I’m using now 576.28 drivers, and no more issues for me

“hundreds” is still in this context a small number of players as there are hundreds of thousands that play daily. “hundreds” would then be 0.1% of players.

I assume you guys are actually trying to play with RayTracing. I have it off, and I still get a RT crash, I kid you not:]

I just went through the error message and the last line is not RayTracing error, its an low-level Windows NT kernel function. Thanks ChatGPT:]

no I feel stupid saying this but I don’t know what it is and how to do it

Feel stupid asking a question? Well that’s stupid :)

If you meant clearing your cache, it’s in your directory. No harder than deleting the folder labeled “cache”, which in my case is in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\War Thunder

As for a crash dump, find it in your task manager. Right click the app and select “Create Memory Dump File”.
Any time your game crashes, find the associated .dmp files within:
C:\Windows\Minidump

ok thanks a lot I will try, even if I play from the war thunder launcher not steam

This is primarily a DirectX 12 (DX12) error.
kernel32!BaseThreadInitThunk (Windows kernel thread initialization)
ntdll!RtlUserThreadStart (NT kernel-level thread management).
This indicates the crash propagated to the OS kernel after the DX12 failure

I tested something, and it turned out that I crash 3-8 seconds after the incendiary bomb detonates.
in test flight looking directly at it…

Hello guys,

I’am having the same issue and after some testing, it is defenetivily bonded to the drop of incendiary bombs.

I think we should report it via bug report like necronomica said. The bug is easy to recreate in custom battles.

There is a report on it already that you can press “i have the same issue” on to give it more visibility:

Same here — sometimes it crashes after selecting a tank, other times right after I spawn or play for a few seconds. I’m on a laptop with integrated graphics, and even after updating the drivers, checking, and verifying the game files, the issue still isn’t fixed. Gaijin really needs to fix their game.

yeah I have the same issue as well

my PC gets rebooted - especially while starting a GRB or at the Mission Accomplished/Failed screen.
I notice that while booting the game, sometimes it says Battleye update failed.

have updated GPU drivers / done a clean uninstall and reinstall of the game / verified files etc.
No idea how to fix this shit.

CPU - i914900 K
GPU - RTX 4090
RAM - 128 GB DDR5
SSD installed - changed installation location to different SSD as well.

this issue is quite repititive and happens after every 7-8 matches and sometimes on booting the game as such.

I have been having this issue too and I have nvidia overlay set to display performance metrics while in game. I usually dont see my GPU above 70% or my CPU above 30% and it still crashes.

it was XMP profile for me, I disabled it, and my RAM defaulted to very low speed which fixed it.
