Loading an RTX resource pack crashes the game

Sometimes my whole computer crashes while loading an RTX resource pack. I get the Green Screen of death.

I made my own RTX texture pack; it exhibits the issue:

(came here from MCPE-163117 where I recently reported this issue)

My husband and I both experience the repeated Minecraft app crashing when trying to load the RealSource RTX "Low" pack.
These are both of our build/settings:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
16GB DDR4 @ 2133 MHz
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060

After the 1.19.31 update have you guys noticed a drop in the amount of  times you get crashes. I may have been lucky, but in the time since I updated I haven't gotten a crash yet. I use Kelly's Vanilla RTX Pack 3.1 with and want to know if you guys are noticing the same thing.

@Bazin I'm still getting crashes while loading the world about 3/4 of the time

@Bazin I'm also on v1.19.31 and use Kelly's RTX 3.1, and I still get crashes most of the time like @Pat Gunn.

Uninstalling gpu driver also doesn't help

I can't get a error log right now

update:
I can't even load a RTX pack it just ends up crashing the game, but I have some info because I researched a bit and it turns out "nvwgf2umx.dll" and "minecraft.windows.exe" are (most likely) causing conflicts

update 2:
I got rtx working again after installing the latest drivers BUT then sometime later it started crashing again.

update 3:
Sorry for confusion, but it works again? I have no idea what is going on

Here's a little snippet of a comment I read yesterday:
"I have exactly the same problem with Forza Motorsport 7. First thing I did was setting graphics to lowest preset. Then the game stopped crashing. So I started testing it by enabling settings to higher and it appears that antialiasing was causing this issue (and maybe anisotropic filtering). My solution was to disable AA and aniso in the game and enable them in Nvidia control panel for this application. So far everything looks good."

Game crash. Faulting module name: nvwgf2umx.dll - Microsoft Community

God bless you 🙂

1.19.40. Insane amount of crashes are occurring again. 8 times out of ten game crashes when loading world. Tried with multiple rtx packs

Pretty sure this problem is associated with DLSS.
If you delete (doing so you will need to reinstall the game) nvngx_dlss.dll from the game engine's folder, loading a RTX texture-loaded game will work 100% of the time.
Certainly then this isn't a solution for most people I guess.

I tried also changing DLSS version by using the custom loader, the result is still kind of mixed for me.
This crash probably didn't happen back in 1.16/1.17, not sure if it came after 1.18 or 1.19.

Update:
I found that nvg_dlss.dll of version 2.2.6 seems to work best so far, tested and it worked 4/4 times success. I was thrilled.
Going back to the latest 2.4.12_v2, instantly failing again, worked 0/2.
Finally, moving back to 2.2.6, I got 1/2 times working.
This may not be an actual solution, but if you are seeing 100% failure rate, give it a go.

To try a different dlss version:
1. Download Custom Minecraft Bedrock Loader
2. Download the desired version of nvng_dlss.dll from Techpowerup website.
3. Open the game folder, go to C:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft_bedrock\versions%game-version%
4. paste and replace the nvngx_dlss.dll file inside the folder

Here is a workaround:

Before starting Minecraft, browse to com.mojang\minecraftpe and look for the file options.txt. Find gfx_raytracing: and set it to 0. Try opening a world with RTX off. Let the textures load, then re-enable RTX with the semicolon key while in game. If RTX comes on, everything will be glossy. Close and reopen the world and the RTX textures will hopefully start working at that point.

Affects 1.19.50

Reporting in to add that I am experiencing this behavior on both the previous build, and this latest 19.50 build for Bedrock.  ANY RTX pack causes the problem.

Activating an RTX pack, and then attempting to ESC back to the main menu causes the game to begin loading the resource pack, then crash to desktop with no error message.  Relaunching will land with "Resource packs failed to load" message, but the pack still "activated".  ESC out from there without making changes will 8/10 times crash the game again in the same way, and when re-launched, the RTX resource pack is now deactivated.  The other 2/10 times, the RTX pack will load successfully and be usable until exiting the game, at which point the process starts over again.

This behavior is every time attempting to launch the game-- it takes 4 or 5 cycles through this AT MINIMUM to get the game to finally launch with RTX enabled successfully.

This happens with every RTX pack I've tried, though admittedly, some seem to have more issues than others-- The aforementioned Kelly's RTX (the most recent 3.1 "skin fix" version) seems to have the least amount of issues, but is also the most demanding one to run on my hardware.

Would like to be able to enjoy this huge feature that, to be honest, is the main reason I took another look at this game.  Plain-old minecraft just isn't as engaging and immersive as the RTX variant (when it works).

CAN WE PLEASE FIX THIS ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE RTX LOST SUPPORT; nothing like buying a game to play in RTX and then literally spending anywhere from a half hour to an hour trying to even turn the game on. I may just need a refund at this point and can’t even give a good review to my friends who want to switch to bedrock; why switch to bedrock when Optifine does more??

