It gives the error err gfx d3d init. Fixing a bug on Radeon video cards

Maxim Parnikov
Try, before erasing files, to erase the last save files. and then try to let the game itself download what is missing.
It should work!

And by the way, here is the answer from the support, for those who are shouting here, why don’t you write there!

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

Please try the following:

Please make sure that the application subprocess.exe, GTAV.exe, GTAVLauncher.exe is allowed in Windows Firewall and Antivirus.

Try running the application with your antivirus turned off, and also turn off the real-time protection of Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus.

Disable all background programs and USB controllers (camcorder, joystick, etc.).

Please install the latest version of Social Club:

It is very important to make sure that no folder in the directories associated with the game and its applications includes special characters, punctuation marks or other non-Latin characters, including Cyrillic. Try creating a new Windows user with administrator rights if the current username includes special characters or punctuation marks or others (as well as Cyrillic).

Make sure that the Social Club application is installed on the same drive as the game - drive C.

Also please do the following steps:

On Drive C, create a folder in advance, for example “My Documents”, it will turn out to be Drive: C\My Documents.
Find the My Documents folder on your C drive.
Right-click on My Documents, select Properties, and then the Location tab.
See the location of your documents, copy the contents to a separate folder, then erase everything and write there the folder you created on Drive: C. It turns out like this: “C:\My Documents”
Click apply and accept what the computer suggests.
Try to launch Social Club.
If the above steps do not help you, try the following:
-Close the launcher

-Run the game launcher again

This is what I didn't do:
-Delete 2 files: x64p.rpf.hash and x64p.rpf.part
try it, maybe it will help someone. Everything that was written above by the support seemed like “water” to me.

The err_gfx_d3d_init error has been tormenting GTA 5 players for a long time, especially in single player mode. Nobody wants to see an error on their screen, and in which there is absolutely nothing useful, just random characters. A little lower in the article you can look at the image of the error to compare it with yours.

This error can occur during gameplay, when pausing the game, or even when starting GTA 5. In general, this problem can catch you at absolutely any time, which, of course, is quite unpleasant.

There are just a huge bunch of different solutions to this difficult problem floating around on the Internet, i.e. err_gfx_d3d_init errors in GTA 5, but the problem is that they help some and not others. We will list all the most common methods for solving the err_gfx_d3d_init error, and maybe you can find something that works for yourself. So, let's look at various solutions for such a problem as the err_gfx_d3d_init error in GTA 5

Restarting the video adapter

The first and, perhaps, the simplest solution in this situation is to turn on/off your video adapter. Some users online reported that their problem with the err_gfx_d3d_init error in GTA 5 was solved in this way. To follow this solution, do the following:

• Right-click on “Start” and select “Device Manager” from the context menu.
• You will see a list of all devices in your configuration. Find your video card in the list and right-click on it.
• Select “Disable” from the context menu.
• Then right-click on your video adapter again and select “Enable”.
• After completing these steps, try logging into GTA 5 and check for the err_gfx_d3d_init error.
• Be sure to try pausing GTA 5 during gameplay as this action may cause this issue to appear.

Software Update

Be sure to update every possible aspect of your software, which includes programs like DirectX, Microsoft Visual Studio C++, Microsoft .Net Framework, and the like. Pay special attention to the version of your video card drivers. Once you complete all these updates, then immediately go into the game to check if the err_gfx_d3d_init error in GTA 5 has disappeared.

Changing the settings.xml file

In this method, you will have to change the DirectX version for GTA 5 through a small configuration file - settings.xml. First, go to the directory C:\Users\username\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\. Open the file settings.xml using any text editor, for example, a simple Notepad. Find the line in the document DX_Version value=”2″.

And here we need to point out a rather interesting thing. In total, GTA 5 uses four versions of DirectX: 9, 10, 10.1, 11. So, we can make the assumption that 0 corresponds to version 9 of DirectX. And it turns out that 10=1, 10.1=2, 11=3.

Change the above line in the document to DX_Version value=”0″ and this way you will make your GTA 5 run on DirectX 9, which is the most stable version. Then you can set any version of DirectX through the game. This time the err_gfx_d3d_init error in GTA 5 should disappear.

Using NVidia Inspector

The next method, although quite simple, will require you to download a program such as NVidia Inspector. With its help, you will need to change some frequencies of your video card. Download it online, install it and configure the following settings:

• To get started, click on the button “ Show Overclocking ” .
• Then find two parameters in the utility: Base Clock And Offset Memory.
• Change both lines to “-20” .
• Apply your changes.
• Go into the game again and check for the err_gfx_d3d_init error in GTA 5. If it has disappeared, then that's great. However, your system may begin to behave unstable due to changes. In this case, simply return the default settings in NVidia Inspector.

