Hello, @bkzland  

 

Thank you for your time. 

 

Please try this workaround to play the game using DirectX11 API and let us know the results: 

 

To do this, launch Steam -> Chorus -> Right-click -> Properties -> Parameters -> add line: -dx11 

 

Best regards,

Hi @bkzland,


Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities And for all the valuable information. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this might have caused you. Please help me clarify the following in order to assist you: 


  • Did the issue happen with older drivers? 
  • Did you have any other graphics card prior to this one? 



Best regards,

Hi Carlos, this PC is a fairly new build, about two weeks old at this time.

I didn't try any other driver version yet. Do you recommend I test a specific version?

No other graphics card was used or installed in this PC prior.

 

Edit: anticipating a suggestion to downgrade, I did just that. The crashing behavior happens in exactly the same way on the stable driver version 31.0.101.4314 after downgrading from the beta driver. ssu.txt after downgrade and crash attached.

Hi Carlos, appreciate the reply, thank you for the suggestion.

 

I went through the procedure exactly as described, however no change present.

 

1. downloaded 101.4314 driver

2. downloaded ddu self extracting archive, extracted it

3. activated safe boot in msconfig, rebooted into safe mode

4. used ddu to remove both ati and intel drivers, rebooted to normal

5. installed driver

 

In the game Chorus, the crash can still be replicated the exact same way.

 

1. load save game (post-enclave checkpoint in the story)

2. scan for nearest activity, head to nearest activity

3. crash happens with same error message

 

ssu report is attached.

 

Kind regards

Hello Jocelyn, thank you very much for the suggestion.

 

I just tried it and can confirm that forcing dx11 when launching the game does fix this particular crashing issue.

 

Kind regards
