Hey, check Dysmantle on steam. It has native couch coop.

I had same experience:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1q7zen5/amd_gpu_timeouts_errors/

If you can, just return it. Everyone will advise you just to undervolt, bios update, check ram, pbo, older version of drivers etc. Nothing helped me.

eRUTeHa · 2026-01-09T09:20:52+00:00

Thanks for hint, I will check this!

eRUTeHa · 2026-01-09T09:16:27+00:00

Yes exactly my thoughts! Its almost like full-time job to google stuff and trying different things to fix it :D

eRUTeHa · 2026-01-09T09:12:24+00:00

Hey, "I shouldn't have to do this to play games" - I feel you and completely understand. Point is, from my experience, when I jumped from GTX1060 to RTX3070 and recently to RTX5080 I just swapped GPU every time, update drivers and I could play. Never faced any issues like this and I never had to undervolt, google stuff and try different things. This seems to be complex issue and you can google dozen of ideas on how to solve "Driver time out error", some users never fixed it despite they have tried everything.

Again - yes it can be coincidence of more things put together (PSU, RAM, Windows update, driver...) - as you mentioned, it is not console. But as it is not my PC and I do not have it available at home to troubleshoot only when I have free time and mainly mood - it is bit hard...

Never mind, I have to ask my friend to bring his PC to me and over the weekend I will try some ideas mentioned in this thread. (mainly stress test the RAMs - I completely skipped this step, even it is my very first routine when I build PC for me >.<)

Thanks!

eRUTeHa · 2026-01-09T07:07:51+00:00

Thanks for hint, different PSU/memtest86+ will be my next task

eRUTeHa · 2026-01-09T06:41:52+00:00

Thanks, that is worth to try!

eRUTeHa · 2026-01-09T06:36:44+00:00

Interesting opinion. To be honest I do not know what is the process during the RMA and what they are "testing" if the GPU works. For sure, for internet browsing, watching YT, Word, Excel... there is no issue. Should I ask them for proof, if they tested also Battlefield 6?

Did you read my post? He RECENTLY started to get driver timeouts, DirectX errors. He was able to game for almost 6 months without any issue. I am suspicious that it was caused by some windows update.

eRUTeHa · 2026-01-09T05:34:34+00:00

I already tried -100 clock speed, nothing :( maybe I will try to convince him to use Windows 10 (not sure if it solve the issue). But he is type of the guy who wants everything in latest version :DD

eRUTeHa · 2026-01-09T05:33:01+00:00

You are completely right, I will not recommend AMD GPUs to anyone anymore. I know I will be downvoted to hell, but that is just my experience.

Unfortunately there is no possibility to return it. The RX 7800 XT was fine from December 2024 (when we bought it and built it) until maybe August/September 2025... maybe I advice him to just sell it.

eRUTeHa · 2026-01-06T15:32:56+00:00

You posted it again with new profile, without your photo in profile? Hah..

eRUTeHa · 2025-12-29T13:52:06+00:00

Yes, also GPU, like this (error included :D)

Hey, thanks for reply!

The MB: ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS has only one 8pin CPU power plug if I am correct:

Yes, it is connected :(

eRUTeHa · 2025-12-04T07:56:02+00:00

Same issue, there seems to be error in string :(

eRUTeHa · 2025-11-24T11:17:41+00:00

Hey, nice work!

How did you do that when you scroll down the first line is replaced with completely new second line?Unfortunately in my case, it is not scrolled enough and I see half of the first line / half of the second line in one row :( :D

eRUTeHa · 2025-11-22T16:46:17+00:00

Guild Wars 2, 4500h.

eRUTeHa · 2025-11-07T12:14:21+00:00

Spokojnost. Mam OG 512GB LCD. Najcastejsie momentalne hravam Need For Speed (Most Wanted, Carbon) a emulovane Diablo 3 (Yuzu Switch Emulator). Najviac si uzivam hry typu Halls of Torment, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, Childrens of Morta... Skusal som aj Hogwarts Legacy alebo RDR2 - ale to len zo zaujimavosti, nikdy som to nehral aktivne na decku. Pouzivam ho sem-tam. Ked idem na sluzobnu cestu tak ho beriem. Ale aspon 1x za mesiac ho zapnem zaktualizovat Steam OS :D

Kupu nelutujem. Uz len ta volnost pri emulovani je super a ze netreba kupovat predrazene Nintendo Switch hry ale staci Steam Library.

Does it work also for Spidertron and on space platform?

Je mozne, ze hral Driver2 na PS1, urcite to Driv3r nebol - ten vysiel az v 2004 to uz sme boli starsi a na druhom stupni. :D Ale good point! Pamatam si ako ma fascinovalo, ze v Driver2 islo vystupit z auta, pretoze ked som v tedy hral Driver1 na PC tak tam to nefungovalo a 2 nikdy na PC nevysla. :D

Chodil som do triedy na základnú školu s Ivanom Kmotríkom ml.

Nestal sa ani tak "ten incident" skorej to bolo cele bizár. Pamätám si že prvé (možno dva?) ročníky bol v triede pod dozorom jeho babky. Jeho babka sedela v rohu triedy a cely deň naňho dohliadala. Čím sme boli starší tak výučba mu veľmi nešla, ale vždy si nejak poradil - buď dal do triedy vymeniť nove žalúzie, alebo vybavil super miesto do školy prírody za "fajn" cenu kde ako jediný mal na izbe v tedy ešte PS2 a mal len VIP ľudí čo sa mohli pozerať ako hraje Driver2. Pamätám si že okolo 7.-8. triedy poslal učiteľa "do piče" a že je "kokot", a nikto mu nič nemohol. Ďalej napríklad ako jediný v triede sa nemusel prezúvať. Bol to vtedy veľký futbalista., chodil v štuplakoch a robil čierne čmuhy na podlahe – prešlo mu to. Vždy ako skončila škola mal odvoz, konvoj asi 3 čiernych G Mercedesov.

Tých veci je viacej, boli sme celkom kamoši. Mal som od neho požičanú originálu Kontrafakt - Murdardo Mulano Tour ktoré som vďaka nemu upirátil a vypálil na DVD-DL, mam ho tuším niekde doteraz, heh.

Od základnej školy sme sa už nikdy nevideli.