Removing d3d9x_46.dll and d3dcompiler_46.dll files

You need to understand that we won’t easily delete these files, and that’s the end of it. No, it's a little more complicated. Find these files in your GTA 5 folder and delete them. Then run a game cache check. As soon as it is verified, you will be given a message stating that two files did not pass verification and will be reloaded. As soon as d3d9x_46.dll And d3dcompiler_46.dll will be located in the folder, try starting the game again and checking for the err_gfx_d3d_init error in GTA 5.

Switching CUDA

And the last method on our list will be quite strange. So, you will need to change one setting in your Nvidia Control Panel. So yes, this method is only suitable for owners of Nvidia video cards. Well, do the following:

• Go to Nvidia Control Panel.
• Go to the “Manage 3D Settings” tab.
• Find the line “CUDA - GPUs”.
• Select your video card from the drop-down menu and apply the change.
• Surprisingly, this essentially useless change helped some players overcome the err_gfx_d3d_init error in GTA 5.

We hope that all of the above methods have at least somehow helped you cope with this rather unpleasant situation.

Found a typo? Select the text and press Ctrl + Enter

This problem appears mainly when starting the GTA V game. The error is related to the operation of your Nvidia video card, which is fixed differently than in other situations. For example, you should follow the steps below. If you get this error on Radeon video cards, then look at the very bottom for how to fix it.

This method is effective, and has also been repeatedly tested by many players - both foreign and ours. When you exit the game, you can change the settings to standard, and vice versa.

Another way to solve the error for Nvidia

If you were unable to fix the problem using the first method, then try this:

Latest option for Nvidia

If all else fails, then completely uninstall DirectX to install the latest full version, which you can download from the following link:

Download DirectX

Once you have reinstalled, try launching the game again because the problem should go away.

Fixing a bug on Radeon video cards

Users with powerful Radeon series video cards also experience difficulties, but resolving them is much more difficult than on Nvidia. So, you should reinstall the video driver to version 15.4, or newer, depending on what year you are fixing the error.

By following the instructions on the site, you can install drivers for your AMD video card. Do not forget about the bit capacity of your system, and also that there is a series of video cards for laptops, and separately for personal computers. Once you have reinstalled DirectX, follow the steps below and then try running GTA V again.

Now you can go to the root folder of the game to find a file like GTA V Launcher or Settings, in the window of which you need to set the DirectX 10 version. Also, for an AMD video card, you should definitely do the second solution, where in the text file change the value DX_Version value = "2 to zero (see above).

That's all for me. Fix bugs and continue enjoying your favorite games!

System problems:

If, when launching Launcher.exe, the “close program” window pops up:
You need to increase the priority to high for Launcher.exe and GTA5.exe [doesn't always help]

Plot problems:

Throws it out on missions where you need to rob collectors. Takes off after Franklin destroys the garbage truck and switches to Michael:
Hit yourself 3 times with a grenade after killing the cops, before getting into the garbage truck, and press " Skip mission«.

What should I do, the game crashes when I play the mission Blitz game, how does the transition occur after the theft of Trevor’s wife to Franklin, the game crashes! I did suicide 3 times when Michael had to blow up the car, I skip after the suicide and goes to the video meeting of Michael and Trevor and crash game:
The crash occurs if you select a throwing weapon (grenade, etc.) and throw it with the “fire” button (by default, the left mouse button). To prevent this from happening, you need to switch to firearms and throw grenades with the “quick” button (G by default). The effect of throwing a grenade with the “fire” button remains for the entire duration of the game session. If you save, exit the game and start it again, everything will be fine.

There are no missions visible or nothing happens upon arrival at the mission
The 5GB additional file has not been downloaded or is damaged, download it and put it in the game folder.<=нажать что-бы скачать.

Solving the problem with aiming in a car
When using ANY throwing objects (grenades, sticky mines, canisters, etc.), we aim the pistol where we want to throw and use the (G) key on the keyboard, that is, in no case do we pick up grenades, aim, or throw with the mouse! !! And regarding crashes due to the sight, I will say that when you aim from a car, the load increases and the FPS sags, lower the settings, the video simply does not hold up. Also, select DX10 or DX10.1, depending on what you have, and restart the game and go through the mission again. Also, try changing the main button to F12, and put the additional button on the right mouse button.

