That nvwgf2umx.dll has popped up again

I realise I'm posting a lot but I would really like to get this sorted before the loooong week begins. 

nvwgf2umx.dll is an Nvidia file so it suggests a problem with your driver installation somehow.

I guess you could always do a CHKDSK on your harddrives to see if anything is corrupt, or you could using Nvidia Experience to optimize the game settings or just fiddle with the graphics settings in general and see if some specific setting is causing it.

I am experiencing a similar problem as you "Display driver has crashed and recovered blah blah". The old TDR error.

Every 2-30mins (random it seems) I will crash during play.

WoW, Fallout 4, BF4 and SWBF all have this similar issue (highly GPU demanding). I experience this in no other games (DCS, War Thunder, KSP, etc).

WoW for some reason will only hang for 1-2 seconds, come up with the task bar error pop up, it will continue working however (all be it icons in the UI go funny colors).

I have tried all the solutions you have across all games for the past 12 months and I am unable to find a solution, or even a cause....

I'm starting to feel it is some random * part of my $3k PC (now outside warranty) that I will never be able to find. All the testing I have done to date cannot find issue with any bit of my PC. I could try replacing the parts one by one, but that is just silly not to mention expensive.

I will expect these errors will happen for the Star Citizen release, of which I will be super pissed about.

If the companies wish PC to still be competitive they NEED to find and work on this issue, an all in one diagnostic tool or something....

Hmmmm, Around the same time I reinstalled windows my PSU blew so I got a replacement and at the same time I ordered the new GFX card and a new HDD because my old disk was done for and I was due for a new GFX card. So I don't think its the brand new gfx card or hard disk causing the issue. could it be another component? Like maybe when my old PSU blew it possibly damaged my motherboard or ram? Ive ran chkdsk already and mem test which should I should have added in my first post. Could it possibly be my motherboard? Maybe it got damaged when my PSU blew? Is there anyway of testing without buying a whole new motherboard?

Thanks

I would also like to add that I have been playing the Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 on ultra without error and without a single problem. And with Battlefront I'm running it on the lowest setting it possibly can be while I'm trying to get it working. So I doubt it's the graphics card as its able to run other recent games fine with no error on ultra settings. No matter what settings I run Battlefront on it crashes. On high settings I'm getting 60fps, So low settings would not be stressing my system at all.

Trying different graphics settings hasn't much to do with if your computer can run it or not, it's about testing for driver issues. Sometimes Anti Aliasing / Anisotropic filtering / something else in the game's settings or Nvidia's software has issues. So changing the settings in both places to different values and on/off states can sometimes make help identify the thing making the driver/game unstable.

Oh, and you might also want to try:

• Disable Origin in game in Origin's settings
• Run the VC installer from C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist
• Reinstall DirectX

• A broken Windows Installation can cause all kinds of trouble. To scan your Windows installation for certain system file errors open a command prompt with admin rights and run the command: "sfc /scannow". A more detailed guide on how to do this can be found here:
  

  http://help.ea.com/sg/article/how-do-i-run-the-system-file-checker/
  

Sorry I haven't gotten back. I went to bed. 😛 

Disabling origin in game was one of the first things I tried. The age old trying to get battlefield to work tricks. xD

Just repaired the vc2013 installation and reinstalled DX So I am going to try it now. 

If that doesn't work I'll run sfc /scannow. If that doesn't work then I'll mess with the settings more and see what the outcome is.

And if that has no resolve and it could be a bad windows installation then I will attempt an upgrade to Windows 10. But I really really really really do not want windows 10. Had it on my laptop for a week and put windows 7 back on it. 

But if there's a chance it will fix the issue I'm willing to give it a try. But if it doesn't work I'll be pretty annoyed because I don't want to have to back up gigs of 3D to work and go through the process of installing all my development applications again which takes up most of the day.

So scan found no errors. I'm going to experiment with the settings in both Nvidia and the game but I'm not holding my breath. I've tried running BF using Nvidia's optimised settings with the same result. 

So I managed to finish 4 games until it crashed again.

Thought it was fixed for a moment

I've run out of ideas, either an older driver will fix it, Nvidia's drivers has issues with 950's on Win7 in Battlefront or something is so deeply weird on your computer that I can only recommend a format and a fresh start.

Yeah it's a strange issue. I was just running everything on the lowest of the low and off and it still crashed.

Didn't get the Nvidia dll error this time though. I'm going to install older drivers and see how it goes.

Thanks.

I've installed the the earliest supported driver for my gfx card and Battlefront which is 358.50. Will post back with results. If this doesn't work then it's time for Windows 10 install. I don't want to but that's how much I want to binge on this game.

Result was as expected. Crashed mid battle. There has to be a fix for this. I'm upgrading to Windows 10 as we speak. If this doesn't fix it I'm not sure what else to try. 

Im having the exact same issue, only difference is i'm running GTX 980M.

Driving me nuts and seems to be most games.

Did you find a solution?

Nah I haven't managed to fix it yet. I've just finished installing windows 10. I'm about to give it ago. 

I already have Windows 10. So doubt thats going to fix it my friend.

I've also had Blue Screen of Death linking to issues with Nvidia Graphics so i'm assuming its an NVIDIA issue.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/3gwf5b/discussing_the_recent_win10_driver_crashes/

Strange that it doesn't seem to be happening to everyone... It's driving me crazy! All of my games are not working.

I've just seen this: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/PC-Freezing-and-Crashing-at-random-times/m-p/4958399#U4958399 which someone mentioned GPU fans not spinning. Seeing as I have an EVGA gfx card I thought I'd give it a go.

So I've just installed EVGA PrecisionX 16 which allows you to configure your graphics card. When I opened it I noticed that it said the fan wasn't spinning on my GPU. So I've just enabled automatic fan control and a wering noise started coming from my base unit. I'm not sure if the fans always been off because I've not had the gfx card for long but we will see what comes of this.

I have also experienced BSOD but I thought it was a one off because of the constant crashes.

I'll let you know how this goes.

The above has not fixed the issue. ☹️ This is getting tiresome.

I've been having this issue with GTA V, AC syndicate. The same nvwgf2umx.dll. 

Since then have upgraded to 2xgtx 980tis. Tried rolling back to the earliest driver for this card. Tried fixing DX11, tried several other programs, just installed windows 10.. nothing helps!

DAMN nvwgf2umx.dll!

Makes me want to pack up my pc.. 

Latest windows update seems to have fixed this! 

Going to test some more.. here's hoping! 

Remember, you can give driver feedback here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/driverqualityassurance.html

Did windows update fix the issue for you? I've tried to update but apparently windows is already fully up to date. ☹️

Also, if you go to Windows Update it should tell you the update ID of which updates it installed so that we can check if our machines have it. Would be really appreciated.

I read somewhere else that Windows Update fixed the issue so lets hope for the best.

Thought I had it going then. But then nvwgf2umx.dll.

Is this likely to be a game issue or a driver issue? I've tried so many different driver. They can't all be faulty. 

Do you overclock your graphics card? If yes, try running game in stock clock/memory configuration.

Another thing you can try is to reinstall Nvidia drives doing a clean install (all previous drivers are deleted and new ones are installed).

On express installation you will not find "clean install" box.
