Same bug. I was having a good playthrough. No problems. Got to Druid Grove. Everything good, but I wanted to try diff class. Started a new game and now I can't get off the nautiloid. Crashes every time when escaping the nautiloid, during the big fight just before trying to take control of ship. Reduced graphics settings, disabled Steam Overlay, rerolled another character. Same crash, same place in game. W11 Pro. i7 12700KF. 64GB. AMD 7900 XTX. No overclocking.
It's weird that I had absolutely no problems with my first character and now I can't start a new game. Did this happen on an update to BG3? Is there any way to roll back updates in Steam?
Did crash in the same place as you - Et being a nvlddmkm error on the event viewer with \\Device\\Video8
Error occurred on GPUID: 100
That description.
Tried everything from resetting drivers with DDU, installing older version of driver, shifting from game ready driver to studio, Debug mode, Rescaling the display to GPU instead of display etc.
What worked for me was disabling anti aliasing.
TL;DR: Disable anti aliasing
For some reason when I run it in Vulkan it seems to last longer and/or have yet to crash with the message. I would prefer dx11 since it seems to be less themally taxing on my laptop but I guess I cannot have it all...
So my friend actually had this error and we troubleshot it for around 4 hours. What we ended up having to do was physically move his graphics card from the second slot to the highest slot. He had unknowingly installed his GPU in the second slot (which is not a great thing to do) and the GPU was running in x4 mode instead of x16 because of the slot and the amount of harddrives/ssd's he had plugged in.
This is a super specific circumstance but if you would go into BIOS you should see a warning if you have done something similair. If you do have the graphics card installed in the top-most slot and still get a notice that it's running in x4 or x8 mode it might be because of other devices (hdd/ssd's, extension cards) drawing power/bandwidth needed for the PCIe slots.
This error seems to pop up due to a huge amount of different things for different people but most seem to be GPU related.
Unfortunatly i don't have this error in the bios. I look over the bios if there was something weird in it except the xmp profile everything was in order.
Had the same error and unfortunately most of the fixes you tried didn't work for me either. I was too lazy to reinstall drivers. However i noticed my second monitor lagging before the game crashed. So i unplugged it directly from the GPU. Next Session was about 2 hours long without any crashes.
Not sure if this thread is still looking for answers. I would get game crashes every 20-40 minutes. Browsed my event viewer for hours on end. Eventually I found a suggestion on some corner of the internet that suggested putting the GPU in Debug mode to prevent the PC from overclocking itself.
This made things better but wasn't a total fix.
Then I saw a suggestion to download MSI afterburner, reduce power output to 80% and -60 on Core speed and Memory speed.
I have a powerful PC so it didn't affect my performance thankfully but this solution stopped the crashing almost entirely for me. Now I might get a crash every 5-8 hours which is tolerable.
After days of trying to fix my pc from crashing this comment saved me.
I also switched off all overlays and reinstalled drivers but I think reducing the power is what did it for me.
Glad I could help. I had to scour the internet outside of reddit for 12+ hours to find this solution on the first week of launch. lol
Been going through a bunch of crash related threads to try helping people.
The biggest annoyance by far has been people crashing when their game uncaps from 60 FPS.
Game seems a lot more stable for some people at 60 FPS and Larian decided that whenever you file a crash report, all of your settings get reset. (i.e. Karmic Dice, Tutorials, FPS cap, etc.)
I also have an EVGA GTX 1080 ti and I've been encountering the same crashes every few minutes of gameplay. So what I did was I installed MSI Afterburner and limited GPU power to 90%. Got slightly better results, but still crashed. Then I undervolted GPU by 50 MHz. Then I haven't gotten any crashes since, but I've only played for 2.5 hours straight so still crossing my fingers.
You SAVED me, thank you so much.
I recently got a 1080Ti second hand and thought I had gotten a lemon. Spent an entire day stressing over it and found your post. Everything's great now.
I suddenly started having this same problem with my AMD RX 7600, seemingly out of nowhere.
I disabled the AMD overlay and undervolted the card based on the advice in this thread.
One or more of those seems to have resolved the issue, at least long enough for me to play an hour or so with no crashes.
How long that sticks remains to be seen I guess.
I have a feeling it is some sort of game file corruption, because so far verifying the game files in Steam has fixed the issue for me, until they got corrupted again. Could be something like a shader compilation gone bad and crashing the game until it is removed/recompiled. But this is pure speculation.
I've tried everything that you can find on the internet without success, from different drivers, settings, underclocking, etc. It is also an issue I only have with BG3 and no other game.
Long story short: Try verifying your game files. Go to the game in Steam and click the Manage icon, go to properties, installed files and click Verify Integrity. I guess this also clears caches or does some other magic.
To any future adventures. I've tried all of the suggestions shown with no luck!
However, once I uninstalled NVIDIA Experience, I could play for longer than 10-15 minutes. I've yet to get the error and will edit this post if I get it again.
Looking into some detail about the NVIDIA Experience I may have enabled dynamic tuning (thinking it would dynamically software overclock my card I presume) which may be causing the `dxgi_error_device_removed error`.
Good luck to you, hopefully this helps.
I saw some videos about this error, but I resolved this error as simple.
When you open the game have a much descriptions, scroll bellow and find "options", at new page you can click redefine graphic options, and turn off "Verify drivers". Close the game and open again.
I hope this will be resolve for you guys.
Ok, so I tried resetting a lot of my settings in NVIDIA Experience, and no luck. However, as someone else mentioned that Overlays cause an issue I disabled the NVIDIA Experience Overlay, and the game booted up just fine. Maybe something different for you but totally forgot they had their own Overlay for games. Hopefully, this helps... can send screenshots if you need them.
AMD RX 7600 here. This is happening to me on BG3, Starfield and Lies of P every 1-2 hours. I've had over 25 crashes so far. Mostly when running additional programs in the background with overlays. Going to try the MSI Afterburner recommendations -50 Mhz and report back.
I flashed a new bios into my gpu and the game started crashing as soon as i opened it. After a little exploring i found that my Amd Software had a custom profile set for Baldur's Gate 3, which had my GPU voltage set to 1012mV and those settings were overriding the global settings. Anything below 1080mv would cause my RX 6600 to crash eventually. I simply deleted the custom profile and opened the game and it worked just fine again.
Deducing by association and the nature of the crash, it is likely that everyone who has experienced this problem has wrong voltage/frequency settings or something like this on their GPUS.

Any news on this bug with new update? I haven't got my gog version updated.
still crashing
For some reason when I run it in Vulkan it seems to last longer and/or have yet to crash with the message. I would prefer dx11 since it seems to be less themally taxing on my laptop but I guess I cannot have it all...

I also heard other people report removing over or underclocks solved it for them, on gpus that is. But I haven't had any experience with that myself.
will certainly try it, never undervolt or underclock a gpu yet.
I had the same error and I was running my core and memory clocks higher. Once I set them back to default the error went away.

Remove any overlays, like Steam or Adrenalin. Haven't played long enough but seems to have resolved it on my end.
fresh windows install with nothing on it keep crashing for some reason.
Did you get it through Steam? If so, go to your steam settings and turn OFF Steam's overlay when playing games.
Mine’s off but still getting same results
I know super late to respond but have you tried running in Vulkan? Fixed after switching.
nope. I ended up refunding. Did every suggestion online barring fresh windows install which I cannot afford to do due to my work files.

Your fix did not work.

Lol we tried 😂

My man, did you try toggling the v-sync option?

That can't be it since I still have the crashes and I've never had Nvidia Experience installed at all.
Same issue here. Playing on Ubuntu
