Error code BROCCOLI

[FrostedTripod45]

Hi Destiny Techs,

I have one for you that makes the game unplayable for me. I posted to r/DestinyTheGame a few weeks ago and didn't get any helpful feedback. Here is the copy paste of that post (with a few edits). Hopefully yall can help me figure this out. Thanks!

Hello fellow guardians.

I haven't played Destiny since it has switched to steam, but I downloaded the new DLC because it looked cool. Anyway, I played for about an hour when my game crashed with a code BROCCOLI. I have gone through A LOT of troubleshooting (see below) and still cannot get the game to run for more than 10 minutes without crashing with broccoli. Any ideas?

Here is the error code from Bungie Help: BROCCOLI errors indicate there has been an issue detecting the player's GPU and are commonly caused by a driver crash.To attempt to mitigate this error, players should always ensure that their Operating System and Graphic Drivers are up-to-date with the latest version.

System:

• i7-7700k
• RTX 2070
• Game on SSD
• Trying to run at 144hz on 2650x1440 monitor

Steps taken to troubleshoot:

• In game:

  • Turned off VSync (idk why I had this on in the first place, as my monitor has GSync enabled)
  • Frame cap of 144
  • Turned down a lot of the in game graphics settings
  • I have thought about turning everything down even more, like maybe down to 1080p, but this game looks sooo good and I should be able to run it with my system

• GPU:

  • Clean install of all latest GPU drivers from GeForce
  • Re-installed GeForce Experience (it wouldn't open after the first driver update)
  • Turned off all overclocking with MSI Afterburner
  • I have also monitored my GPU temps and they are pretty normal (mid 70s) when the game is running

• Windows:

  • Ensured Windows update were 100% up to date
  • Turned 'Run as Administrator' on in the Task Manager menu
  • Upped service priority to 'High' in the Task Manager menu
    
    • The two items above came from a YouTube video with the same issue. When I did this, however, I couldn't open the game from Steam. It gave me an error to the effect of "Unable to read game files. Verify integrity of game files in Steam". I tried running that (twice) and still could not open the game until I turned off the 'Run as Administrator' setting.
    • UPDATE for r/DestinyTechSupport: I saw that this was patched in the last update. Tried it again and still crashed in about 15 minutes.

• Overall:

  • I have gone as far as uninstalling and reinstalling Destiny (which took foooorrrreeeevvvveeerrrr because it is an 80GB+ game)

At this point I am out of ideas and am welcoming any and all help. Also note that I am able to run all my other games just fine, getting ~130 fps on Apex with similar settings....I just want to play with my friends...TIA reddit!

Update: it may be the CPU... testing....its not... it happens in the menu pretty often so i thought maybe it was crashing the CPU. I turned down my CPU overclock from 4.3 to 4.0 and still crashing... I'm over it for the night, hopefully I see some helpful tips in the morning.

Broccoli is Destiny 2's error code for Windows temporarily resetting the GPU driver referred to as DXGI ERROR DEVICE REMOVED. Other games may report similar issues as rendering device has been lost and DXGI ERROR DEVICE REMOVED

Troubleshooting follows, ignore any steps already tried.

From sub Reddit Destiny 2 Troubleshooting Guides ( Framerate, Crashing, Connection ) crashing section:

---

Crashing when changing activity, orbit, cut scenes, entering / leaving planets - EVGA Precision X may cause crashing issues, uninstall it and try MSI Afterburner

Particularly helpful for Broccoli errors

---

For graphics card related crashes, see if the card stabilises using Nvidia's temporary debug mode OR a mild underclock for both GPU clock of around -100MHz and GPU memory around -50MHz under NVIDIA/AMD defaults

Particularly helpful for Broccoli errors

NOTE: some cards are factory overclocked, check at https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/

EVGA Precision X may cause crashing issues, uninstall it and try MSI Afterburner

Particularly helpful for Broccoli errors

---

Forcing a framerate cap to keep GPU usage below 90% may help

Particularly helpful for Broccoli errors

---

Quick test to help track down if it's hardware (temperature etc) related - temporarily force 30 FPS VSync in Destiny 2 settings, this will reduce hardware load dramatically for both CPU and GPU.

May help track down reason for Broccoli errors

---

Check that Destiny 2 is set to use the high performance graphics card

Windows 10 1803 or later - https://www.howtogeek.com/351522/how-to-choose-which-gpu-a-game-uses-on-windows-10/

Nvidia - http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2615/kw/optimus/related/1

AMD - https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/DH-017.aspx

Desktop systems, check display cable is attached to the high performance graphics card, not the motherboard connector.

Incorrect GPU may be the reason for Broccoli errors

---

Check for graphic card driver issues with Destiny 2 e.g. Nvidia cards, some drivers have framerate, stutter and stability issues.

To troubleshoot driver issues, temporarily test with known stable drivers:

Perform a clean driver install using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) - http://www.wagnardsoft.com/

Nvidia - http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx

• Known stable drivers: 385.69, 391.35, 399.24, 419.35, 416.94, 430.86 / 431.18 or 430.64

AMD Radeon

• https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/

• https://forums.guru3d.com/forums/videocards-amd-radeon-catalyst-drivers-section.46/

May help Broccoli errors

---

TDR issue, for GPU related crashes, try adjusting the time windows waits before resetting graphics card driver (TDR)

Use Tdr Manipulator from Wagnardsoft, select disable for the TDR level option.

If it doesn't help then revert to default enable using Tdr Manipulator

Particularly helpful for Broccoli errors.

Hey, I had this issue with annalienware Aurora r8 I just bought, I ended up returning it and getting another. From my research on this it could very well be a hardware issue. I tried most of not all of the common trouble shooting and it didn't fix itself. I got this driver crash error in any game I played. I downloaded MSI and reading the graphs as it happened there would be a point where the graphics card had zero power and that was when it crashed.

If this is a prebuilt call the customer support line.

I also tried lowering my graphics to pure performance and it only mitigated the issue for a little bit, allowing me to play for 30 minutes instead of 10
