the 30 second crash is the same as that crash. If i dont push buttons to jump through the intros it crashes on AMD logo … if i push buttons and skip intros I can play for about 2 seconds before it crashes… it’s the same glitch… we should just call it the 30 second glitch in terms of trying to solve it.

anyone know if the vorpx update addresses it?

okay, we need to get this figured out. This game is too damn good!

So the whole “shutdown after logo screen error” is the same thing as the 30 sec timer error. Mine was the former, I then messed with something (I dont know what) which allowed me to click through the logo intros, and alas, I got kicked out (with no error message) to the desktop. We need geniuses on this stat.

well after much work I got it to load up and play for about 20 seconds then crash . Windows 8.1 64bit 7970

My rig works, but I can’t seem to get a good 3D effect in the settings.

AMD 8-core 8350 processor
Sapphire 7970 6gb video card
Steam version of Bioshock Infinite
Windows 7 64-bit
Had to disable Avira antivirus.

FYI I disabled head tracking and 3d within VorpX menu, but still crashing. Cheers.

Add my machine to the list of crashes with Bioshock Infinite at some random point in the startup menus before I actually get into the game world.

Latest nVidia 327.23 drivers
Twin Frozr MSI GTX 770 OC
i5 3570K @ 3.4GHz
8GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

I do have MSI Afterburner and MSI Gaming App installed, but it doesn’t matter if I run those utilities (in any mode) or not run the utilities at all, B.I. crashes. I have not tried completely uninstalling the MSI utilities though. My reasoning is those utilities are installed and I can run Skyrim and Borderlands 2 just fine (all I’ve had time to test so far), so it’s unlikely to be the MSI utilities causing the crash. But of course, with troubleshooting, until you actually nail it down to a real cause, everything stays on the table as a suspect :-)

I purchased my copy of BI directly through Steam, so I doubt the installation method is a factor.

Works fine on one my machines (older, running Windows 7), but I get the 30 sec crash on the other (newer, running Windows 8).

Perhaps it’s worth noting that even though BI starts through Steam on both machines, it does work fine on the one through which I initially installed from the DVD-ROMs (Windows 7), but does NOT work on the 2nd machine (Windows 8) through which I merely duplicate installed directly from my Steam online account without the DVD-ROMS.

This second to-be-installed-on Windows 8 machine was actually the first one I tried with vorpX as it was the newer faster one. As luck would have it, my DVD-ROMS have been damaged so unfortunately I can’t try re-installing from them on the Windows 8 non-working machine to see if it makes a difference.

I had Asus GPU Tweak installed, I exited that, but still get the crash. MY card is overclocked by default, so I don’t know if that might have something to do with it or not?!

Pretty much clean out of ideas at this point.

[Ralf]

Another thing to try: Some graphics cards come with monitoring/overclocking utilities (MSI Afterburner for example). Could anyone with the crash and one of these tools please check whether disabling (ideally uninstalling) it does make any difference? It’s just a guess, but sounds worth a try. Thanks in advance.

VSync shouldn’t make a difference. Already tried Vsync on and off, guessing that maybe very high framerates might trigger the problem. Apparently that is not the case.

I am well aware of this, I think you misunderstood my post. All I am saying is that turning off shadows, although a fine temporary fix, is not a solution to the issue. HELIX managed to fix shadows for 3DVision (for free I may add) so it’s not impossible for you to do this also. Clearly, even with HELIX’s mod not being compatible with this driver it can displace and move shaders etc (even if not correctly).

From a product I have paid money for & that advertised Skyrim as a supported game I’d expect more. Beta or nay, Skyrim was stated it was a working game. Yes, it “works” depending on how you personally interpret “working” (it doesn’t CTD on launch like BioShock Infinity at least), but it is really unplayable due to the many bugs I listed above. Without working water, sky box and scaled arms I would say the game is an unplayable mess. Which is shame.

I’m not trying to have a go or anything but so far other than the edge peek function (which is liable to be copied in some shape or form) I have been quite disappointed with VORPX in general. Even as a beta I expected the listed games to at least work well considering how few there are.

I hope you are not expecting the Z-Buffer mode to carry this product as many 3D enthusiasts will not touch fake 3D with a barge pole. Take a look at all the Crysis 2/3 threads out there.

If you intend to look into these issues then fair enough, just let us know and if possible provide some kind of ETA / priority list. Equally, if intend on leaving stuff broken in games or worse still disabled (as your original reply hinted) let us know and if at all possible where / how we get our money back.

You need to seriously look at posting a bunch of known issues on your “compatible” games list so people can at least make an informed purchase.

I’ve not tried turning vsync off yet, will try that later (when I get home), though I don’t have much hope it will make a difference.

[CylonSurfer]

Me also. I’ve tried everything to get this title to work and no joy as of yet.

[DrBeef]

I have the crash with both, I was running 320.49 and I updated to 327.23 to check but it made no difference.

Oh right, I may try another nvidia driver tonight. I still have 320.49
Do all people without crash have the newest driver?
