Present failed! Error Code: The GPU will not respond to more commands, most likely because of an invalid command passed by the calling application. (0x887A0006)

update your gpu drivers
Do you mind guiding me a bit on this process?
"D3D11 Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060"
you should be able to just install your drivers via nvidia experience
you should have an icon for it on your tray
I have the NVIDIA control panel
Which doesn't appear to include any mention of drivers
try looking for "geforce"
I don't have an application with that name, might need to install it
I have identified this website https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/
NVIDIA GeForce Experience Auto Update Drivers and Optimize Game Settings
ah you can just download it normally
yeah
same
it's that, it should be able to install drivers for you
Strangely this was not an option in the Microsoft store either
hm?
The only NVIDIA related app was the control panel
I'll see what I can do with this and let you know how it goes :)
Reinstalled the OS, keeping files while deleting applications
yep
Apparently I've had the same driver since 2021
yeah that's kinda old 
Looking at roughly 50 minutes of install time, I'll let you know if this fixes the issue
(being honest ive been a bit naughty cause ive had this issue with all of my applications, hence the OS reinstall. ive tried a number of technical support sources and nothing helpful xD this is the first time anything has looked like it might be a solution)

thank god everest error logging is actually detailed, i havnt been able to figure out another way to actually see what the issue is
using a modding engine as a debugging tool
lmao
I am finding what appears to be the same result, after updating the Game Ready Driver through GEFORCE Experience (which I am not sure is connected to GPU, though I do not see another driver listed) and rebooting the PC
have you rebooted?
i promise i can read 
i have no other ideas other than maybe the gpu being bad or something sinister 
i'm sorry
that is entirely possible. needing to replace it?
yeah
i really don't like suggesting that as gpus are pricey
and it's gonna be even worse if it turns out that wasn't even the issue 
lmaooo
is it ok if i list the other symptoms of the issue, to see if you find ideas? this steps away from celeste specifically
doesn't hurt
ive recieved multiple notifications that "Microsoft Windows Operating System has been blocked from accessing Graphics hardware"
the occasional miscolored pixel that appears or disappears depending what applications are open
applications closing correlate to internet disconnection

what the hell
do you have screenshots of those
i had one a while ago, let me find the notification
this has not occured in a decent amount of time, im unsure if it correlated to a specific application
yeah i found that a bit fucked too xD
something fishy's going on
either a very very weird antivirus or some sort of virus
this is incredibly cursed
@golden crest im not asking for your help here, i just think you might appreciate how fucked up this is :)
would a virus outlast an OS reinstall?
no way it would
i kept files, remember
ill run a virus killer, do you recommend anything specific?
ii just use defender but i've heard good things about malwarebytes
so, needs replacing?
i can save for that :) just means in the meantime i cant alt-tab much when modding
maybe
