I'm on a 980 using the 347.25 drivers, but every time I get into a game, it drops to (at a guess) 1 fps, with the screen intermittently going black. Eventually it stops responding altogether and crashes to desktop with the "display driver has stopped responding but has recovered" message.

Tried running it as administrator, tried running it directly from both exe files, tried putting it in XP compatibility mode - does anyone have any ideas?

Edit: It seems to have been down to having Nvidia Shadowplay enabled. If you're having the same issue, and you're on Nvidia, make sure that is turned off.

I've gone to my Nvidia control panel and I don't see Shadowplay as one of the options to disable. Would this be shader cache?

Appreciate it!

No, that Shadowplay thingy keeps a running video of your last 20 minutes or so gameplay so you can YouTube it and stuff. I've not got Shadowplay installed neither, and SWGB still crashes a lot.

The only thing I can suggest is try it running under Windows 98 / ME compatability mode and also check the "turn off advanced text services" and the "disable visual themes" boxes. It still crashes but not as frequently!

Thanks a lot for the tip! My game crashed all the time before getting even to matches, but when turned the Shadowplay off, now it works like a charm :)
