So, I can see through historical reddit and forum posts that this error has plagued NXT on Nvidia GPUs literally since release, with Jagex failing to take any action (no surprise there).
Through some naive hope I wanted to see if we the players could resolve this issue (not release a patch, of course). But otherwise identify a workaround, or gather enough data to point Jagex to the problem.
So, does anybody have any remote suggestions regarding a solution here? Don't hold back on extreme techy solutions either I'm totally comfortable with anything that might be suggested.
Symptoms:
- A system-wide video lockup for approx 6 seconds
- NXT relinquishes system resources, window closes and gives only the prompt above
- Video returns as error is displayed.
- Sound is not affected
- No other software is affected at all.
Observations
- Happens exclusively in areas of game with more updated graphics. This indicates a new graphic technique is the cause
- (EG Taverley, Menaphos, Manor Farm, Anachronia.)
- These new areas also cause an increase in GPU load. (This is expected)
Things I have tried
- Removing GPU overclock (no change)
- Updating GPU drivers
- Restoring nVidia control panel settings
Again, any and all help, ideas, suggestions are greatly appreciated. If you also experience this I would love to hear from you, and perhaps we can identify a common thread. Additionally I would like to expand the symptoms/observations part of the post to try and further narrow down the cause. Many thanks.
