clear fixed my issue i dunno.

[languid furnace]

some people have been having crops grow back as well which is linked to the crashing. removing said plants has stopped the crashing

[wet fern]

only thing i can tell you about farms is that aloe was never appearing on the ground in the desert or in our farm after we cut the aloe down, it was always invisible, and not even 'e' interaction would appear. but i feel like they fixed that? i think it appears now.

[languid furnace]

havent even gotten far enough into the game for aloe, most of my time has been spend helping yall

[mint drum]

Sooooo, i tried all those steps, still having the min dump issue. there is someting wrong with the game since about 2 days ago....nto sure if it was driver update or what but its NOT my rig, becasue i have played the game since its release. this is some kind of bug the developwers need to fix....ill unistall it, put it on shelf for now.....maybe they fix it, hope so

[wet fern]

yeah i feel its possible that it's something that developed over time too

don't shelve the game for long they will fix it.

[mint drum]

I m goign to try this vulkan updateand see if this fixes it

[languid furnace]

yes with the new patch there have been some issues and alot of them have been tied to clearing your shaders

[mint drum]

i did clear all my shaders, both steam and nivida and its still doing it.....olnly get a few minuets, maybe 10 of gameplay before the mini dump....but will try the vulkan update link thing and see if that fixes it. All i know is up until a day or so ago, the game played great for me for about two weeks :/

[languid furnace]

whats your video card @mint drum

some video cards have also been the issue

[pulsar rune]

So i've been trying to fix this Minidump issue for the last week or so and so far without success. Today I decided to give the old drivers a try and clean installed NVIDIA 546.01 and it apparently fixed my issue.

For reference I have low VRAM GPU and my crashes were almost all related to "GPU crash". Now the game runs at the lowest preset at 25ish FPS (almost unbearable but at least i can launch the game now).

just commenting in case anyone is looking for a possible fix

Edit: None of the previous fixes worked for me (verify game files, clear shader cache...) but it may work for you so give it a before installing old drivers.

I've also set OpenGL/Vulkan config at NVIDIA's control panel as "native"

SigmaRaider also noted that driver ver. 546.33 might be better than 546.01. I'll give it a try later.

[mint drum]

its an older card, but it still gets me past the imperial cruiser down to the ewok planet 🙂

[languid furnace]

ok, also i waould like you to note that some people have found better stability on the 546.33 nvidia driver

[pulsar rune]

will give it a try later

[last condor]

I, too, am getting a MiniDump error... but no where else in the game but inside the Revelwood Spire when trying to beat it. I've attempted twice today and both were a hard crash. I've been playing for many hours before them since today's patch and have no issues anywhere else.

[languid furnace]

i can forward 2 links for you one for DDU to uninstall all video driver components and fresh install the driver

[mint drum]

is that the latest? I had just updated my drivers about a day or two ago, so maybe thats the issue?

[languid furnace]

it could be

[pulsar rune]

546.33 is from early december 2023 if i'm not mistaken

[languid furnace]

yes i have links to these

[wet fern]

yeah drivers from nvidia are 50% garbage fyi

[mint drum]

sure. Also, my rig has 2 1TB SSD drives. I run this game on one of them (my D dirve, also a 1 TB SSD drive

[wet fern]

if you check nvidia driver forums, you can see upvotes and downvotes on different drivers, i even had one driver from them cause bsods, randomly, while just on desktop.

[languid furnace]

@mint drum @pulsar rune h#1201276790459604992 message

[wet fern]

thats why i typically like to stay 1 driver behind latest release

[mint drum]

yea, its not the first time i had problems with NVIDA drivers.....same thing with other games in the past....update comes out, all of of sudden game sucks

[languid furnace]

lol

[mint drum]

im not sure how to roll back nvidia drivers though.

[pulsar rune]

I added more info now just in case

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/

[stone crow]

I haven't crashed before last patch, and it seems to only happen when I get to the area of the base where I've planted a lot of crops - crashing is pretty consistent.

