Crashes in Airbattles with Directx 12

Since last year, probably since the update that introduced DX12, I’ve been having problems with the game freezing (interestingly, the sound or music is still audible), mainly when I Alt+Tab during gameplay, but both in DX11 and DX12.
There are numerous bug reports that still haven’t been resolved.
I’ve reinstalled the game to a different drive (the hard drive, not the partition), reinstalled Windows, and updated my graphics card drivers multiple times using DDU.
Nothing helps.

tbh its gaslighting to say its ur system if the only game crashing bcs of direct 12 being warhtunder, 9 out of 10 it the game problem and not your system
also same thing for me

Same issue here
I’m on 5700X3d with 9070

Ive deleted everything from my drives, i reinstalled Windows, installed every driver fresh and i still got the Crash in Air Battles ONLY. It has to be on War thunder side that is broken.
GPU : RX9070
CPU : R7 5800x3d
RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200Hrz
Windows 11

i would just use directx11 for now, it seems to do well with no crashes at all after switching. i have no idea why gaijin hasnt addressed this issue yet but maybe theyre working on it!

et encore je sais pas pour toi moi je vois que en 12 j’ai plus de fps que le 11

This is a known issue with AMD graphics cards running under DX12

If that was the case, then why is it only ARB?

I’ve done dozens of NRB (and a handful of GRB) matches since the major update, in DX12, with my AMD Graphics card and it hasnt done it once. Likewise i’ve yet to get a singel crash in any other game running DX12.

au début moi aussi mais c’est surement du au mis a jour fréquente qui fait que le dx12 est casser

Same issue here. This started recently pc configuration was the same for the last 3 months drivers the same etc , 5700x3d and RX 9070, was running DX12 no crashes no nothing. After the latest warthunder patches its now crashing on air battles with DX12. This is not a driver issue, one of the latest patches changed something that triggers crashes.

It still happens

Not really an answer if so many people in the thread are saying that those exact steps don’t fix the problem.

I’ve had a match where both me and my friend crash in Air Rb at the same time with the same fatal error.

Which does suggest a direct correlation between match length and crashes.

Hmm… If I can be bothered later. I may run a load of matches in DX12 and carefully log things like time in match and specific action leading up to crash (for example I noticed I seemed to crash whenever I used freelook to check my 6)

That was an answer to a different issue though.

This is super interesting, i highly encourage both you and your friend to create bug reports with the files they ask for since they would then have a crash from the exact same match but on two different systems, it might help narrow down the issue.

Or a very specific set of occurrences within the match and not necessarily in each players field of view and render distance.
So instead of being, lets say, a specific skin that is bugged and crashes AMD cards when tried to render (can’t be this due to it not happening in AAB but just used as an example), it might instead be when something changes within the match, like a capture point is taken, a specific score is reached for either team, etc, etc.

I am on the 7800XTX and am having the same issue! Been playing for over a decade on AMD cards only and this has been a first… I can play prop air fine but playing any jets crashes my game mid match. Switching drivers doesn’t resolve nor does clearing caches or shaders. I think the update broke it, can only be reverted by the game. I have no issues in any other games.

Interesting… I see another thing for me to test. Time for a Spitfire match

Ive also noticed that it happens alot more frequently when im free looking and checking if there are enemies behind me.

yeah I have noticed that as well when I press the C key which is my free look it just goes down good to know I am not the only one.
