Thank you so much! I was crashing every hour before this!

#16

I played for about 4.5 hours last night after extracting those files without a single crash. Going to bump my fps cap back up to 144 tonight. Looks like this might be the fix!

#17

Did not work for me. Still crashing.

#18

Is this still working for you? I’m about to try it after everything else has failed. I also have the same mobo and gpu as you.

#19

Bumped my FPS back up, and started crashing again… This is unfortunate.

#20

I’m back to crashing even with fps capped at 60. It was fun while it lasted…

#21

Same here…looks like there might have been some minor patch or something that messed things up again.

#22

This worked for me for several more hours…Game keeps freezing/crashing.

So I figured I might as well compile some of the fixes I’ve found for the crashing issues I see often. Now, I see a lot of people recommending elaborate solutions like “reinstall your drivers” or “reinstall windows.” As some of us know, that ■■■■ don’t work. Neither does rolling back your graphics driver (probably I don’t know, who cares.) Also DX12 is busted to ■■■■, if it works for you, good, but it likely won’t.

So! Here are some fixes. If absolutely none work, go for reinstalling your drivers or windows if you’re that desperate I suppose. (Also seriously, update your drivers first, Driver Booster is free and easy.)

Also make sure you’re running the Epic Games Launcher in administrator mode, sidesteps a lot of issues. Namely that LS-0013 or whatever one.

Also also, Windows has been breaking things left and right with their wonderful “fixes.” It’s frustrating, and saddening but there’s nothing we can really do about that unfortunately.

For:
182f0c7b Borderlands3 0x0000000040000000 + 182e2bb7 KERNEL32 0x000000003ea70000 + 17bd4 ntdll 0x00000000401e0000 + 6cee1

or “pak decompression failed.”

I went to E:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\DirectXRedist in the epic games folder (check whatever drive you have it on.) Unpacked all of those zipped files into that folder and now I’m able to play :smiley:

I also capped my fps to 120 (using a 144 hz monitor) and turned on vsync but I’m sure those are unrelated but figured I should mention just in case.

Either GeForce Experience of Razer Synapse causes 100% gpu memory usage (memory leak.) Close em. I don’t care to figure out which one someone else can.

Harmless, and may solve issues. I have no sure idea, I tried multiple solutions at once then ran the game. I’m a programmer, not a QA tester, and I’m definitely not getting paid for this.

Turning off cloud saves seems to work for some people, and also will protect you from corrupted saves too so might as well just flip that switch.

Go into NVIDIA control panel, go to manage 3d settings, find “Power Management Mode”, change it to anything but that default.

Run a command prompt as admin, type in sfc /scannow. If windows says you’re in the clear, good, if not you likely need a restart and that may clear up some issues.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth should help with any disk issues. Again, run in an admin command prompt.

Follow that if it says your pc is forked. I’m not gonna retype it you lazy lizard.

Feel free to post more fixes. Good luck!

you wouldn’t have any idea what could fix my issue of. “Crashing the second I click launch” would you? I’ve tried every fix under the sun that I can think of, drivers, bios, hard reinstalls of both epic and bl3 and disabling cloud saves. But my game just crashes instantly when I try to launch it. It was working finr until 9-15-19 and I haven’t gotten the game to launch since.

#25

Post whatever stacktraces/crash logs you got and I can try. No promises. If you happen to get any Unreal Engine crash logs (Crash Context.xml, just open it in notepad) those would help.

Try creating a shortcut to the game .exe and then set it to Run as Administrator.

Here you go friend, good luck. Gearbox doesn’t let you upload files like that so heres this.

yeah I’ve tried that, it does nothing. Still crashes instantly.

#29

So, bad news, I’ve got this same exact error currently and even after all of those fixes above it’s still going on for me. I’m attributing it to the recent windows shenanigans that is causing memory leak. I’ve yet to find a solid solution but I’ll definitely add it here if I do.

wouldn’t the only real answer be, make windows fix it? Like that’s going to freakin happen.

Well, that’s the surefire easy way sure. I’ll keep trying out other things I see and add them as confirmed if they work for me.

Where can I see crash data if pc shuts down and restarts on its own?
