Re: Mass Effect Andromeda directX crash

I did 2 things at the same time, and one of them seemed to have done the trick (had no directx error after). This is what probably did the trick: Changed to borderless window instead of fullscreen. I also changed pagefilesys to 50gb on a non-SSD harddrive. I tried earlier only changing pagefilesys (automatic and manual on several discs incl. SSD). This did not work for me, but it could be that I changed the pagefilesys to a non-SSD harddrive did the trick.

    The thread was marked "Solved" by the user, not EA, if I understand the forum rules correctly. The Original Poster's issue was solved by another poster's solution, so they chose that solution, and it was marked as solved. It doesn't account for the users who were not helped by the "solution."

    Should not appear in the main statement or original OP, only in the specific post of the one that has served as a solution.

    Anyone has news on the new patch solving this issue?

    Patch didn't fix it for me.  However there's a new nVidia driver on their website that did.  No idea about AMD unfortunately.

  • The patch didn't work for me. I tried suggestions of the top of this forum and nothing. I tried with the latests AMD drivers (17.4.1) and nothing. 😢 😢

  • Same here. Tried with the latest AMD drivers as well and it still crashes. Waste of money.

    The patch and new Nvidia driver has made it even worse for me.  Cut scenes are now a slide show where as I might have 60fps in the game as soon as it goes to a cut scene the game grinds down to a few frames per second and then I get the crash that eveyone is talking about in this thread.  Before it would take anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours to get this crash and frame rate in cut scenes was OK.  This is ridiculous...

    Same here.  With the latest Andromeda update and the newest AMD drivers (17.4.1), I hoped that running it on High (instead of Medium) would work better; it does...for about 15-20 minutes before a conversation locks the game up (can't even Alt + F4 or Ctrl + Alt + Del my way out of it).

    I literally built this machine to Andromeda's RECOMMENDED specifications, and have kept up with all of my software updates (I've only had the computer for about a month), so this has been extremely frustrating to endure.

    The ones having the problem like me, can you confirm if your sound settings in Windows itself is set to stereo or 5.1/7/1?  Someone on another forum said it only started happening when they switched it to 5.1.  I have that set too, wondering if anyone has luck switching it to stereo.

    Edit: Actually he may not have meant Windows.  Could be the game settings.

  • Did following things that solved the problem for m

    Windows creators update installed

    Latest Patch for mass effect andromeda

    Turned sound settings to stereo (ingame not windows)

    Swap file 50gb

    Turned off origin ingame and origin cloud save

    Good luck everybody
