I just think its easy to see disk error messages and assume it must relate to something physical - its the sort of thing tech support does when you raise a ticket - they scan ,find a message, and blame that telling you to update your drivers rather than fix their stuff.
Lots of people get a large number of event 51 with this game and no other. This is not the characteristic of a hardware problem but of some issue with the way the game is accessing the xvd at startup.
So i tried the new drivers 440.97 and the game crash with error GW502 after one round of the new deathmatch event. Game was running without this error on driver 436.15
Im really pissed off for pre-order this game as well as GOW 4 back in the day…TC never fixed those damn errors claiming it was Nvidia’s fault… I’m getting tired of uninstalling and test drivers over and over again. sigh…
I also updated to 440.97 and fortunately everything is still OK. So from what I can tell the driver is fine.
Me toooo everytime there’s a new driver I install to see if this issue is fix nope then I have to revert back to the old ones is so annoying cus most games want the new drivers but yeah I don’t think they will fix chit the pc fam base is lower now then ever do to tc not giveing a fahk about pc port o well time to join those who are leaveing the game and play something els
I fix my issue by installing Nvidia Driver 382.53 the game runs with no problem whatsoever. Keep in mind that by doing this you might not be able to play other games that require the latest drivers. In my case I have i78700k and 1080 Ti ftw gpu and it runs on any other game on the 382.53 drivers. Good luck
thanks for the tip, fam.
I’ll give this a try because it’s becoming very clear that TC aren’t busy fixing their game at all.
waow, clever.
and JD is a terrible protagonist to play as. paper thin and petty.
I won’t stand for this! JD is my favourite character, he’s petty and paper thin, some of the best qualities a person can have.
to be fair the entire cast of the “new CoG”, especially in GoW 4, is pretty much paper thing cliche and captain obvious type ■■■■ =]
GoW 5 actually seems way more mature and doesn’t feel like a bad epis…all episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
So I have gone crash free for a bit now and wanted to share what I changed. I installed aida64 (system stability tester) and before I started the stability test it said that my graphics card timeout setting was too low and would probably cause issues with the test. I thought to myself “hmm… that sounds like why I wanted to run the test”
I updated the timeout value from 2 seconds to 8 seconds. I’m NOT sure that this fixed it, but I have definitely gotten more playtime than usual straight without a crash.
I also followed advice in this thread to lock my framerate at 60.
He worked for me, thanks buddy. Gtx 1080 ti user.
Hi I have updated my Nvidia GRD driver, i am using GTX 980 Ti 6 GB. But still facing the same error GW502. Please support…
This issue has been bugging me for days. I even got a new vid card because I thought it was under powered for this (it was a good excuse 
)
The aida64 app found the same issue and offered to fix it. Now I can do the in game benchmark on ultra settings where before it would crash on med.
Good find! Thanks!
New to me Vega 56.
Update, I almost got all the way through Boot Camp… Still crashing. This is dumb.
Another ■■■■■■■ answer from a mediocre studio
setting timeout to 8 seconds worked for me too! gtx1080

What is going on? Should I be worried? Should I ignore it? Is this a false alarm on the part of Windows Xbox Gaming Pass Beta APP? My gut feeling tells me it has something to the with the XvD or Xbox Virtual Drives that comes together with the Xbox Gaming Pass Beta APP. Correct me If i’m wrong, I believe it acts like ‘‘DAEMON Tools’’ software, creating virtual disk used to mount ISO files. As far as I can tell event viewer only logs this warning entry when I launch Gears Of War 5. When I launch Metro Exodus from the store, i see no event ID 51 or other disk related warning entries being logged in the event viewer. So i can safely say this ‘‘Event ID 51 Warning Error’’ is specifically a Gears Of War 5 related Warning Error. If you have any solution to this problem, please share with us.
Here’s someplace to start. It sounds like more of a hard drive issue. Could just be that your hard drive is running out of space or needs updated drivers.
Nope, it’s just Gears Of War 5 only and it’s related to the XvD drives in the device manager. XvD - Xbox VIrtual Drives. I have check the health status of 2 of my SSDs and 1 HDD, all of them are fine.