[languid furnace]

#1201276790459604992 message

[wet fern]

this current driver has -16, so it medium bad, good drivers will get +50 etc.

really bad ones will have -150

[languid furnace]

install the first one and run it, then the second is the driver. the first program will delte all the old for you

[mint drum]

yea Ponder, mine dooes seem to happen more when i teleport back to my base where my crops are growing

[stone crow]

the curse of the green thumb

[languid furnace]

remove some crops and see if the issue goes away

recommend 100-150 crops at this time

[stone crow]

i am probably at uhhh at least 3x that. I'll work on it lol

[mint drum]

ok i am on the nvidia site link you sent, so i just look for the NVIDIA driver 546.33? and install it?

[languid furnace]

run this first https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

[warm glade]

Guys I assure you we are looking into this. Keep posting logs and have patience.

[languid furnace]

then this is the direct link to the 546.33 download https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/216928/en-us/

[mint drum]

ok thanks, ill give it a try. cant hurt. I really like this game so will try anything for now lol

[wet fern]

its funny how far back you need to go, we're in 551

[languid furnace]

truth

[wet fern]

551 is no good, every iteration has bsods for certain people: so like 551.23, 551.21 etc.

i had a bsod the other day watching youtube

pretty sure my hardware is fine, i always monitor temps, and case is clean, relatively new pc

[stone crow]

i did some light land clearing and it seems to be alright now 👍

[wet fern]

539.71 looks meh too.

[mint drum]

im downloading the driver now.. Hey, I did notice that my CPU was running hotter than normal with this last nvidia dirver update. hope goin back to the 546.33 will help that

my computer has the "Predator Sense" feature where I can see my CPU temps,, can oveclock my gpu, e.t.c. its nice feature for the Predator Helios gaming laptops 🙂

[languid furnace]

yeah, nvidia has issues with drivers lol

[mint drum]

Ok, so i installed the older NVIDIA driver 546.33 and played the game and had no crashes or mini dumps, sooooooo, for now it seems the issue was the latest crapy NVIDIA driver lol.....go figure......

thanks for all the help everyone!!!!!!

[cobalt scarab]

I'm also playing on a Predator Helios (300) looks like I'm trying this now. Still working for ya?

[mint drum]

So far. I teleported back and forth to my base. It hasn’t crashed yet. But I did also remove all my crops so not sure if that is the “real issue” or it’s the NVIDIA driver. What I do notice is that using the older NVIdiA driver makes my GPU run cooler that it has been with the latest driver that came out a couple days ago….about the same time I started having mini dump crashes 🤔

The Predator Helios is a great gaming laptop though. I bought it because I do a lot of business trips and it can play any modern game out there (i just upgraded my ram and ssd drives (2- 1TB drives and maxed out at 32GB ram

[wet fern]

i told you guys! i said it! nvidia driver usually to blame before ea games 😄 of course the driver sort of works with the game and vice versa and they both put in patches....

[stoic wind]

Is this bug fixed yet

I still click play on steam and instantly get a white screen

[languid furnace]

can you drop a log?

[stoic wind]

I don’t get crash logs

For me the game only says “not responsing”

[languid furnace]

ok , what are your system specs

[stoic wind]

2070 super intell i5-10600kf 16g ram

[wet fern]

is that a laptop

[stoic wind]

No it’s a pc

[wet fern]

processor on the low end of high end cpus, but should be good

6 core though

your problem sounds like gpu anyway

[cobalt scarab]

I was actually able to get into THE GAME (I just lost the game.....) I also travel for a living and I agree, though I still just got the 16gb RAM it still does just fine under load. But yes, removing NVIDIA entirely and installing 546.33 definitely has resolved my issue. I couldn't even start the game before. Bought it and crashed never getting to a loading screen.

Mind you hunting twigs I'm already kinda bored and off to watch Dr Who ........

[languid furnace]

on board video adapter?

hmmm

[stoic wind]

Gpu? Is rtx 2070 super not that good?

[wet fern]

i dunno big doa seems to meet all the requirements, even though the graphic card is from 2019, its 80% better than minimum requirement card, i checked vs my card, my card is 80% better, basically double in every spec but i have a 3080ti

I downloaded the most recent vulkan as I’ve tried to fix this problem before

I also used vulkan run time to see if there was any problems and everything was okay from what I was told

uninstalled and reinstalled?

yeah your processor beats the minimum requirement processor too

your processor still on the high end list... and the min requirement processor is a whole list down on high mid range list
