Hello,
My issue began primarily in Season of the Chosen. Sometime in late April/early May I began getting crashes to desktop with a window that said "Error Code: Broccoli". I am aware that Broccoli is GPU-related, but I have been using the same GPU (EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3) since January with little to no issues to this point. Basically, the game will lock up and crash my driver, causing my monitors to briefly go into power-saving mode before returning to full function. At this point, one of two things will happen if I re-launch the game:
1: The game will launch normally but crash the driver again before I can reach the character select screen
2: The game will launch, but will run sub 10 FPS
My only solution is to restart my PC which allows me to play the game normally again. However, these crashes are highly unpredictable in nature. Sometimes I can play the game for 4+ hours without issue, I've gone days without crashing. Then there are days where I get 4 crashes in less than an hour. For a few days, I couldn't even complete the first half of an Override without crashing. One night, it simply stopped and I didn't have the issue again until two days later.
My frustration has reached a breaking point. I stream casually and recently switched to the Nvidia encoding. Getting this error not only crashes the game but my stream as well. At least when I used H.264 I could play something else, but now I need to risk my stream going down every time I crash. I have spoken with EVGA and several of my classmates and I have done research on the topic. The two most common (there isn't a lot for my specific case) reasons relate to 3000 series GPUs or to the factory overclock that comes on the GPU.
I'll be honest, I'm not going to underclock my GPU for Destiny, it isn't worth it when literally every other game works without issue. I can play Apex Legends for 12+ hours without issue, I play more graphically intensive games like Outriders (that game is a mess and I haven't had issues like this) or Crysis Remastered without issues. This is strictly a Destiny issue. Unfortunately, I do not have another GPU to test, and with the current market for GPUs I doubt I will be able to get my hands on one, but again, I'm not going to buy a new GPU just to play Destiny.
My frustration aside, I would like to keep playing the game and am hoping that this gets to the right people and someone can help me and hopefully others get past this problem. I still very much enjoy the game, but I can't keep playing if I'm constantly going to have to worry about it crashing. I can't commit to longer activities because I might crash in the middle of a raid encounter or something (it happens a lot). I'm happy to help as much as I can on my end. Thanks for your time.
P.S.
System specs are as follows:
Ryzen 9 3900X (No OC)
EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 (the RGB one)
32GB GSkill Trident Z Royal (silver for those wondering) running at 3600mhz D.O.C.P. (4x8)
ASUS TUF Gaming X570 motherboard (non-Wi-FI version)
Game is running off of a Samsung 870 EVO 2TB
(I previously ran it off of a Sabrent Rocket PCIe Gen.4 NVMe (2TB) and changed it because I thought maybe it was an issue of them running on the same lanes to the CPU. Nothing changed.)
Seasonic Prime 850 watt 80+ Platinum PSU.
I have plenty of cooling, GPU and CPU rarely (RARELY) hit 70 degrees, even while streaming.
If I missed anything you need just let me know!
