Fix the crashing!

  I'm also getting consistent crashing, but my entire pc doesn't crash and I am able to retrieve crash logs. I'm averaging probably a half hour between crashes.
  
  System specs:
  5900x
  32GB PC3600 ram
  rtx 3080
  
  If there's somewhere to upload the crash.dmp file I'm happy to do that. All of my crashes have basically the same info in my error.log, with the crash being a d3d11.dll access violation
  
  d3d11.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
  in module d3d11.dll at 0033:d57fc370.

  It's totally random. Sometimes I can play for 8 hours straight and sometimes it crashes everything 10-30 minutes.

  I'm having bluescreen crashes randomly. Sometimes I'll be able to play for a few hours, sometimes a minute or two. I also lose a bunch of resources each time like it resets my character inventory/map back to whenever it saved last.
  
  I think this could be an issue with the GPU drivers, I get an WHEA_uncorrectable_error code which seems to be related to graphics card drivers which I uninstalled and installed the latest ones.
  
  I've also spoken to someone else having this issue, they're using a NVIDIA 20xx GPU and the 30xx series uses the same drivers as the 20xx series per the nvidia website so I think it's likely that.

  Crashing is consistently happening around 2 hours in, and ranges from initiating a bug report to completely freezing my computer.
  
  Specs:
  i9 9900k
  16GB ram
  Geforce rtx 3070
  
  All manner of troubleshooting does not seem to work. I've tried:
  
  - reinstall
  
  - drivers up to date
  
  - verify game files
  
  - playing at various graphics settings / de-selecting intensive settings (e.g. sun shafts off)
  
  - stress test of GPU and memory
  
  - replaced Power Supply Unit with a spare
  
  - replaced SSD
  
  - ran as admin
  
  Games on this build have not struggled at all

  I have the D3d11.dll 0xc0000005 crash as well. It appears to be related to a "RenderTexture" call that fails in player.log?

  My game only crashes while I'm inside of Crypts, otherwise runs completely fine. Sometimes it crashes as soon as I enter the crypt, other times it will take 20-30 seconds before it crashes. I've tried re-installing, drivers are up to date, nothing running in the background, running as admin, checking file integrity, nothing seems to do the trick.

  ODev says that all of these crashes, with exactly the same error code, from a wide variety of systems of different specs, is "probably not a bug in the game" and he won't look into the issue. Listen, I get it: one guy, a lot on his plate right now. But let's not outright dismiss this as "lol players PCs just suck"? Please? This is CLEARLY a GAME BUG that needs to be addressed, not outright ignored!

  Solution to unityplayer.dll 0xc0000005 error
  
  3900x / 3090 / 3600 Mhz RAM setup here.
  
  Try to downclock your RAM - disable XMP/DOCP. This completely solved my crashes. Seems that is a bug in the Unity framework that the Valheim devs are using.

  My Pc got died it just stops responding even to the reset button, with a terrible sound of processor death in the headphones. Yesterday it happened 4 times after which I reinstalled the game and I managed to play 5 hours in a row. Today everything is going around again, I play for 5-10 minutes and the computer dies again. I hope this can be fixed, because I forced four of my friends to buy this game, and now all that remains is to sit and watch their stream on discord.. I haven't spent my vacation so sad yet.

  Mine crashes sometimes within 2 minutes sometimes within 10-15, and every once in a while I'll get lucky and it will run for a couple hours. Freezes entire system forcing reboot. Usually doesn't save anything when I crash. Very annoying. Wish there was a manual save.

  Always happens after a little while, sometimes crashes my full pc but most of the time just the program.
  I uninstalled all the things that the web says might cause this (Afterburner, Overlays), Windows is freshly installed so no unneccesary drivers or software.

  Hello, I was very excited to play this game and I'm ready for a refund. I have not even gotten to play it. As soon as it gets to the menu, the game crashes, full reboot, no blue screen. All of my Nvidia drivers are up to date, running Windows 10, DirectX 12, graphics card is Geforce GTX 1050, 36GB ram, installed all C++ redistributables I could find, ran as administrator, adjusted performance settings. No overclocking. Just sadness. Please fix this!!

  Whole PC crashing right after loading into a new game (sometimes while I'm flying in on the crow, other times when I'm walking around in the first 5 minutes). When the crash happens, signal to monitors are going, audio from game and discord is gone, fans on computer still runs. I have to hold the power button on the computer to force it to turn off. Nothing out of the ordinary in player.log. Is there another place I can look for a crash log?

  Game freezes, I'm able to move mouse cursor, and occasionally log out of the game (after memorizing button locations) as the game appears to run for 5-20 seconds after the image freezes. If I can log out successfully my character state is saved and no crash is reported. If not, I get a crash log and my character is reverted to an earlier state.
  
  Most of my crashes are with d3d11.dll and one for UnityPlayer.dll. Crash logs and dumps available.

  Yeah few minutes into the game and the whole computer just shuts down and attempts to restart and fails to, like it doesn't want to POST I have to do a hard shutdown and try again. Really odd.

