I already did all, including reverting drivers. As I said, Nvidia posted days ago they recognize the issue and they posted the solution (that nobody can do It because the .exe is protected by that DRM Easy Anti Cheat) so is impossible to change game priority while game is running.
could you please give me a link to that? i must have missed it as i’ve just picked up the game a couple weeks ago.
GeForce 441.20 Game Ready Driver Feedback Thread (Released 11/12/19)
“-Gears 5 may randomly crash -> [Fix] Run the game then go to task manager and right-click on Gears5 process, click on set priority and change it from High to Normal.”
Is a joke because the fix is impossible to do.

thanks man, appreciate it.
in any event, just crashed out again after trying both 436.15 and 436.30, both failed…ofc.
Is a game issue, not driver related. I reduced It only raising SOC Voltage and CPU Core Voltage on my TUF B350M Plus UEFI settings at 1.18 V and 1.35 V, I could play almost non stop during 1 week many hordes and campaign, also putting the min. frame rate to 60 and max. frame rate to 90. If I put the max. frame rate to Unlimited, the game crashes every moment. TC must fix it ASAP, is the only way.

■■■■’s sake…i’m on unlimited…getting 100-130 fps regularly @1440p …
just wondering if the OP(and others) played Gears 4?
that game also had a Nvidia hardlock issue that started in May 2017 and was never fixed. unbelievable for a AAA studio and two games in a row now.

been playing it recently, actually.
finished the campaign solo (no crashes).
been playing through the campaign with a couple of friends (so basically two playthroughs in parallel) and so far i’ve had 3 random crashes to the desktop and one hard crash where my graphics driver died.
i’d say it’s playable, but then again that’s just on my system…given how fucky these 2 games are from one PC to the next…who knows.
then again, GoW 4 is around 3-4 euros these days if you know where to look for it.
Yes I had the same issue with Gears of War 4 and I made a video about It
They only say is our fault. Shameful.
tried 5 drivers, same results. GW502.
Is normal because the game is broken, is not a issue caused by driver directly, the game maybe affects the driver in some way I don’t know, and this proves they must reduce the game priority to Normal, but TC don’t care about It. Nvidia didn’t reply me the last e-mail I sent to them.

Post the complains here in the new hoftix driver thread
I’m literally the only one on Nvidia forums that complains about Gears 5 issues. That’s why I’ll be always ignored and they don’t take care on fix It.
Edit: TC finally update the game with game priority set on Normal by default. Now I’m gonna test it playing with SOC Voltage and CPU Core Voltage to 1.10 V and 1.31 V respectively, or playing with all stock settings on UEFI (I never do Overclock to my GTX 1070).
Edit: After 10 minutes I wrote here and started playing, the game crashed again. I’m tired and pissed off.

same here! as much as i want to love the game but im refunding. i just cant play
I have random crashes before, during or after a loading screen, even after the most recent game update. Is unnaceptable.
Gears 5 is my only game with constant crash when HBCC memory segment is activate, find the error !
I don’t have this because I have Nvidia GTX 1070 card and that feature is on AMD Radeon Vega cards. So the problem is entirely caused by the game (and Nvidia already admited on their forums some months ago)
optimisation, onf the game on both is a joke
@soldiermxdeath I have the windows 10 version (free*) and I would constantly get error gw502 gpu has stopped responding.
I believe I fixed it by enabling “reduced buffering” (under general settings)
and disabling “tiled resources” & “async compute” (under advanced settings)
I just reinstalled the game and I hadn’t gotten the error message yet, but my cpu usage was at 100% at low settings before changing the mentioned options. FPS would cap around 120 (edit: again this was low settings)
After the change, I ran the benchmark several times, on both low and max ultra settings and my cpu would average around 60-70% FPS stable 144 on low settings ~100 on ultra
Will update if I get the error again.
my specs if you are interested
i7-6700k @ 4.4GHz (OC)
GTX 1080 8GB (OC)
DDR4 32GB
OS is on SSD
Gears is on HHD
So many years of GoW4 players reporting PC crashes… Now G5… Nothing changes, i guess…
