FIFO is overflown by Gatherpipe! IT'S MAGIC!

Version 3.0-682
Sometimes it doesn't halt anything, and i can just continue after the error.
Other times there's no recovery and I need to close the game.
Using OpenGL.
Disabling Panic Handlers just makes the less fatal errors unnoticeable. Doesn't stop the occasional fatal crashes.

I hear this isn't supposed to happen anymore.

And the game is?

Not so important. It's Killer 7.
It happens, benignly or fatally, on occasion when I try to change my character.

Sometimes it'll crash, sometimes it'll just prompt, sometimes nothing happens at all.

I've attatched a screenshot of my graphics hacks configuration

I get FIFO errors in Timesplitters 3 too

What game it is doesn't matter or when it happens.
This is an error that was once common and had an available fix.

I just need to know what steps I can take to prevent that error in the current build

Did you try running the game in single core mode?

Did you try running the game in single core mode?

Should I also disable OpenMP if I disable Dual Core mode?

The issues are becoming much more infrequent, but still persistent. Just makes it harder to troubleshoot, but easier to tolerate.
I'll continue in Single Core mode with OpenMP still enabled as of this post.
As my profile details show, I'm using an i5 2500K overclocked to 4.4GHz

Hey folks. Confirming that Killer 7 doesn't quite work yet.

I found this old thread that I can't seem to reply to, but tried every solution suggested in it and then some with no success. I've tried on 3.0 x64 and 3.5 x64, even found an old r6298 and all of them give an FIFO error, or just crash with the Panic Handlers turned off. It is confirmed to happen in the boss fight of Act 1, and ironically, it's happening right at the beginning of Act 2, right when you shoot one of the two red silhouettes with a laser sight.

I had minor success after I switched to software rendering on one of the builds, where after shooting the silhouettes with the laser, I got to where the moon fades the screen to red, but it didn't seem to go farther then that, and FPS was around 1-3.

Hope there's a work around for this soon!

Yes, this is a known issue. Star issue 5415 to get email updates on the progress.

You can run TS3? I get some severe lag and lighting errors (crashes too) when i try that. To avoid being off topic, you should obviously try V3.5 and V3.0. Certain later revisions of 3.5 crash from the start so avoid them.
