This issue has been ongoing for months now without resolution. Back in June, users were reporting Event ID 153 TDR crashes with driver 566.36 ( The latest patch is crashing video cards ), and I’m here to report that the problem persists in patch 12.0.
Current Setup:
-
GPU: RTX 5090 (stock settings, non-OC)
-
Driver: 581.57
-
Game API: DirectX 12
Issue Description: Random driver crashes (Event ID 153 from nvlddmkm) occur during gameplay with no predictable trigger. The screen freezes for approximately 20 seconds while the driver performs a TDR reset and recovers. This can happen at any point during gameplay: idle in cities or during combat.
This is the same core issue reported months ago, just with updated hardware and drivers. The fact that this persists across multiple major patches and driver versions suggests this needs dedicated attention from the development team.
I’m hoping this can finally be prioritized for investigation in the 12.0 builds.
