r/Substance3D on Reddit: TDR problem when I install Substance
October 1, 2024 -

I just installed Substance Painter and it’s showing me this message, here’s the translation of the message:

“Substance 3D Painter is running on your AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics GPU.

TDR ISSUE

Your current TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) mechanism value is too low.

TDR is a Windows mechanism designed to detect and recover from situations where your computer may crash and require a restart.

Substance 3D Painter's intensive use of the GPU may trigger this mechanism when calculating complex operations, which may result in a crash.

We highly recommend that you modify the TDR value, otherwise we cannot guarantee the stability of the application.

To help you with this process, we have put together a simple step-by-step guide.”

The problem is that the link doesn’t guide me anywhere. 

I have an student license, so it’s my first time installing Substance Painter. Some details: this is not my main PC since my main can’t run these kinds of programs.

The laptop is an Asus Vivobook, it has Windows 11, it’s from 2023, the CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H and it has 8 GB of RAM.

I know it’s not the most optimal aspect to run Substance Painter, but it’s what I have right now. If anyone knows how to fix it I'll be grateful, since this is not my laptop I can’t damage it.

TDR timeout issue with Substance Painter 2019.3.1 | Community
July 26, 2025 - Now I have a new GPU RTX 5060 ti 16 gb and the same error is showing up although the settings in TdrDelay and TdrDdiDelay are set to 60. So it can't be the GPU. Substance worked despite of the error message but today it crashed.
