Games Crashing After ~15 Minutes When 3D Vision is Enabled (SOLVED)
  1 / 3    
EDIT: I'm leaving the rest of this post for others to read. I narrowed down the problem to a second copy of explorer.exe. It was being run by task scheduler every time explorer.exe was run. I removed the task and I am able to enter fullscreen on ESO on DX11. This gets me compatibility mode which is "good enough". The other issue I have, running ESO in DX9 mode for the Helix mod, exists without Helix dropped in so I'm going to handle that issue on the ESO forums/support side. The other games I listed here just required lowered settings. The primary solution was running games that were previously 1080P at resolutions such as 1600x900 or 0.85 supersampling (downsampling); with AA on (not FXAA, not good enough). I also had to reduce shadows. Almost all games are stable now and in acceptable format (for me). This includes Elite Dangerous/Horizons, Fallout 4 and GTA V. I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone on the forum for their help. I may have eventually found the issue on my own but quite frankly without the constant ideas and prodding I probably would have given up and wiped the machine earlier. I'm glad it didn't come to that :) Thank you again! ORIGINAL POST: I recently purchased and set up a 3D Vision 2 Kit on my PC. I had no stability problems beforehand. System specifications below.

ORIGINAL POST:

I recently purchased and set up a 3D Vision 2 Kit on my PC. I had no stability problems beforehand. System specifications below.

Windows 10
AMD FX-8350 Processor
MSI Nvidia GTX 970
3D Vision 2 Kit
Asus 3D Ready Monitor (connected over DVI)
Samsung 46" Non-3D TV (connected, but not used currently)
12 GB RAM
12 GB Pagefile on Drive C: (SSD)
12 GB Pagefile on Drive D: (SSD)

First off, the 3D looks great and performance is acceptable while it runs.

But whenever I'm in a game longer than say 15 minutes, I start getting out of memory errors or crashes. So far, this happens reliably in the following games.

Elite Dangerous/Horizons (64-bit)
Elder Scrolls Online (32-bit, DX9 workaround)
Grand Theft Auto V

The memory leak gets so bad that Windows forces me to close the application or it crashes outright. Disabling 3D Vision; no memory leaks and games are stable again.

I've updated my drivers from the website and did the complete re-install option when updating. I have expanded the page files to compensate for the memory errors, but that only bought another 5 minutes. As soon as the games close, memory usage returns to normal. Physical memory doesn't show in use before the crash, so it seems to be a coding / virtual memory error in the background.

I also disabled Samsing's "RAPID" mode to free up more physical memory (also, never noticed a speed increase anyway).

Everywhere else I go, they say Windows 10 works fine for them other than 3D Vision's usual quirks.

Anyone have any ideas or heard of this before?

I can't help you with your problem, but since you are new you should check out the community stereoscopic compatibility patches for games that do not look so good in 3D. http://helixmod.blogspot.com/2013/10/game-list-automatically-updated.html Also make sure to read through the corresponding game thread if you have a problem with a fix and post in it.

Very strange. Consider taking a backup of your OS drive (I recommend Veeam Endpoint for an easy, free method), reinstalling just the OS, drivers and games to see if it still does it. If not, you know it was a software issue. If it does, something weird is going on. Either way, you can always restore the backup, but with a little more information about the problem. But before you mess around with all that, just try removing the driver completely with this, then reinstalling it. http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

So you're sure each game is specifically eating the memory? Have you verified this is occurring with something like Process Explorer? Or is it possible some other thing is eating the memory? Clearly 3D Vision is causing your issue, I'm just wondering if you've eliminated third-party conflicts (that could be easily disabled).

What driver version are you using? Also, if you are not using a Shield or Shadow Play, do not install GeForce Experience.

I ran DDU from safe mode, restarted and tried again. ESO crashed after teleporting to 4 different cities; total time online about 5 minutes. I have included a screenshot of Process Explorer showing the memory usage at the time of the crash. The problem now is that its happening even with 3D Vision off... the only real piece of hardware added was the IR transmitter. I disconnected it; issue still occurs. I played the same game for 5-6 hours the day before I installed the 3D Vision Kit without issue. Its happening so bad in games that everything is unplayable. The irony is, its only games. My system itself is stable in non-game applications. Going to try a few more things and will report back if I discover the problem. Oh, and before it gets asked, GPU temp never exceeded 58C/136F and CPU temp was even lower :/ I wish it were that easy.

[quote="SkySolstice"]Drop one driver back and see if it fixes it.[/quote] Just tried that; nothing. I will not that just before installing the 3D Vision Kit I updated the driver. I've used DDU to reinstall that driver and also to revert to the previous one. The errors still occur. I don't even have the transmitter plugged in; 3D not enabled. It's entered a realm where I do not think its 3D Vision specific now. The fact that it occurred the same time/day as when I installed the 3D kit is still unnerving however. If I come up with a fix, I'll post here. As I don't think its 3D Vision specific, I'm not expecting help from this forum (ie. wrong place!). Thank you for the help so far though.

I would suggest reading through some of the posts over in the 9XX sub-forum. Maybe you'll get lucky and find something. It could also be that the game is seeing more available vram than you have due to compatibility issues with W10 vs being a memory leak. GL

Any software installed for random hardware peripherals like printers, cameras, etc? A lot of these are really badly written and hook into all sorts of things that they should not and can cause issues. One of the samba developers had a big fight with a driver author (IIRC it was for a webcam) who had done this because he didn't want to write a kernel driver and it was causing random crashes in unrelated programs. The samba dev was annoyed since he got all the bug reports, while the driver author got none even though it was the driver's fault. On my own system I see samsumg printer manager hooking into all my games - so far it hasn't caused me a problem (that I know of), but I'm always suspicious of it.

According to Process Explorer, its literally hogging memory. On character select, it sits at 2GB usage. As soon as I zone in, it spikes to 3.5GB and within 10 seconds; 3.6GB. At that point it crashes. 64-bit games last longer, but end up consuming all system memory to the point Windows forces me to close the application. If it were happening to everything (ie. non-game applications), I would chalk it up to some serious OS damage. But it only happens in games. For example, web browsers are unaffected.

We have something in commmon. I was using the EDID mod for my passive tv too. Now connecting at 144Hz to a 3D Vision monitor and everytime I start up a 3d game, it bluescreens as soon as it launches the game. Only running the game again after the crash will make it work. The interesting thing is I never had bluescreens before until I started using this monitor and using the higher refresh rate. I got a bunch of different bluescreen errors, but they only show up when having 3D vision activated in the control panel. So I think we both have some problem with the EDID mod interfering with high refresh rate monitors. If anyone else has the same configurations, let me know. Also, I don't have access to my computer for awhile so I can't fix the problem directly right now.
We have something in commmon. I was using the EDID mod for my passive tv too. Now connecting at 144Hz to a 3D Vision monitor and everytime I start up a 3d game, it bluescreens as soon as it launches the game. Only running the game again after the crash will make it work. The interesting thing is I never had bluescreens before until I started using this monitor and using the higher refresh rate.

I got a bunch of different bluescreen errors, but they only show up when having 3D vision activated in the control panel.

So I think we both have some problem with the EDID mod interfering with high refresh rate monitors. If anyone else has the same configurations, let me know.

Also, I don't have access to my computer for awhile so I can't fix the problem directly right now.
