Re: Mass Effect Andromeda directX crash

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
