DeLayDesign Posted August 3, 2025 Share Posted August 3, 2025 Is anyone else experiencing Chief Freezing up while searching for materials?! I've never experienced this before. I did just update my graphics card yesterday... but is anyone else having issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLayDesign Posted August 3, 2025 Author Share Posted August 3, 2025 It appears to be an issue with the newest Graphics Driver from Nvidia. I rolled back the driver and now the issue is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffsCris Posted August 4, 2025 Share Posted August 4, 2025 Disabling ray tracing fixed it for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davaze Posted December 30, 2025 Share Posted December 30, 2025 Running CA X17 on RTX2080TI with latest NVIDIA game ready drivers and also crashes. Tried running CA X12 and works like a charm when ray tracing etc. Seems like a problem with CA X17 to me and not the driver. It would be crazy to use outdated drivers to get a latest version of CA running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted December 31, 2025 Share Posted December 31, 2025 (edited) @davaze I don't think X12 even had CPU raytracing so you are comparing apples to oranges. X17 is going to take advantage of features of the video card that X12 doesn't use so it should be no surprise that it can run into problems that X12 won't. As for using outdated drivers, seems more like a video card issue than a Chief issue to me, but regardless, you just need to find a driver that works.
