[PC] MSI Afterburner + Rivatuner issues with Fall Patch

Hi @Press-2-Continue - thanks for telling the community that this software is not compatible. As your subject text "has stopped working" is not very descriptive for this I've taken the liberty of changing it so your fellow gamers can easier find this thread. I hope that was ok.

Is this by any chance only in DX12 ? Many applications might have compatibility issues with DX12 games when they improve the DX12 code. If this is the case you probably have to wait for updates for these applications, you can help the issue along by reporting the issue to the developers of these applications.

It would appear that the MSI afterburner+Rivatuner issues are solved by going back to DX11, but this now gives me the issue's I had in DX11 where the game would freeze for 5 seconds at a time every 30 second to 5 minutes even before the patch, That is why I changed it to run under DX12 as that solved that issue for me.Also since this issue only started after the fall update this would be an issue on your side causing it to stop working if MSI afterburner+Rivatuner are turned on in DX12 and not an issue with the software itself as that is the latest version as I had stated before.

So I now have a game I am unable to monitor my temps/useage etc while in DX12 due to the fall update on BF1 or revert back to an unplayable game in DX11 where the game would freeze completely then revert back to being able to be played after 5 seconds which happens every 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

DX12 is rather new, there's very few DX12 applications. This means applications like Afterburner is still getting used to DX12 and needs to make some updates to cover all that DX12 changes, so if BF1 adds to it's DX12 implementation and Afterburner don't handle this change well it's not DICE's fault.

If you have issues with DX11 we can see if we can fix that instead. Is the DX11 freezes also fixed by turning off these applications by any chance? Does the DX11 freezes occour if you play after a clean boot?

The DX11 probelms are from a clean boot, they appear when both MSI and riva are turned off or on, The install of windows 10 is also a fresh install (All current updates done) which was done before I installed BF1, No other games react the same way as BF1does. Diablo 3,Starcraft 2, BF4 along with many other games all work fine with no issue's.

Have you tried a clean driver install using DDU?

If you can attach your dxdiag.txt to this thread I'll also like to take a look at it 🙂

Really do you not think that from a fresh install using only the latest drivers and actually being more intellegent that someone who sits and reads from a drop down box would not know how to perform a clean install of said driver's, No wonder tech support for any company gets a bad rep,

That sentence didn't make much sense. But if you are wondering why I asked to use DDU after a clean Windows install it's because Windows sometimes like automatically installing old Nvidia drivers after a clean install which can sometimes cause issues.

There's also a new 375.86 Battlefield 1 game ready Nvidia driver out you might want to try.

I can see your BF1 has crashes due to the DirectX dll that handles the graphics interface so something odd is definitely going on in your system and it could be a tough one, especially if you are going to insult me AND mistake me for working for EA each time.

And considering the last 2 nvidia driver updates gave me the same problem that was supposed to have been and advertised as "game ready drivers" the latest one isn't going to work either but i'l play along with this game and no doubt will have the exact same issue in an hour when its done and installed and i come to try to play the game again

So yeah what a surprise new drivers and still the same issue now it even freeze's when the server is loading and the cutsense's in Operations mode have to catch up

No need for the negative attitude. Have you tried disabling Origin In Game in Origin?
