The game crashes for no reason

I have less frequent crashing. Instead on my side, is VERY frequent frame drops around 7~ fps

I have the same problem, but only in ground battles and only in the top tier. At the beginning, a black screen appears, the sound is bugged and either someone kills me and I can take the next tank, or (most often) the game crashes and only a window appears asking if I want to send a bug report. By the way, the FPS jumps incredibly and even if I want to, I can’t play on 12.0, because it’s simply unplayable. I have this problem since the release of the last update. I installed the latest GPU drivers and even updated Windows. Nothing helped. It’s 100% the game’s fault, because I don’t think the RTX 3070 has such a problem with generating graphics.

The same problem. I can say that it helps me for about one or two days - this is deleting two folders, BattlEye and cache, in the root of the game. After that, we launch the launcher, it quickly downloads the files, we launch it and calmly play without crashes. I repeat, this helps me for one or two days, then repeat the procedure

Yeah my mine crashed only several hours ago during a match with crash dump and now I can’t even log in my game gives me a crash dump before I can even get to the lobby

Well, guys, it’s been a while since this post was sent out, and now while it won’t crash, the stuttering is getting worse and worse, and I can’t take it anymore. I found a workaround though。

The problem is with DX12, using DX12 will get stuck in my GPU driver. Using the event viewer found that there were 3 nvlddmkm153 events for every stuttering, switching back to DX11 fixed everything. I’ve been playing DX11 for 3 days now and nothing has happened.

The problem is, I spent so much money to build a high-end computer just to enjoy beautiful graphics, and as a result, I can’t turn on ray tracing right now?(All the problems only occur when playing War thunder with DX12, so it’s not a problem with my PC)

Please fix it Gaijin! Fast!

so this is what I did to fix mine I installed the game to game file and it was still in there filed delete all files whatsoever and then we install the game and it will fix everything I have issues by crashes constantly constantly happening including my VR wasn’t working and then now I fix it by deleting everything

It’s been 2 weeks since the Hornet’s Sting update and 11 days since my post here and there’s still no fix, don’t you think by now it should have been fixed? I have 2 Imac, a new one with M3 that is impossible to play since every time I enter the games it freezes changing the graphics High or low is the same and the old Intel Imac that with that at least you can play but from time to time it freezes.
I don’t think I’m the only one who has problems, but there are hundreds, not to say thousands, either on Mac or PC with this error.
What bothers me the most is that neither the developers nor administrators can give news if they are aware of this problem, other than make superficial fixes that do not solve the substance of this problem.

Thx

Yesterday, in the middle of a battle (Air RB), the game crashed to desktop, disappeared from the screen suddenly , but it was still running in the background!! And I just had no way to restore it. I had to close it via task manager and launch again.

Hello everyone

I have the same problem, since the update. It definitely can’t be because of my hardware!
At first I also had a blue screen, then I even reinstalled Nvidia app / graphics card without success. From then on I didn’t have a blue screen. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game to no avail. I don’t know what to do anymore.

My hardware:

CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core ™ i9-13900KF 3.00 GHz
Memory: 64.0 GB
Graphics: RTX 4090 OC 24 GB

i have almost the same specs and iv been getting a lot of lag spikes too and all the tanks are being really glitchy kinda making it hard to spot if they are bots or just really bad server issues

That’s exactly what you say! I did the same, and only yesterday I noticed. Either I have a good round and fly out! Or just fly out like that! And I have lag spikes too! Driver restarted no success!

Hello

small update disable XMP for Intel in the BIOS or for AMD the DOCP that is for overclocking the RAM! I deactivated that and has been running stably for 2 hours.

yeah no thanks i would rather not melt my pc just for 2 hours on war thunder -_-

Hello

Well, deactivating it is not as bad as activating it. Unless your PC doesn’t cooperate. I reinstalled my PC over the weekend! The reason was that Nvidia APP completely paralyzed my system. By re-instilling Windows, it runs better than before.

Activating ray tracing and DX12 tanks my fps into the low double digits, raises my temps to above 100 and eventually crashes the game. This is despite having a PC with an Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of RAM and an Nvidia 4060 GPU with 8GB of VRAM. i can run Space Marines 2, Metro Exodus and Helldivers 2 at max settings with no problems at all. Only war thunder runs terribly. I’m even forced to play in Windowed mode or else the game freezes and crashes when I alt+tab to other windows. Been this way since Storm Warning. It stinks of god awful optimization.

same story since the last 2 major updates, and worse after hornet sting, no matter if its DX12 or 11, game will just freeze and crash mid match, and the sounds get corrupted so it becomes horrible.
Similar specs 4070TiS, 12900K, 64GB of ram, etc.
Game is on an nvme ssd

It’s been the same for me for the past year… I’ve tried every single possible solution to fix the random crash but even sometimes I get BSOD, my setup is very up to date and even hardware is quality, 32gb of ram, Intel I9 13th gen and 4070… All I keep getting from gaijin is “have you updated all your softwares” and that is it they don’t bother going ahead with anything.

So far to this date i’ve watched over 100+ videos on potential solutions did all of them, had to reset my computer and reinstall from scratch, even changed SSD and Ram just to be sure and it is still the same issue.

One thing i’ve noticed is that other games in the past where i had similar issues have always been with Battle Eye… maybe it does something in your internal files that forces a crash or even BSOD.

Started crashing randomly. Never had a problem with it before. I910850k with RTX 3070. 32g’s of RAM and now all of a sudden im constantly crashing?

BattleEye wasnt worth it.
