Shadowplay causing CTD?

[Caspella]

Does anyone know if Shadowplay or Nvidia drivers in general can cause CTD with Fallout 4 specifically? My game was playing fine yesterday and now it crashes to desktop when I enter combat. If I can snipe the enemies from a distance it seems to get around the issue. Also, the first combat encounter that caused CTD (repeatedly) involved a mutant hound that was having messed up animations. It was kinda moonwalking around...on its head. Sniping him allowed to me to get past that combat zone, but it keeps happening each time I enter combat with more than one enemy. The other combat zone was gunners attacking Finch Farm, and it was mostly too chaotic for me to see if any odd animations were happening. But I did think I saw a gunner down on the ground, as though incapped. Usually only settlers go down that way.

 

I ask if this can be caused by Shadowplay bc I installed it today before launching the game. I see that some people are having issues with the latest Nvidia driver in general, so I rolled back my driver. Still happening. I tried running the game with Shadowplay turned off, and it made it through combat (it crashed at that point two times prior) but after combat was over, it CTD again.

 

Or, has anyone had this issue with the latest patch by Beth? I see where people are having issues in workshop mode since the patch, but my workshop mode is working fine.

 

I do not have any mods that affect combat at all. But, I do have mods that affect armor so might that be an issue? I can't think of any mods I have that would affect animations either. I mostly just do clothes mods and settlement mods.

 

Oh, yeah, and my framerate was stable at the time of the crashes, and there was no error message. Just black screen, then desktop. The only other thing was that my controller began vibrating and it stuck that way after the game was crashed. Had to unplug it to get it to stop.

 

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Probably tomorrow I will start going through my mods looking for a problem, but I really suspect it is an Nvidia thing since turning off Shadowplay at least helped.

 

Thanks!

I'm using driver version 362.00, have a GTX 960 4Gb and the latest update... not having any problems myself. Running Shadowplay is not causing any problems either.

Slight necro.

 

But I find that Shadowplay gives me all kinds of issues. If I play FIFA 16 with it on it tends to crash my game randomly, same with Fallout 4. Sometimes my PC will even lock up. But it's only really since I've switched from 670 SLI to a 980 Ti, however I rarely, if ever, used it until now.
