Silent Hill f is another Unreal Engine 5 game facing technical and performance issues on PC. PC users are reporting that the game keeps crashing during gameplay or when it compiles shaders at the start and the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error pops up. This is one of the common UE5 errors, games like Borderlands 4 and Grounded 2 also crashed with the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error. Here, I have compiled a comprehensive list of fixes that will resolve the Silent Hill f GPU Crash Dump Triggered error on your Windows PC.

There are multiple factors for the GPU Crash Dump error to occur on your PC, which include compatibility issues with the GPU driver, Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling causing issues with Silent Hill f, overclocked graphics hardware, and more. The following fixes will resolve the “GPU Crash Dump Triggered” crash in Silent Hill f on your Windows PC.

Fix #1 – Restart Your PC

If you haven’t shut down your PC in a while, it is the reason for Silent Hill f crashing with the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error. Many PC users report that simply restarting their PC fixed the issue. So, if you have not shut down your PC in a while, restart it, and the crashes will be fixed.

Fix #2 – Roll Back GPU Drivers and Do a Clean Installation (Verified Fix)

Your GPU driver is the reason Silent Hill f keeps crashing. NVIDIA drivers have been a bit of a mess lately, at the time of writing, and the current driver version on your PC is either incompatible with Silent Hill or is damaged. PC users report that installing the driver 581.08 fixes the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error. Ensure that you do a clean installation so that settings from the previous driver installation won’t interfere with the new one.

If you have installed the NVIDIA driver version 581.29 through the NVIDIA App, reportedly the app corrupts the driver over time, which crashes Silent Hill f at startup or during the first cutscene with the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error. Based on community feedback, reinstalling the driver version 581.29 fixes the error and the crashes. Again, ensure that you do a clean installation.

Fix #3 – Rebuild Silent Hill f’s Shaders and Increase Shader Cache Size (Verified Fix)

Since Silent Hill f uses Unreal Engine 5, it relies on shaders for its rendering and performance. UE5 shaders have caused a lot of issues for PC games. The shader cache for UE5 games is often the reason for random gameplay crashes, LowLevelFatalError crashes, and even the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error.

The shader cache on your PC is the reason Silent Hill f keeps crashing with the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error during shader compilation or at startup. You can fix these crashes by clearing the NVIDIA shader cache, increasing its size, and recompiling the shaders. Based on community feedback, this is a verified fix, i.e, clearing the cache fixes the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error in the game.

Here is how you can clear the cache and increase its size to fix the Silent Hill f GPU Crash issue on your PC:

  • Open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
  • Click the “Manage 3D settings” option from the left menu.
  • Go to the “Global settings” tab.
  • Scroll down and fix the “Shader Cache Size” setting and select the “Disabled” option for it.
  • Apply the change, and restart your PC.
  • Go to the “Shader Cache Size” setting and select the “100 GB” or “Unlimited” value.
  • Play Silent Hill f, and the GPU Crash is now fixed.

Fix #4 – Disable Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling

Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling is known to cause the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error in UE5 games, which include Borderlands 4, Grounded 2, and even Mafia: The Old Country.

Since Silent Hill f is a UE5 game, the game is crashing with the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error on your PC due to Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling. You can fix the error by disabling the Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling, and here is how you can disable it:

  • Open Windows Settings, click System, go to Display, and select Graphics.
  • Under Default Settings, you will find the option “Change default graphics settings”; click it.
  • Turn off the “Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling” option.
  • Restart your PC, play Silent Hill f, and the GPU Crash is now fixed.
How to disable Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling to fix the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error in Silent Hill f?
Open Windows settings and go to System > Display > Graphics. Click “Change default graphics settings” under Default Settings. Turn off the “hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling” and restart your PC.

One thing to note is that Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling is required to enable Frame Generation in PC video games. Often disabling the Frame Generation option in UE5 games fixes the GPU Crash Dump Triggered error and general crashes. So, you can try disabling Frame Genration in Silent Hill f, instead of Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling, to fix the error.