  Getting the same. Started this weekend.. I thought i was because of corrupt char or world file because it's crashes on autosave. I have tried everything, appdata folder, removing steam cloud sync, but it still happens and make the game unplayedable eventhough I love it so much.

  Started on day one with the crashes for me. Every few hours. Losing at most an hour's work each time. Then I got a load error when trying to load my world. Had to delete the new save files and use the .old saves (lost about 8 hours work) so I started a new world. Luckily I have been manually backing up saves as I then got the world eater bug after 40 hours in this one and then to top it off the crashing has ramped up and I can't get past about 10 mins in game. Nothing fixes it.

  I am having the very same issue as everyone with the error: d3d11.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
  
  System Specs:
  i7-7700k (overclocked to 5.0ghz)

  At first I was able to walk around the game for about an hour but at random my pc just rebooted itself. After that its now about 15-20 minutes like clockwork the game will freeze and I have force close the game in order to get out of it. I tested with upping voltages, turning off overclockes on both cpu and gpu but the issue remains. This is the only game I have issues with in this way. I have my system on a custom water loop so temps are not an issue. Ram was tested with Memtest and that passed fine. This makes the game unplayable for me so I hope someone resolves the issue because it seems like a great game but I am gonna have to pass on playing till this is fixed.

  Same, initially started day 1 of playing but every 5-6 hours. over the past weekend its more often sometimes 5 minutes - 2 hours in. Also more recently it freezes my computer up to the point I have to press the button to shut down. I have updated everything in this thing, software, bios, all of it. I have closed everything in the background, and still nothing. I am resorts with just running to small camps and beefing them up, not being able to raid with the bros since im a liability if i carry anything to shiny its gone.

  These are almost certainly driver or hardware config issues. Direct3D library crashes are very rarely issues with the game they occur in.
  
  I would strongly suggest all those having these issues investigate their memory/graphics configurations (especially their memory speeds/voltages if overclocked or using XMP/AMP/DOCP profiles) and video drivers before continuing to post their issues here as a bug with Valheim.

  Game is fantastic, but keeps crashing regularly, every 10- 15 minutes if I'm lucky. I ensured my Windows 10 was updated, my Nvidia drivers were updated, I verified my game files, uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted my computer after all updates/ reinstalls. I shot my settings down to the lowest grade possible to get a few more minutes of gameplay before the inevitable crash. My computer doesn't crash, just the game. Please fix this issue so I can enjoy the game, it really sucks to be halfway through building a shelter only to crash and have to start gathering materials all over and rebuild.

  Problem with crashing after 15-30 mins of gameplay. Blue Screen "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" (Windows 10)
  
  Yesterday I've managed to play 2 hours after applying the FPS fix from this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/lizxq9/valheim_fps_fix_benchmark_picture_guide_gained_an/
  
  But today (I re-prioritized process) problems came back, unable to play more than 10 mins, whole computer freezes (including sound), and after ~20 secs, comes the BSOD.
  No relevant info in Event Viewer, and a memory dump file of 830MB, don't have the courage to browse it.

  No luck finding a solution so far. A Helper on the discord went through a bunch of troubleshooting with me.
  This is the crash log:

  Also having crashes, anywhere from 1 minute in to 10 minutes in.. I think the longest I've played may have been somwhere between 10 and 15 minutes.
  
  Its not a blue screen of death or anything, everything just straight freezes and I cant CTRL+ALT Delete out, i just have to restart. Ive run a a systems overlay
  when playing and there's no spikes or anything, CPU,GPU and Ram usage is normal and temps are fine.
  
  I can play other games fine but its just Valheim :(

  i7-7700k
  Have tried using both NVIDIA GTX 1060 3gb and a AMD 6800xt with a 850W PSU

  I've tried,
  Reinstalling the game
  Lowering in game gaphics,
  Turning Windows game mode on and off
  Have even reinstalled Windows 10
  I've tried “Command Prompt (Admin)” sfc and no issues
  Updated Windows and GPU to latest updates (this was tested on both the 1060 & 6800xt)
  Bios has also been updated to latest version.
  Have added Valheim to the Windows graphics performance prefernce
  I've tried running steam as an admin

  Having the Unity crash window popup, occasionally I get a complete PC crash as well forcing a restart. Game ran great for ~40hr, now, unstable. I can play at min settings for longer, but at max settings the game runs maybe 5-30m before crashing again. Doesn't matter what I am doing, walking, running, killing stuff, crafting, this biome, that biome...

  I have the same crashes as everyone else with an access violation every 30 minutes, making the game unplayable. Radeon Fury X with i7 core.

  My game crashed constantly, every time at the menu or when starting a game and checked the error log that says:
  UnityPlayer.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
  
  Tried everything but nothing helped until I set the CPU affinity to 2 cores in the Task Manager. Choose Details and then right click on the Valheim process and "Set affinty". That seemed to solve it for me.
