Game gets unresponsive after playing for 10 to 30 minutes - yandexx - 09-29-2015
Hello Thomas and all of Frictional,
SOMA is hanging here around after half an hour of playing, sometimes just after 10 minutes, for no clear reason.
It's not crashing - instead the window becomes unresponsive while the audio is still playing, busy Windows cursor appears. Then if I click the screen, it asks if I want to stop the program.
I have captured a dump using procdump, like this:
Code:
c:\Program Files\Procdump>procdump.exe -ma -h soma.exe c:\temp\soma.dmp

Code:
\Device\Video1
NVRM: Graphics TEX Exception on (GPC 1, TPC 3): TEX NACK / Page FaultI have GTX 560 Ti 1 GB with 355.82 drivers.
Windows 10 x64.
Tried with vsync and without.
I have attached SOMA native logs (hpl.log etc.) to the post.
I wonder who's at fault here, SOMA or not. No other games crash and I haven't seen nVidia events before in the event log.
Let me know if you need the whole dump. It's 600 MB compressed 7z. Or I could maybe make a mini-dump the next time the game crashes.
Or if you provide me with symbol files I guess I could try to use them.

Hmm... seems like a graphics driver crash. Do you have patch 1.02 installed? If yes, can you try if version 1.00 works?
RE: Game gets unresponsive after playing for 10 to 30 minutes - Sons - 09-30-2015
Same thing here with almost the same GPU: GTX 560
Also running on Windows 10.
I'm on GOG tho so have only tested on 1.00 since we don't have the patch here yet.
RE: Game gets unresponsive after playing for 10 to 30 minutes - nebej - 09-30-2015
That does seem like a GPU crash. Are you playing with any recording software active or anything else that might affect the GPU?
RE: Game gets unresponsive after playing for 10 to 30 minutes - Thomas - 09-30-2015
Your drivers are not up-to-date, so wanna try that. I would also advice to do a clean install, by uninstalling the current drivers before installing the new ones.

I won't go back to 1.0 to test, as I don't want missing levers or any other issues. However, interestingly, I've played the game for an hour from start when it was still unpatched and it hasn't hanged on me back then.

But I'm not running any recording software or Fraps/DXtory, and I have even disabled Steam overlay.

I doubt there were changes between these releases that solve these problems on their own though.
Thanks everyone, I'll report back with my findings, likely only next week though because of vacation.
RE: Game gets unresponsive after playing for 10 to 30 minutes - yandexx - 10-05-2015
OK after making what is called a "clean install" of 355.98 drivers, nothing has changed.
Commit memory usage is below limit, so that is not an out-of-memory situation.
All hangs (and crashes now, too!) happen in nvoglv64.dll from which I would conclude it is an nVidia OpenGL driver bug. Must be a Windows 10 driver specific issue too.
What do you think? Do you know what is the best way to report this to nVidia?
Edit: OK I've opened a support ticket with NVIDIA, we'll see how this goes.
RE: Game gets unresponsive after playing for 10 to 30 minutes - Spirit Juice - 10-07-2015
I'm having similar issues to yandexx. I was going to make a thread about it but saw this one instead. Here is a rar of the log, as the txt file is too large to attach on the forum and is too big to post on pastebin without pro. Sorry for the inconvenience on that part.
At the time of playing, I was streaming with Xsplit, but attempted to see if the issue resolved itself after shutting down Xsplit. It did not. Lowering the graphics to the lowest settings did not help either, as it seemed to be an issue whenever sounds were trying to be loaded. The problem seems to be inconsistent, as it started happening within the first 10 minutes of the game, but later on after a couple game restarts, it could go as far as maybe an hour before acting up again.
Since I last played last night, I made sure my video card drivers were up to date, checked game cache integrity, and even reinstalled the game. Unsure if this will fix things but will check back on this thread after playing.
RE: Game gets unresponsive after playing for 10 to 30 minutes - OrsoPedro - 10-07-2015
guys it's a problem specific to the GTX560 Ti - I had the same problem that yandexx is reporting and, after doing all possible twists and checks, I changed the card to a GTX 750 and the issue seems to be gone (played yesterday for more than 1 hour w/o problems).
Win 10 x64 here as well. No other problems on other games with my 560.

That's some cool info, thanks!
For now I was advised to use DDU to uninstall the drivers, this didn't help. Last advise from support was to set Power management mode to "Prefer maximum performance".
Unlikely to work, but I'll check that. Around a year ago there were a lot of issues with 560 Ti drivers where it would often crash, then they finally fixed it. The workaround I believe was the same, to set the power management mode.
