Space Marine II crashing my Radeon drivers

Fastfishy2 · Sep 28, 2024

This is the only game I have this issue with, and nothing from reinstalling the game, reinstalling drivers, running as administrator, does anything to fix it.
About once per day Space Marine II will cause the screen to freeze, then go black, and I get a popup saying my Radeon drivers have timed out.

I'm not sure if there's any known fix at the moment but I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this sort of issue and if so, did you find anything that helps? All my temps are normal, no OC's, no voltage / power mods. Other than for this game specifically, it's an incredibly stable rig.

That's the driver package I'm currently using. Still crashes galore.

AMD, just being AMD.

Probably should try some higher wattage PSU

Their system probably doesn't even hit 500w, this is not the case.

GerKNG · Sep 29, 2024

there is a newer driver than this one that specifically fixes this.

also there's a new game update. I just updated my game version

yeah I haven't ever had any PSU-related instability on this system and it stands up to heavy stress testing without issue. Plus the PSU calculator said 750 should be fine even in a worst case scenario, which I'll basically never reach.

I'll have a look at this one.

My pal with 14900K + 4080S had crashing on a 1000W Gold EVGA just playing games, he stopped the crashing by replacing the PSU.

Sometimes the PSU just have the capacitors degraded and just can't handle the transient loads on these GPU, despite having enough wattage.

So yeah in case you can't fix the crashing with updated drivers/game updates, consider the PSU

That's usually an unstable GPU core OC. If not OC'ing the GPU core, then it may be faulty.

Imperator · Oct 9, 2024

In his case it is a driver related problem.
It is not the 1st case of Space Marine II driver issue.
Probably they will fix it soon

How about 24.9.1? It's the first WHQL driver with official SM2 optimisation. It has this specific line in its change log:
"Fixed issues: intermittent driver timeout or application crash while playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2."
I just finished the game on this version, and never had a single hitch, freeze, blackout, or anything.

yeah that and limiting the FPS to 90 (I have a 75hz screen w/ vsync so IDK why that was even necessary) seem to have fixed the problem.

Hello.
Nice to see that your problems were solved.
But...keep in mind that your monitor refresh rate is not FPS.
Here is an article for that :

FPS vs. Refresh Rate: What Are the Differences?

What makes these two important gaming specifications distinct from each other?

Oh yeah, I know that, but I always turn Vsync on so the actual recorded FPS being put out is matching the refresh rate anyway. Point being I don't get more than 75fps in SM2 because vsync
Caps it anyway.
