infamous "nvidia display driver stopped responding and has recovered."

Any suggestions to stop this from occurring? It goes without saying that I haven't seen this error since the battlefield 3 and 4 days when I played them... And I have played many other games since then.

well not the 1/22/2015 version, but if you are telling me the 12/23/2014 version is too old, then I will be happy to take the time and download the drivers.

I will reiterate that this issue only happened to me in Battlefield 3/4 back in the day, and I have never seen this crash in any other game since.

Temperatures = Never higher than 45 C because I am water cooled.
graphics card = gtx 580 3GB

That sounds very much like a lack of PSU voltage ? 580 is a eater, are you running SLI?

 I have a 1200W Silverstone Gold. No, I am not running SLI. For reference, demanding games that never crash on me are ARMA 2, crysis 2, and Empire: Total War.

if you run windows seven try to disable aero effects on the desktop, it might help.

To be honest, I shouldn't have to do this to run a game in 2015.... I will try it though when I do my stream.

You should send a "NavalActionCrashSender" report.

Thats an .exe wich you can find in your gamefolder in [...]\SteamGames\steamapps\common\Naval Action

 

Also you can include the "unity.log" in the "log" folder you find in the one I copied you above. (upload it here on the forums)

 

You will still have to wait for a dev to answer you. This looks like a specific problem wich may occure in very special circumstances.

No, none of it is overclocked, and I never have bothered to. My 3930k is doing its default 3.8 Ghz boost speed, and the 580 is sitting at GPU Clock - 770 Mhz and Memory Clock - 2000 Mhz (temperature right now on graphics card is 24 C idle)

Where should I start this thread/send this report?

the crashsender sends it directly to gamelabs.

 

The logfile you can put in this very thread. Simply attatch it to one of your posts here. Or make a new post.

That's impressive piece of hardware :)

Your bios is extremely outdated. It was never updated I guess.

 

most recent is 2014/06/18, (Description: Improve system stability.)

and yours is 2012/04/08

 

BUT

In your motherboard case, BIOS conversion is needed before updating, so if you are not sure how to do it - do not do it .

 

And of course - i can't guarantee that this will solve your problem.

Hmm, this is odd because I remember converting to the new bios awhile back. I was very hesitant to do this once, but to do it again? Hoping it might fix a problem? Hmmm, I don't really enjoy messing with bios. Especially considering I have a live stream to maintain.

I get this occasionally too.  Everything is up to date especially since I just built this computer a couple weeks ago.

 

-Asus Rampage V Extreme mobo - bios is up to date

-Intel 5820k Haswell-E 6-core CPU

-Corsair Dominator Platinum 16Gb 2666Mhz Ram

-Asus Strix GTX 970 GPU - all drivers up to date

-Win7 Pro - up to date

 

Is it just that the game is not fully optimized yet?

Probably already did some of these...but worth a try.

 

- Try/test different in game settings.

- Re install latest Nvidia drivers, but select custom install.  Make sure to check the fresh install option

- close all unnecessary background programs, especially virus scanners.

- You may want to consider a fresh Windows install

- You may want to try a older or borrow a different vid card to test

- You may want to consider updating bios as someone has suggested.  Just make sure you know what you are doing if you will try this.

 

Keep in mind, this is a alpha and there's a possibility the game has a issue with your setup for whatever reason.  Good luck.

Could it be a Win7 issue then? I have Win8.1 and have never had any GPU issues.

I'm running Win 7.  No issues.

 

Both the OP and the other user having these issues have a Asus Rampage mobo.  Could be a issue with that, but not likely.

If this is for me, then yeah.  I've tried all those things.  I would have it happen on my GTX 570 before I built my new computer a couple weeks ago.  Windows is a fresh install and I always do a custom/fresh install of GPU drivers.

 

I gather it's just an alpha thing, but don't know if GL has any official word.  I know a few people who've had this happen.
