Have you tried reinstalling your GPU drivers?: https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/360021233554--PC-How-to-Perform-a-Clean-Re-Installation-of-Your-NVIDIA-GPU-Drivers

Yeah i already did that. I also try to run the game on an older driver Version.

I have the same issue, running at 4K on an RTX 3080 video card.

Got random crashes, sometimes once a mission, sometimes multiple times, sometimes while walking around the hub area. In the windows event viewer, I’d see the same error you posted, as well as a “warning” saying that nvlddmkm had stopped responding and had been restarted.

Tried reinstalling drivers, disabling DLSS/RTX, lowering settings, etc, nothing helped.

In the end what finally seems to have stabilized it for me was lowering my framerate limit from 120 down to 60. After making that change, I haven’t crashed in about 15 missions. I don’t know if that’ll help you, but figured it can’t hurt to mention in case it does!

Good luck!

Setting the game to 60 FPS makes the games crash less often, but there are still crashes we the same error Report
