Try setting interlacing to auto or none

In fairness I havent read the entire thread, but when I get random crashes that have the Windows standard crash message, it means my overclock isnt stable. If you overclock, go back to stock as a test to see if it resolves the issue. If so, just adjust your overclock a little. Only takes a second Smile

Also are you using cheats? How about save states?

I know. It was 7 pages and I wanted to help but I didnt want to take the 10-ish minutes to read it all. My bad Smile

After reading the post you linked to, it talks about OC'ing but not about savestates or cheats.

This seems to be the cure! I put interlacing at none and I haven't had a crash for the past 3 hours! I'll keep playing to see if this keeps up. Thanks! Laugh

I have set interlacing to auto and it crashed around 15 times in DX11. But I did not have a single Crash in DX9 so far. If someone could reproduce the DX11 crash with my savestate posted earlier and confirm that the very same save state does not crash with DX9, it might be possible to find the cause of the bug.

Does anyone with frequent crashes use the DX11 version of gsdx and and does it still crash when changing settings to DX9? And does anyone without crashes use DX11?

Hey etking, I tried your suggestion first, the crashes were more infrequent for a while but it started crashing on me again until I put interlacing to none. Seeing that the game was working great, I switched back to DX11 and the game is still running as smooth as butter.

mine's on auto, maybe none fixed it, or maybe a revision did. either way..after 7 pages it was fixed. you didn't pwn nothin Tongue

Yeah I know no one could provide a solution Saiki hadn't though of, I'm used to you being like that Tongue

Anyway for other cases, m_merge null messages can be caused by setting interlacing to some value in the GUI (seen in dragonball games which insta-crash). You can still cycle with F5 normally after booting
