Engine Error Changing Shadow Resolution and NVIDIA Driver crashing.

I have been suffering from non stop issues with nvidia graphics drivers and engine errors. I get engine errors for changing anything to do with shadow detail like Sun shadow cascade detail. Adjusting these settings causes a engine error or either a driver crash.

I'm not on my pc right now but I am more than willing to send error screens.

I have a i7 3770k at 4.3ghz and a gtx 1080 running windows 10. I have tested my overclock with aida64 for 8 hours so I doubt it is a cpu problem.

I am using the latest driver from nvidia 418.82.

I have tried re-installing my drivers and the game to see if it would fix but to no avail.

  • glad im not the only one with the same problem, whenever i turn on any shadow settings my game would instantly crash and the only way to fix it is to manually go to the videoconfig file and set every shadow settings back to 0, and that still doesnt fix it completely because my game would randomly crash in mid game. I also noticed that if my game crash every other programs that requires gpu workload would crash at the same time as well, from google chrome to video player to wallpaper engine and more. It really frustrates me since ive already tried every possible solutions to fix the issue, like degrading nvidia driver, replugging the graphics card, downgrading nvidia 3d settings, nothing works. and btw im using i5 8400 and gtx 1060 so running the game shouldnt be a problem.
  • I have a gtx 1060  AND a RTX 2080TI    after the 418.82 driver update NOTHING but PROBLEMS  / CRASHES...crash to taskbar    DRIVER RECOVERD 418.82
