[ssakash]

you mentioned GPU driver in the topic title ? anything related to it during the crash ?

[x8jason8x]

Yes, it pops up the windows bubble informing me that the gpu driver crashed and recovered. Alternatively, pcsx2 has stopped working bubble (on fast boot) and the program close options.

[refraction]

have you got your resolution in gsdx past native? that game is pretty heavy.

[x8jason8x]

No, I've left everything at default just trying to get it to load.

[ssakash]

Could you reproduce this behaviour in any other game using PCSX2 ?

[x8jason8x]

Yes, it acts like Hitman Contracts on crash, which if I'm not mistaken, is a known unplayable?

[willkuer]

Tried updating the gpu driver to the latest version?

If I see it correctly you use 347.88 while 353.30 is available...

[Bositman]

Current Renderer: Direct3D9(Hardware mode) <-- this is just wrong.

[willkuer]

The message itself is wrong of that he uses dx9?
He mentioned that he tried different backends.

Edit: Actually he said using different hw/sw modes...

@ OP have you tried Dx10 and OGL in HW or SW mode?