I didn't experience this issue until upgrading my CPU. I don't know if it's related but my old 4 core 2200G never had the game crash when trying RTX, now with my new 5600, I have only been able to load a world in RTX once. Every other time, the game either falls back to DX11 (No RTX) or just crashes to desktop. Nothing else on my PC changed, just a CPU swap.

Old CPU: Ryzen 2200G (4 core 4 thread [email protected]) - no issue
New CPU: Ryzen 5600 (6 core 12 thread [email protected]/4.4Ghz Boost) - cannot load RTX without crashing 90%+ of the time.

With this bug ray tracing is essentially not usable anymore.
Been trying to get into game with ray tracing for a LOOONG time no matter the resource pack I use, it just keeps crashing the moment load the resource pack.
It even crashes with my realm!! I load the resource pack into REALM and the game crashes again, despite not being loaded locally, I can't get into my realm with rtx pack applied either.
I pray every day, I (politely) beg you, fix this 🤲

It's just trial and error with this bug, it is possible to load into MC with RTX, it just takes 8 or 9+ crashes..

I can replicate this issue as well, I have tried with many different RTX based resource packs, several different systems. All the same issue.

This has been getting steadily worse over months now to the point where I cannot load up any of my worlds of servers.

I can replicate, 1.19.51.
Pack: Vanilla RTX Normals
I am using AMD Ryzen 5600x and EVGA GeForce RTX 3060
Had to completely delete the pack from the resource pack folder after i put it in global resources because the game would crash every time i loaded it.

I am also encountering this issue. I've tried with both Vanilla RTX and RealSource's RTX packs. As @insert_funny_ign mentioned, the game continues to crash unless the resource packs are removed from "storage." I've read reports on tweaking some configs. I've tried turning off V-Sync. I've gone into the resource pack's "terrain_texture.json" per some reddit suggestions without success. In the rare instances when my world does load, I get "low memory" or "resource fallback" messages. 

My machine specs:

• Intel i7-12700K

• Nvidia 3080 12 GB (Driver v. 527.56)

• 32 GB DDR5 RAM

• Windows 11 22H2

• Minecraft for Windows (v. 1.19.51)

This issue remains on both this version and the previous one. When I load Vanilla RTX Normals, the game crashes. When I try to reopen the game, it will crash after a brief hang when the game is 67% loaded. It opens with no issue after that, unless I try to use the resource pack again. I have not tried any other PC, parts, resource pack, game version (consciously), or Windows version (latest W11 Pro). I am running a Ryzen 7 5800X, RTX 2060, 32GB of 3600MHz CL18 RAM and a PCI-E 3.0 NVMe SSD. I play the game on a 1440p165hz DisplayPort monitor, and I have not tried using or disconnecting my other (1080p60 HDMI) monitor. This problem has been on-and-off since the very beginning of Minecraft RTX.

If you need any more information please let me know

A somewhat simple solution to loading RTX resource packs in global resources.
I was testing methods to load RTX resources without crashing the game, and I noticed my anti-aliasing setting was off. I set it to 16 and attempted to load the resources, the game didn't crash and I was able to load into a world fine.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Minecraft's settings and activate any RTX resource packs you want to load

2. Navigate to anti-aliasing and modify the setting. e.g 16 to 8 or vice versa.

3. Exit the settings and the game should be able to load the resources, it will likely frame drop for a few seconds as it loads the packs.

I tested this 10 times and it succeeded 10 times, however, I had to activate all my resource packs every time I loaded the game as it reset global resources every single time.

Hardware: RTX 3060ti, Ryzen 5 3600X, 16 GB ram.

Now 100% times working if I enter the game with the RTX resource deactivated and activate every time I just enter the game. So, the process is:

1. Enter Minecraft

2. Global Resources: activate RTX resource

3. Play

4. Deactivate RTX resource

5. Exit Minecraft

It works for me: v1.19.51, Kelly's RTX pack, Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3070.

I'm having this issue as well. RTX 2080, 32GB RAM, AMD 3950x

FWIW - Same problem for me

Latest version of MC Bedrock

Tried with multiple different RTX packs - all have the same problem, but with varying degrees of how badly. Sometimes it works.. but infrequently.

Have tried all the various suggestions out there from VSync options (Which is pretty broken in its own right), to re installing nvidia drivers, and trying older version of nvidia drivers. Usually, re installing the driver will initially work, but next session it's broken again)

In order of worst-behaving-first

Defined PBR (got it to work once, haven't been able to since), JG Rtx, Kelly's RTX, Vanilla Normals, Vanilla, Mosaic RTX.

(Then there's the whole other sh*tshow which is adding the to realms. I can only get Mosaic to reliably install on a realms. None of the above will work of a realm using my local global resources - it just ignores them and/or fails to uploaded, so Mosaic works, but has to be added to the realm itself, but this may be another related issue. Still get the occasional crash and/or black screen except for torches)
