I have trouble with my brand new RX 580, that I recieved and installed today. I also downloaded STALKER: CS anew from Steam. At first I run the game and set the resolution and all graphic settings to maximum, including DX10.1 mode. After that I exit and restart the game. I see a black screen first, then the game appears minimized. I switch to it and GSC intro begins to play, but just for a second. Then the game crashes (xrengine stopped working). If I manage to skip the Intro, the game crashes in the main menu. This way I can't play with the settings to see what exactly causes the crash, because like I wrote, can't get to the menu
My specs:
Intel Core i7-4770k with Thermalright True Spirit 140,
ASRock Z87 Extreme 4 Mobo,
4x4 GB TeamGroup DDR3-2133,
XFX Radeon RX 580 8 GB GTS Black Edition,
2xSamsung 840 Pro 256 GB in RAID 0,
WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA 3 HDD,
Windows 7 Ultimate x64,
LG 23MP68VQ FullHD monitor
Driver: Adrenalin 18.7.1
The Freesync and Enhanced synchronisation are turned on.
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
Ok, I found the culprit: MS Windows update KB 2670838, which apparently breaks a lot of games.
I tried to uninstall it, but it failed to roll back changes to DirectX. So I was forced to reinstall the Windows. This time I hid this update.
The update would be required for IE 10/11 though, but who uses it anyway.
I have reinstalled the game. This time I changed settings one by one and restarted the game after each change.
That's the point the game starts crashing. Looks like aproblem with the DX10 renderer
