Excavator invalid string position error
In some rare cases, mostly with AMD cards, the Excavator will show an invalid string position error in the console.
The reason behind this error is either bad driver installation or bad GPU contact with the motherboard or USB riser.
To resolve this issue, try one of the following:
- Reinstall the drivers following this guide. Try using older drivers.
- Shut down the PC and refit the GPUs. Simply remove the GPU and connect it back again.
