W10 and games crashing

[David Feifer]

This has been an ongoing issue for me as well. Lots of SWTOR this weekend since it was double xp weekend and still crashing for me though after changing video drivers not as much. I have an amd hd7950 and windows wanted to automatically install the beta wddm 2.0 drivers. Unfortunately I was having serious issues with this driver and could not run a game more then 10-15 minutes before it was hardlocking my system forcing a power reset. Running games in windowed mode seemed to help with the HL but was still having issues with games locking on me at the same interval. Went in to local group policy and changed automatic updating to notify and NOT to install recommended updates and installed the latest 15.3 beta driver from amd <not wddm 2.0> and now I am able to play SWTOR and other games for 4-6 hours before a crash. Greatly increases the time between crashes but does not eliminate them. Hoping the 10049 build I am downloading right now helps.

Updated to build 10049 and it appears that there are quite a few undocumented fixes applied. The driver issue I was having before appears to be fixed and I am using the wdm 2.0 driver for my card that was crashing every 5 minutes and haven't had an issue so far. Things actually seem like they look better and my fps is up.
