Re: [PC] Game Randomly Crashing In Different Areas of The Game

Does .bat execution gives any error? If not, most likely it was executed.

The execution of .bat file is so fast you don't even see the console window pop up. For confirmation to see if the .bat file does the job: open a Explorer window and paste this on address box

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\D3DSCache\

 If the .bat does the job, there won't be any content on that location.

In my case there are lots of shaders stored just to see how the cache looks like - bunch of numbers and letters.

@sunwisecircles Here is a breakdown I pulled directly from your DxDiag. There are quite a few errors. The main thing is to make sure that if you have an SSD, the game and the EA app or Steam are both on that.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the Windows Error Reports you provided, along with troubleshooting steps for each - If you pull up the file, you can do a ctrl + F and type in Windows Error Report and it will take you directly to it. 

WER1 - RADAR_PRE_LEAK_64

• Description: This error occurs when Windows detects a possible memory leak in the application (Dragon Age The Veilguard.exe).
• Troubleshooting Steps:
  1. Update the Game: Ensure the game is fully up-to-date.
  2. Lower Graphics Settings: Memory leaks can be exacerbated by high resource usage.
  3. Check Memory: Use Task Manager to monitor RAM usage while the game runs.
  4. Disable Background Applications: Close non-essential applications to free up system memory.
  5. Run as Administrator: Launch the game with elevated permissions.

WER2 - APPCRASH (GalaxyClient Helper.exe)

• Description: The GalaxyClient Helper (part of GOG Galaxy) crashed due to an issue in KERNELBASE.dll.
• Troubleshooting Steps:
  1. Update GOG Galaxy: Install the latest version from the GOG website.
  2. Reinstall GOG Galaxy: Uninstall and reinstall the application to replace potentially corrupt files.
  3. Check System File Integrity: Run sfc /scannow to repair KERNELBASE.dll.

WER3 & WER4 - APPCRASH/BEX64 (OneDrive.exe)

• Description: OneDrive crashed due to a buffer overflow (BEX64) or an application error (APPCRASH).
• Troubleshooting Steps:
  1. Update OneDrive: Ensure you are running the latest version.
  2. Disable Integration Temporarily: If OneDrive sync is active while playing the game, disable it to prevent interference.
  3. Repair OneDrive: Use the repair tool from the OneDrive settings or reinstall it.

WER5 & WER6 - APPCRASH (NVIDIA Overlay.exe)

• Description: The NVIDIA Overlay application crashed due to an error in KERNELBASE.dll.
• Troubleshooting Steps:
  1. Update NVIDIA Drivers: Install the latest version from the NVIDIA website.
  2. Disable NVIDIA Overlay: In GeForce Experience, disable the in-game overlay.
  3. Repair KERNELBASE.dll: Run sfc /scannow to check and repair system files.

WER7, WER8, & WER9 - BEX64 (NVDisplay.Container.exe)

• Description: NVIDIA NVDisplay.Container.exe crashed due to a buffer overflow, possibly in _nvtopps.dll.
• Troubleshooting Steps:
  1. Update NVIDIA Drivers: Ensure the driver version is up-to-date.
  2. Clean Install NVIDIA Drivers:
     • Use the NVIDIA clean installation option during driver setup.
     • Alternatively, use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to remove all NVIDIA components and reinstall.
  3. Disable Third-Party Overlays: Turn off overlays from software like Discord or Steam that might conflict with NVIDIA's container.

General Recommendations:

1. Check Windows Updates: Ensure your operating system is fully updated (10.0.19045.5247 appears current, but verified again).
2. Test Game on Internal Drive: If feasible, move the game to your internal SSD to eliminate external drive-related latency or errors.
3. Clean System Temp Files: Use tools like Disk Cleanup or CCleaner to clear temporary files.
4. Reinstall the Game: If the above steps fail, uninstall and reinstall Dragon Age The Veilguard.

The NVIDIA "NVDisplay.Container.exe" and "NVDIA Overlay.exe" errors might be the cuprite here.

• Follow this manual to the letter to cleanly uninstall all NVIDIA components.
• Install the graphics. > Go online.
• Test.

lol, well, fantastic job! I always keep this one in my bookmarks! 😉

Delete the files manually then. It looks like the bat file is not working for any reason so ignore that.

Onward you should see the recommendations posted by @EA_Shepard  and @holger1405
