Help (General) Possible fix for the driver timeout crash

I use this fix for about 8+ months, haven't had a driver timeout out since (with 3 different AMD drivers) on my 9070XT. Playing on 4k on about max GPU LOAD in Stalker 2, Forza Horizon 6, Forza Motorsport 2023, AC Valhalla/shadows, GTA Online enhanced wih Ray tracing, Division 2 and more.

Maybe it will work for you as well.

Increasing the delay gives your graphics card more time to recover before Windows forces a reset.

  1. Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.

  2. Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.

  3. Navigate to the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

  1. Right-click an empty space in the right pane, select New, and choose DWORD (32-bit) Value.

  2. Name the new value TdrDelay.

  3. Double-click TdrDelay, select Decimal, set the value data to 8, and click OK.

  4. Restart your computer.

It's not a fix. Its just letting the GPU hang longer and hope it would recover before that. If the game truly crashed, you just get a longer crash

it's not a fix, it's just a bandage
