Windows 10 Build 19045 TD 2022.33600 Nvidia 2060 Driver 535.98
I have a permanent installation which reboots nightly. Occasionally, once every two weeks or so, upon boot TD will fail to launch with the error message “The Vulcan Device has return a fatal error Code. This usually happens if a GPU operation runs for too long or is stuck in an infinite loop. If you are using GLSL TOP/MAT, check your code and try to simplify complex shaders. You can try turning up the TdrDelay in the Windows Registry to see if giving the GPU more time avoids the error. Otherwise please report this issue to support@derivative.ca Exiting.” Pressing OK pops another window saying that TD has crashed and it will auto save.
This doesn’t seem to be an issue with my patch specifically though as this also happens just opening TD generally with the default patch.
I’ve tried extending the TdrDealy to 20 but it doesn’t seem to have an effect. The only solution is to reboot the PC and then it works as normal. It’s pretty strange as it is intermittent and the only solution I’ve found is a reboot. There is a Error in the windows system log but all it says is that the NV Vulcan DLL failed but there aren’t any kind of details.
I’ll probably write some code to detect this state and reboot but I’d like to avoid having to rely on such a drastic step.
I had that Vulkan issue, I had to spend time double checking bios settings and run thru drivers to sort them out (something about the integrated graphics drives from intel, windows display drivers, and NVidia drivers). Its dependant to your system, and frankly I only tinker, but i got it to work.
even if its to uninstall it afterwards you can use nvidia geforce experience to check that your card is properlly detected and that drivers are up to date, altho it might work until the wrong driver somehow gets loaded at boot (dodgy bios settings).
tthat could also not at all be your issue
@Mr.Presqu was your issue also intermittent? Also as far as I can tell the Nvidia drivers do detect the card. But disabling the integrated graphics is an interesting idea.
Nope, it was a system put together for the project and so it really was about getting it to run altogether, altho what was intermitent was the display showed up either on the integrated graphics either on the graphics card. That was with a GTX1080. I also had the Vulkan issue with a Quadro6000, which is an old card i always struggle getting the proper drivers for.
Idea with bios settings, some things can be handed off by your motherboard to your system “ready to use”, sometimes for x reason, it wont work and so windows loads its drivers. It could have nothing to do with your setup, but it’s worth having a look at it, taking the time to find bios manual for your motherboard and what settings do (all that intel virtualisation stuff, power management, and whatnot lol). It did work also for solving some USB devices disapearing or not showing up altogether.
Last thing, i couldn’t get both to work, i wanted to put an NVme SSD, i had to switch PCI settings in bios to get it to show up, and when it did the graphics card wouldn’t anymore (altho the PCI lanes where supposedly not shared). I ended up using a sata drive. Mind you that hardware is around 8 years old.
Again, no expert at all, except in mess, so these are just hints for what they are worth.
