So I've managed to play through the introductory bit, in the infirmary when trying to leave the game crashed with a DirectX error popup saying the following:
See a few others have ran into this, any ideas on what to try? Reinstall the latest Nvidia driver?
I got a screenshot, my directx error message is slightly different, game crashes after a few minutes each time within character creation.
I get this same error (but with a different listed GPU of course). Very frustrated!
I am so frustrated with this. If you find out the fix let me know please!
I get the same error as soon as I click continue in character creation, not even started the game yet :(
Slightly glad it isn't just me. I was worried my laptop was on its way out. Crazy because it runs Baldur's Gate 3 on the highest setting but cannot cope with medium setting on Veilguard?
Yep, same exact scenario. I have all the settings on the lowest possible and I can't exit character creator without my game crashing completely with a GPU directx error above. And yet I can play BG3 with high settings. I really hope there is a patch soon or something so I can see the game I paid for
Graphics drivers are fully updated. Game is still crashing.
I put this is another thread, but I am also going to post here because I am getting the same DirectX Error:
I was able to play for 6 hours yesterday without any crashes on my 1080ti, but I just reached the "Ritual Site at the Ancient Bridge" section of the game and the game crashes within 2-3 minutes.
Fixes I've tried that were unsuccessful:
- updated graphics driver
- updated BIOS
- confirmed Windows is up to date
- deleted Shaders cache folder for Veilguard
- repaired game files in Steam
- uninstalled and reinstalled the game
- uninstalled and reinstalled NVIDIA GeForce Experience since I have been unable to optimize the game in GeForce Experience. My wife has a 2060 GPU and has had no issues being able to optimize game settings in GeForce Experience.
- lowered game graphics settings
- changed Shader Cache Size to 100 GB on NVIDIA Control Panel
- confirmed PhysX settings are set to graphics card in NVIDIA Control Panel
- freed up over 300 GB of space on my SSD
I have done every fix I can find without success. I think this is going to require a hotfix from BioWare.
Yeah I've gotten that 3 times in 4 hours of playing.
I get the same message I made sure my drivers are updated
Curious to know if rolling back the drivers would fix it. **bleep** shame as I managed to play a couple hours and was having a blast.

I'm also running into this same error and I've tried everything in the link above, does anyone know of any other fixes?
Graphic drivers fully updated, game keeps randomly crashing (sometimes after 10 mins, sometimes after 1 hour) and giving me this DirectX Error over and over again.
I am having the same error. It crashed after few minutes, and it gets worse. now it crashes the moment i get into a save :(
EA ID: Felix_Cheq
I am playing the game on steam.
Please if you end up finding out the fix let me know.
Is there no fix yet? I've tried every suggested method across several of these threads and the game still wont run. I'm now repairing game files which is at 36% after two hours. This is seriously disappointing after paying for deluxe just to have it not run.
SOLUTION THAT HELPED ME.
So I had the exact same issue everyone is reporting here, spent most of the day doing everything reinstalling, re-install drivers, reinstall DX, nothing worked, until I did a deeper dive into event viewer and searching the specific issue causing the crashes, in my case this is what was the issue:
Windows Paging size was to little,
Do the following and let me know if it helps you:
(Keep in mind the higher the paging size, the more storage is occupied from your C-drive)
To be clear:
Initial size - 24000
Maximum size - 24100.
Hope this helps at least some of you, I been able to play without interruptions, and before I struggled to even pass the character creation.
About how much storage is left available on your C drive for this to work for you. I really dont want to delete Bg3 lol
I have over 600GB open on my drive, but I also only had the one crash so far
Does this need to be the drive the game is on or the C drive? I'm running off an external SSD. Not seeing an option to change anything?
Tick of "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" at the top, than you should be able to change it. The changes needs to be for the C-drive.
I tried this it didn't work for me. Is there anything we can do to fix this?
Sorry to hear man, its **bleep** when nothing works, trust me before I found this fix for me, I did everything, defragged, reinstalled, downgraded windows update, repaired the game, Reinstalled DX, reslotted GPU, cleared CMOS, reset bios, the list goes on, nothing worked aside from what I shared here.
In my case I looked in event viewer and thats where I spotted the Virtual Memory running low, cause I have 16GB Ram, the game runs about 98% of that memory, increasing your VM made sure there was backup memory if it reached 100%.
