Fixed Issues and Improvements
Intermittent system or application crash may be observed while pressing Alt-Tab during gameplay on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products such as the Radeon™ RX 6000 Series.
Same issue. Me and my friends also suffered from this issue for over a year. Someone mentioned DX12 or Windows 11. But I’m using DX11 and Windows 10. Also, I reinstall the Windows 10 but the issue still exists. My specs are 7800X3D 4070ti 32G RAM Windows10. But my friend’s specs are pretty different.
I might have the solution for some of you as the issue disappeared for me.
It’s HDR! (at least for me)
try the following options:
enable HDR in War Thunder (Options > Graphics, way at the bottom) - that did it for me.
since the issue seems to be HDR, the next option might work as well, but that’s just my guess
disable Auto-HDR in Windows 11 (Windows-Button + I to open up the settings and simply type HDR in the search bar. head into the graphics settings and turn off Auto-HDR)
Strangely enough, it often freezes when I do alt-tab while loading.
Whether it is the loading screen before the match starts, or in the middle of loading the terrain in the back right after the battle starts, etc.
I wonder if this has something to do with it.
Oh yeah, not only it freezes the game and had to “restart the drivers” it seems, it also makes the user-made skins pitch black for the entire match. In-game skins however dosen’t go pitch black, only user-made skins (like from wt.live) do
Yeah it’s really frustrating, crashed earlier when I tabbed out whilst climbing to alt in ARB, force closed the game and restarted and managed to get back into the same game. Then I fat fingered the windows key and it crashed instantly. Fed up of this bug.
Atleast the my report has been accepted though. But I don’t have much hope seeing as having your report “accepted” is as worthless as a bike is to a kid with no legs.
