On this panel, click 'Manage 3D Settings', which I have highlighted with a RED box.

You'll be prompted with the following panel below.

It may take a couple of seconds to open up, so be patient and wait at least 30 seconds. Search within Programs and Files, on the bar shown in the picture, for 'NVidia Control Panel', and open it up. I am now able to have hours upon hours of gaming sessions without a single crash, black screen, flicker, nada!įeel free to check the Solution window below to remove the hassle from your Warframe gaming experience!īelow I've created a very detailed explanation of the steps you should take in order to disable CUDA, for NVidia graphics driver users, which is the sole solution to fixing black-screen crashes, cold crashes, and any lack of response from your graphics driver whilst playing Warframe. I essentially replicated the solution I discovered on APB: Reloaded, with Warframe, and voila! The game no longer crashes. But it's a bunch of boring technicalities which, if you were genuinely interested in, you could Google it. I could go into detail as to what CUDA is, what benefits it provides by having it enabled, and so forth. It's a feature that comes along with NVidia called CUDA. Thus, shortly after finding out what the issue was, I found the solution. Well, after countless tests and having gone through countless logs on what the issue may have been, i found one factor that had been affecting the way in which my graphics driver (one of the many plagued by this Cold Crash issue) would respond to requests made by the game engine. Sometimes you'd be fortunate enough for your PC to respond with a "Your Graphics Driver has stopped responding", following promptly by responding, however at the cost of your game being completely unresponsive - being forced to close the game via your Task Manager. Not too long ago, a game by the name of APB: Reloaded had a similar issue in which the engine it was running on would force certain NVidia graphics cards to cold crash after about 20-30 minutes of playing. You're frustrated that you can't have a gaming session on Warframe for longer than 30 minutes before the imminent black-screen of doom attacks!įear not Tenno, for a solution to this has arisen! You're lost, confused, not sure why no other game presents you with this issue aside from Warframe. Well, this is what's known as a Cold Crash. :)Īre you one of the many Tenno's unfortunate enough to have faced the game-breaking bug which results in either your graphics driver ceasing to respond and/or your monitor going completely black, sometimes without responding, forcing you to hard-restart your PC? I decided to create this thread due to every thread related to this issue being unanswered/unsolved.
