  • Hi @isollation ,

    The error you are seeing is one relating to your drivers, the best thing to do is a clean install of your drivers. 

    You also need to ensure that you:

    • Turn on vsync
    • Perform a clean bootbefore attemting to play the game
    • Ensure you have power supply capable of meeting the demands of your hardware while it is under heavy gaming load
    • Set all in game graphics settings to low in order to reduce the stress on your GPU.
    • Set the high performance preset in your GPU control panel, as opposed to the high quality preset.
    • Run your video card at stock speeds (memory and core). This is also important for players with factory overclocked cards. This will require some third party software such as EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner etc.

    + Have you tried deleting all your AMD driver files using DDU ( http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html )

    followed by a reboot and then installing the newest drivers?

    Cheers