Solving the problem with various crashes
Play in windowed mode or better yet, in windowed mode without frames and you won’t see crashes from missions!

Second version:
Crashes when switching between characters on missions Blitz Game and Big Snatch
Delete the cfg.dat and pc_settings.bin files in the documents Rockstar Games/GTA V/Profiles/DFE3B7FD, launch the game, adjust the brightness. DO NOT go into the settings inside the game yet - go through the missions calmly and there will be no crashes. For those who were not helped by the removal, try not using sticky bombs and grenades to blow up the doors - blow up the doors with a grenade launcher or RPG. (at least in the Big Snatch mission, the bank bars are taken out with a grenade launcher) Also in the Big Snatch mission: at the moment when the gold is already in the cages, but the helicopter has not flown away, and you are running to kill enemies who are coming out of the vault (which you broke into) die three times and miss. Then, at the moment where you need to get into the escape vehicle, you die and miss out. It crashes mainly when switching characters - die 3 times and miss the mission.
During the mission, you aim from the car and it flies out:
Remove the right mouse button from driving the car and aim only with firearms.

Mission with a bank robbery in the countryside.. After the tank flies, switches to Franklin and takes off.
Play in first person + skip chapters.

Taking off on a mission where you need to hijack a train with Meriwether gold bars
Throws it out after switching to Michael. Solution: complete the mission in first person and in the window.

Going on a bank robbery mission in a rural area
After the tank flies, he switches to Franklin and takes off. Solution: Play in first person and skip chapters.

Departure in the mission Scam / Monkey's work
Crashes at the end of the mission when Trevor is driving a woman home. More precisely, before this moment. It goes like this: you complete the mission, die 3 times when you fly back with the cargo and skip the scene.

Bug in the mission Free Fall (Caida Libre)
You don't need to blow up the van, but drown it! Also, you complete the mission, and when the message appears that the mission has been completed, you go to the menu. You fumble around in it and return to the game.

Crash on the mission Derailed
This mission IS PLAYABLE IN WINDOWED MODE! Also, I completed the mission Derailed in this way: I disabled the option “Automatically pause the game in the background” in the “Graphics” menu and at the moment of switching from Trevor to Michael, when the camera was already starting to take off, I minimized the game to tray (Alt+Tab), waited about 5 seconds and, voila, Michael was already in the boat! The flight has passed!

Mission crash with a garbage truck / jewelry / Blitz Play
When you need to get into the garbage truck and go, just blow it up 3 times with a grenade or whatever you want, or die yourself. An option to skip the mission will appear! Also, you can bypass it not only by dying and skipping the mission. It is enough to not use explosives in the mission, no sticky bombs, no grenades, nothing explosive. The door of the collector, just select any gun, point it at the door, press the right button to aim and press the G key, the door will explode. The garbage truck will need to be shot, after which the transition to Michael will occur without a departure.

Taking off on a mission where you need to steal a plane with weapons
During a parachute jump - do not press the right mouse button while Trevor is flying - this will happen when his plane is hit by fighters. As soon as he starts running along the burning plane and before landing, do not press the right mouse button and everything will be in chocolate.

Error err_gfx_d3d_init when starting GTA 5 mainly occurs among owners of an Nvidia video card. There are several ways to resolve this error. The solutions are described below, by doing which you will get rid of this problem and can safely play Grand Theft Auto 5.

So, let's get started.

First way solutions to the err_gfx_d3d_init problem in GTA 5

• We follow the path “Documents\Rockstar games\gta5” and in it we find the settings.xml file;

Second way solutions to the err_gfx_d3d_init error problem in GTA 5

• Download the Nvidia Inspector utility program (downloads: 778);
• We open the program before we launch the GTA 5 game;
• At the bottom of the program we find the “Show Overclocking” button, click it and confirm that we are aware of the risks (we will be informed that if the settings are incorrect, the operation of the entire system may be unstable);
• Find the lines with the names Base Clock and Offset Memory Clock Offset, right below them click on the value “-20”;
• Also below, agree to the changes made by clicking on Apply Clocks & Voltage. It is not recommended to close the program; it is better to simply minimize it. Because if the system really starts to behave strangely, you can quickly deploy the program, apply the default settings and save.;
• Now let's try to launch GTA 5 and play.

Third way how to fix err_gfx_d3d_init error when starting GTA 5

This method is also for owners of an Nvidia video card, and the essence of it is to edit the Cuda settings parameter. To learn how to fix gfx error, just watch the video guide
