I made these changes and still crashed. I don’t understand how this game eats up 60% GPU standing around doing nothing and near 100% when approaching a portal. I have Task Manager (Performance) up all the time on a separate monitor that I watch. I am standing nowhere near portals when I crash and the GPU is only at 60%. Changing the settings you said to change did not change the GPU amount being eaten up. When I crashed it spiked to 100% GPU until the monitor turned back on. But before than it was at 60%. I don’t understand what is going on. Once the game is done crashing and I try to reopen the game via STEAM, the monitor goes blank and I have to unplug and replug the monitor. This is with the GPU at 0% because the game is just being reopened.
Crashed last night. Came back to this error and had to unplug and replug my monitor 3 times before it would let me play: default texture not created - failed to init D3D Texture (0x887a0005). The GPU would jump from 0% to 100% when I tried running Boundless and the monitor would say No Signal. Not sure what is going on. Any suggestions? I can have a graphic-intensive game on with 2 monitors, streaming on one screen, internet on another and a game on the main screen with no issues with any other game.
The Testing version does have a fix for the specific crash you were seeing when the window resized - however its very likely it will crash elsewhere or appear blank since its really an out of vram issue.
So the issue is why are you running out. I see~3gb usage at 1080p when I run it around city a with many portals. Your card is 4gb plus you should have ‘shared ram’ of a few gb more so should be more than enough.
If you open Task Manager and click on the Performance tab and then on the GPU before starting Boundless what do you see for Dedicated GPU memory usage (should be low eg 0.2 of 4GB) and Shared GPU memory eg 0 of 8gb.
Its possible some other app is using a lot or one of the in game overlays is doing something odd. Try disabling the Steam Overlay (Steam->Settings->In Game) and Geforce Experience. If your running the Steam Beta (Steam->Account) try the non Beta Steam.
Thanks for getting back to me, Michael.
0.2 out of 4 GB Dedicated GPU Memory
0.0 out of 12 GB Shared GPU Memory
Utilization 0%
I disabled the overlays and uninstalled the GeForce experience. I am going to see how it runs now. I’ll try some mining and try to get some hours in tomorrow to really test it. I haven’t played enough the past 2 days to report accurately what is happening. I’ll let you know. Thanks for staying on top of this!
I just crashed again and took pictures of my frozen screen with the GPU information up. I’m not anywhere near running out of VRAM when it changes and was sitting looking at my inventory, inbetween mining when it happened. !
Since the release of this new patch, I have had frequent crashes and rubberbanding. More so than anything I have experienced in the last 2 months I have been playing. It happens doing anything from mining to checking my inventory. I haven’t gotten into hunting/comets and feel like that portion of the game is impossible with the frequency I’ve been crashing. I would constantly die. I also don’t know how I could play anywhere near lava with the rubberbanding.
Is anyone else experiencing increased crashes? I made all the changes michael suggested and haven’t noticed any improvements.
I’ve crashed something like 4-5 times today.- 11/23/18 - 6:49PM EST
Just crashed again - 11/24/18 - 12:31 AM EST
Please do keep sending in any crash dumps so we can see why its still crashing for you. Given you should have up to 16gb of memory available it really should not be hitting out of vram.
Whats your monitor set up? Is there anything unusual about the rest of your setup? The earlier crash was only reported by you so does not seem to be a common issue so something unusual is triggering it.
Have a look in the Windows event logs by running “Event Viewer”. They are a quite technical but may show an issue. Look in “Windows Logs->System” and “Application and Services Logs->Hardware”.
I have a 32’’ monitor as my main monitor and 2 24’’ monitors (one to each side). I have not had any issues like this with any other application. I also never used Steam outside of Boundless and wonder if it relates to an issue with Steam or if it’s Boundless specifically since I have nothing to compare this to. I never come anywhere close to using all of my system’s resources. The computer is fairly new and I upgraded the ram/SSD awhile ago to speed it up even more and run games at max settings. I’ve been able to stream a video on one monitor, type notes on another or read an article and have a game up. I’ve had these crashes when I’ve had nothing else running and when I’ve been multitasking, I’ve had the performance tab up and seen that I never come close to using up system resources when it crashes. So I really do not understand what is going on. I can definitely say with certainty that I have crashed much more frequently since the patch. If I literally played all day, I would crash maybe 2 times a day. Now it is 5+ times a day. I have submitted crash dumps each time.
I went to Hardware Events. There are 0 logs.
I also noticed under Windows Logs → Applications - there were Steam.exe errors:

Those are Windows event logs from the last 3 crashes yesterday. I really appreciate you looking into this. The game may have bugs. But, to have this much community engagement to iron things out from developers is really incredible. I am loving the game when I am not crashing! Thanks Michael!
I just crashed.

The watchdog crashes are when Windows detects the GPU is not responding so stops it and reboots it - that could well crash anything running at the time (Steam or/and Boundless) and would also explain the window resize crash issue even when you didnt resize it.
It does feel like there could lower level issue here. You seem to have the latest drivers so might be worth trying to roll back to an older one to see if that helps. Perhaps the multi monitors but we use them at work (only 2 though) and some people have 960s.
