Game Crashes/closes after loading into a game

A few seconds after i join a battle my game crashes. No Crash log or anything else telling me my game crashed… it just closes.

i have updated my driver, re-installed the game… but nothing seems to have helped.

any ideas or help to provide?

same thing was happening to me but it was with my internet. It just gave up whenever i joined a game.

I had to restart everything a couple of times, maybe try that

Also though, be sure to verify files in the launcher, clear out the cache folder in the game folder as well.

Its not that my internet is the problem. my game just closes instantly every time i join a battle… everything else works fine

cleared the cache, also verified the files and reinstalled my game. still happening

Then you proceed to the next stages, ensuring your game folder is exempt in your antivirus, ensure your drivers are up to date/of a suitable age. (You could need to roll them back but I’d not try that yet tbh…)

Another folder to clear before you do this, is the compiledShaders folder in the game folder as well. That’s one that could be doing something in this scenario.

What does the CompiledShader folder do?

It’s seemingly generated to handle a bit of graphics cacheing or something, but I feel that it comes to be anything ‘rendering’ is using this to make it easier, which if it were doing what I think it does, then something could be corrupt in that, much the same as the cache folder happens to be the cause sometimes.

I merely suggested it as it’s another folder to clear out and see if it takes effect.

deleted the compiledshaders folder, still crashing… how do i check if my game is exempt in my antivirus?

Depending on what your AV is, it’ll be different in most, but it’ll be in the settings, under excluded folders usually.

I’ve been having the same issue since yesterday. Only happen in live games, test drives are fine. Program ends either whilst I am on the spawn screen, or almost immediately after spawning in.

Edit: None of the standard fix processes had any effect.

i excluded the war thunder folder yesterday, had no effect.

also tried a to re-install it a 2nd time… this time a completly new fresh installment. Deleted the war thunder folder from my steamapps, also the War thunder Folder in My Documents and on AppData… had no effect, its still happening

i have tried everything the internet told me. nothing helped, re-installed 2 times now and its still happening

I had a game not crash after the patch today, although I haven’t had time for much testing. Hopefully it is fixed now.

i had found the problem. it was my RAM. After i bought new RAM and replaced the old RAM it works just fine again

Damn, that’ll be something to add to the old diagnosis thread/thought process.

I haven’t recommended anyone to actually check thier hardware for a long while.
