I used 376.09 with my 970 and didn’t crash a single time in at least a few dozen hours of game play. But it only works on 9xx and non-ti 10xx series.
Yep, I made it a game and a half before crash.
Simply bizarre. You’re right, I don’t recall even crashing 1 time on GoW4 (1080) in 2000+ games.
But my new 1080Ti crashes at least once per session on GoW4. Only started playing 4 again after a long time.
Still have that same 1080 (non-ti), maybe I should swap it out and test it.
I gave in and finally went back to 382.53 for now, for some reason GeForce Experience says 388.13 is installed. It might have done it by default with how it didn’t update to the latest GeForce Experience version right away, it did like 3 or 4 updates to get to it’s latest version.
Either way, I played a good amount of Social and Ranked, no crashes so far. I also noticed with the Gamebar Overlay’s performance window, the GPU was going up to atleast 91% usage, which it never gets anywhere near the 90%s on the newer drivers.
So it seems like something the newer drivers are doing isn’t handling the GPU usage right in Borderless Windowed mode and/or DX12/UWP environment.

I tried 382.53 for the first time and it crashed on me. Went through all the steps using DDU as well so I’m just done honestly. Cant be bothered anymore

would be nice if we could test that theory if only we could test it in fullscreen mode microsoft

I feel you, I wasn’t even gonna downgrade drivers, I only did it because I haven’t played Overwatch in over a month, and that’s the only other big game I was really playing.
Yea, possibly the Steam version will have dedicated fullscreen. I’m not sure TC will even bother though. I can’t help but fear it’ll be as much of a copy-paste job from the Winstore version to the Steam version as possible.
Sorry to be difficult, but do you know of any other working drivers other than 382.53? Ive heard of a couple other but I cant remember what they were and I’m desperate.
Well, like I said, I downgraded to 382.53, but after clicking on Geforce Experience a few times to let it update for Shadowplay, it seems to have secretly upgraded my driver to 388.13.
It has been running fine on that, so try 388.13 for now, and let us know the results.
Oh, I called this hard.
Oh well, 388.18 just hard-froze on me, had to hold reset. I’m not gonna bother reinstalling 382.53, since it’ll probably auto-upgrade again, unless I don’t let GeForce Experience update, so gonna just go back to 431.60.
Ah, this is why my 382.53 crashed on me, because it has also updated to 388.13 without my knowledge.

Someone posted about this issue last August, you can try this out.
or just uninstall geforce experience
Appreciate you man, played 5 hours with no problems for the first time ever.
I didn’t wanna revert at all, definitely not gonna be without Shadowplay.
NP, glad it worked.

A little LTTP on that topic, but… IT’S STILL HAPPENING???
Truly disappointing from The Coalition. Hope the Steam release is win32 so someone competent will fix this with a little file modification.

Tried out the latest Nvidia update 431.70. Crashed twice last night, both times mid game.
1080 Ti and no other programs running in the background. No G-Sync or V-Sync on. FPS capped at 90.
Never used to have this happen with my old 1080 and the same set up (FPS at 90).
Something tells me this is definitely going to still be the case with the full release of G5.

Yea, the only reason for hope is the fact it’s happening pre-release this time, and is a known issue of GOW4. That, along with it going to Steam, and them knowing the potential PC playerbase can shoot through the roof there, it’s gotta be way more of a top priority that’s worth tossing a lot more resources into.
I dunno if that means it’ll be fixed by launch, but seeing that there’s a reference driver that still works, 382.53, it’s definitely something very do-able. I actually reverted again to 382.53, got it to stay there this time, though Shadowplay doesn’t work with it, since it auto-updates to the latest version, which won’t launch until you update the driver.
Update: Dunno that it’s even worth posting at this point, but:
We’ve heard this from The Coalition literally for years now, so it’s hard to be optimistic that it means much toward any results in the near future, but anyhow, this is the most recent it’s been said.

Its given me hope, hopefully they get it sorted cos I’m getting a bit worried about it the closer we get to release.