Might be worth trying some of the stress benchmarks like furmark or heaven to see if they replicate the issue.
I had this issue before I updated my drivers. I updated my drivers before posting in the forum because I thought it was just an outdated driver issue. I’m really not sure what to do. I just crashed again while shoveling dirt to clear my base. Is there any other information I can give you to help resolve the issue? Should I keep sending those Windows crash logs? How do furmark or heaven work? Thanks Michael!
Crashed again - 11/24/18 11:53 PM EST while doing basic digging. Nothing fancy and nowhere near portals.
Crashed again - 11/25/18 12:27 AM EST while doing more basic digging. Nothing fancy and nowhere near portals. I kept getting “Unstable Connection” frequently the past 30 minutes and crashed again.
Crashed again - 11/25/18 12:26 PM EST while mining gleam on Kada I nowhere near portals.
I am crashing much more frequently since the new patch…
Crashed again - 11/25/18 6:16 PM EST while in my inventory
Logged back in and crashed within a minute. The game is getting to be unplayable. Nothing about my setup has changed and I am crashing all the time since this new patch 
- 11/25/18 6:25 PM EST while standing in a shop.
Crashed again - 11/25/18 10:26 PM EST ironically while hitting ESC and then shop to purchase a Gleam Club membership. Even with the constant crashing, I love this game and hope I can figure this out!
Crashed again - 11/26/18 12:25 AM EST while smacking crafting tables with my shovel in my base.
That’s 6 times in a 24 hour period (and I’m not playing 24/7. This seems a bit excessive. I haven’t changed any settings except for the settings you said to change. The results have been the same until the patch, where I noticed I have been crashing much more frequently.
As Michael says, I’d try running furmark (https://geeks3d.com/furmark/) it’s a really simple gpu stress test and just lets us rule out the possibility of it being a gpu hardware issue. Leave it running for 20-30 mins or something and see if it causes any similar problems.
I left Furmark running about 8 hours and monitored it while using a spare laptop and it did not cause any problems. Also, I finally hit level 50 yesterday, finished my hunter build and ran meteors with my neighbor. Then I tried soloing some without any issues - until I crashed during a solo meteor. I logged back in to find I was dead doing a level 1 meteor. I’m level 50 with max resists/armor. Until this issue is resolved, anything that makes this game fun outside of building on a level 1 world is a risk with the huge death penalty. I haven’t died since much lower levels. So, this is very frustrating. I just think it would be ridiculous if I had to unplug my monitors when I want to play or something like that when I have never had an issue like this with any other game or application. There must be a solution to this problem.
Also, I have continued to crash all the time. I stopped listing the times because I think I’ve made my point about the frequency of crashes. It’s a good 5-6 times a day at this point with no rhyme or reason.
Have you ever had it crash with only 1 or 2 monitors connected? Just trying to establish if it’s isolated to when you have all 3 monitors connected.
What resolution are the 3 monitors? 1080p, 1440p or a mixture, also are they all 60hz or 144hz or a mixture?
When playing which monitor do you have the game on, presumably always the bigger central monitor? have you tried running it on one of the others and if so did that also crash.
Also how is the monitor setup managed, through the windows management/layout functions or are you using the nvidia control panel multiple display management stuff? can you show us how either are setup.
Ideally if we can reproduce the same problem we can work out either what’s wrong or at least some sort of workaround but at the moment we’ve not managed to reproduce anything like this except in a case where a lower spec gpu was running out of vram (which it appears isn’t your situation)
I’m trying to play with just 2 monitors. I am going to try when I get home from work tomorrow doing this too. I log in during my lunch break at work with an inferior laptop (compared to my gaming desktop) connected to 3 monitors and don’t crash. So, I’m not sure what the issue is. But I’m also not logged in and playing for many hours at work - haha.
I have the 32’’ monitor in the center and 2 - 24’’ monitors(1 to each side). The center is a Sceptre curved monitor and the 2 side monitors are Samsungs.
The 32’’ is 1920 x 1080 (1080p) 60Hz (Sceptre C325W-1920R Curved 32-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor Metal Black)
The 24’’ are also 1920 x 1080 (1080p) 60Hz (Samsung S24F350FHN Series - 24" LED FHD FreeSync Monitor - High Glossy Black)
I use the NVIDIA Control Panel to set them up.
The desktop is a Predator G6-710 with an upgraded 24GB of ram.
The work laptop is an Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G with an upgraded 16GB of ram.
Thanks for getting back to me. I really appreciate it!
Ok, so after playing with just 2 monitors, there are no crashes. Now the questions is: why when I play Boundless can’t I used 3 monitors? But, with any other application/game I have no issues?
I need to unplug the third monitor whenever I want to play which is kind of annoying. But at least I have a workaround so I can enjoy meteors.
I will say without the crashes the game has been so much more enjoyable and I have been playing a lot more!
Hope we are able to figure out a fix. I wanted to test it a lot before trying to pinpoint the problem.
So, I’m definitely happy I don’t crash anymore. But, would really like to use all 3 monitors. Since this only happens with Boundless (or maybe Steam? I don’t play any other Steam games, so can’t be sure), I am having to unplug one of the monitors every time I want to login. Any idea what this could be? Thanks.
