It used to be bad. 4 times out of 10 the game would crash with a broccoli error and Radeon software would report a driver timeout. It got worse during Beyond Light. Probably reaching 8 times out of 10. Now with Witch Queen, and maybe even since March 10 update, it's reach epic failure proportions.
I can rarely get more than 15 minutes of game time before it crashes. Sometimes with broccoli errors. Sometimes with nothing except a frozen screen. Other times the display goes into full seizure inducing mode.
I end task. I restart. I force restarts with the reboot button. Sometimes after a crash, I will be good for hours. Sometimes I will randomly be good for hours without doing anything. I suspect it completely depends on what activity I'm playing. I used to be able to cause it 99% of the time when going into Dares, but strangely that now seems more stable than Gambit. I just had 3 (or 4? crashes) in Gambit in a row and now I'm banned. I hope it is not for too long.
I have done so many things to try and figure out a fix
- All different Radeon driver versions. Old. New. Windows installed. Downloaded from their site.
- Disconnected second display. Reduce resolution of primary display. Replaced DisplayPort cables. Removed KVM switch.
- Re-installed Windows 11. Re-installed Windows 10.
- Mucked around with app priorities and "run as administrator"
- Radeon chill
- Increased fan speed
- Bought a new power supply (with way too much power)
- Turned on HDR. Turned off HDR.
- Turn on frame limiting. Turn off frame limiting.
- Turn on VSync. Turn off VSync. Turn on AMD AdaptiveSync. Turned it off.
- I am also running at a render resolution of 75 to keep things chugging along at 60 - 95 fps (I have a 3440x1440 ultrawide display).
- Turned off CPU overclocking.
- Reduced GPU clock rate by 100.
- Made sure BIOS is current.
Always broccoli errors or worse. No other game has these problems.
Things seems "okay" the past couple of days because I finally gave up on Windows 11. I reinstalled Windows 10, re-installed Destiny, limited which apps I install and run (none). I think I had one crash the past 3 days -- until today. 5 crashes. I'm now banned from Gambit because the game doesn't know that a crash does not equal leaving early. I even had a crash today as I cleared one of the Gambit warnings -- while still in orbit.
I'd be more than happy (and excited) to help Bungie debug and test fixes on my PC if they think that might help everyone else. Purely anecdotal, but these crashes seem somewhat widespread; maybe just AMD GPUs? Maybe getting worse?
If this is widespread, it would be great if Bungie at least acknowledges the problem. Maybe try and get some outside help?
Now that I'm back on Windows 10, I might try Radeon Adrenaline 21.8.2 and see if that works better.
I saw someone suggest that a dxdiag dump might be useful? Here it is: https://pastebin.com/B8CJ4HSa

Interesting news on my quest to let me place on this PC.... I was still trying lots of things, but every time I thought I found the solution, it would crash a day later. AMD just released the new "recommended" driver. Adrenaline 22.3.1 seems very stable to me so far. No crashes in a couple of days. Keeping my fingers crossed.
