You probably have to use DDU to fully delete your old graphics drivers and then get the latest one from the Nvidia app. I first tried to fix the issue with just reinstalling my drivers through the Nvidia app but it was only when I used DDU did it actually resolve the issue.

I think it might have something to do with legacy stuff as Nvidia has recently moved away from Nvidia control panel and GeForce experience, either way war thunder doesn’t like the change.

Happening to me, got an RTX 4060

Problem returned for me too since posting lol, I switched to DX12 and that got rid of it. Aiming in tank sights tank the fps for some reason though.

Happened to me as well and I found a solution looking through other posts. You need to turn down a setting called Terrain Displacement Quality. Doing this worked for me.

Same happened to me since last december update + huge lost of fps specially when I use the sights, I use a 4060ti by the way.

Same issue, nothing fixed already, are devs aware of this issue ?

try reduce the terrain deformation setting, for some reasons at max setting, it will reduce game fps a lot and even more when using sight, reduce it even from max to high will fix the issue.

I had driver crashing during alt-tab/gameplay.
Turns out there was a crypto miner running silently on my PC which was masking its activity in Windows Manager, but Afterburner was showing 100% use.

Malwarebyte detected and removed it, and the problem with crashing driver is gone.

Same message while running at fullscreen. No alt tab, every driver is fresh. After freeze the game either resumes or crashes. Half the time there is no freeze and it just crashes at random. Other games run just fine.
4070ti, ryzen 5 7600x, 32 gb RAM DDR5.
What is to blame?

Hi All…
I encountered the same after upgrading my GPU to RTX5060 Ti 12. To resolve the problems caused by incompatibility of the new drivers with game, I get back to NVIDIA driver 576.28 Apr 25. this solve the issue for me.

I recommend to all, reverting to the older drivers (specifically those released prior to May25) to avoid conflicts until Nvidia or Gaijin release new updates to solve the problem
I hope this information proves helpful

Its rtx on dx 12, dx 11 is no issues. I can’t do anything, even locked on 60 fps the game is crashing. Dropping settings and corrupting textures. Why there is no fix for it for two months? I think there are many people like us.

No it didn’t help for me, maybe it was helping before.

For me it never literally crashed to desktop but corrupted my textures very much and there were half a minute freezes.

Our favourite bug came back

I start getting call stack frames crash instead of this in newer updates. It is better because its not happening this often. Updated bios, driver, and game is patched too. Need to play a little more and hope its gone.

this happens when alt tabbing but it used to not do this

i just alt tabbed to respond to a message then when i came back my game froze. After like 2 minutes of a still screen my game unfroze and my Q-5L hit a mountain at mach 1 and im crew locked now
