you guys really need to work on the stability of this game. it literally is just war thunder at this point. i tried reinstalling graphics drivers, which usually works. but even this no longer works.
atleast once every time i start war thunder, the game crashes so badly during a match, even the drivers crash. the game hangs, and when it returns, the skin of my tank turned black, and the game followed last input, which is usually drive forward or back. if i did this while i was hiding in cover, the game drives my tank out of cover, and im dead when the game works again.
today was even worse. every 3 seconds i got a framedrop. memory leaks are starting to become a real issue.

Every update used to include the line “Game stability has been improved” (or words to that effect) - clearly they need to start doing that again!

This could be a symptom of an underlying issue with your computer hardware.
i would think that, if it wasnt that everything else of my pc runs just perfectly fine. nothing points to my hardware being at fault. its the stability of the game thats at fault here.
here it clearly shows what i mean. its literally freezing. i already reinstalled drivers. i cleared cache. this game is just too big of a mess and developers need to fix it. i even lowered graphics to lowest, but having 400+ frames dont fix anything here, cause it freezes to zero frames.
Turn on v-sync, and play for a week [pretty much at least one match on every map possible] without reinstalling drivers.
War Thunder, much like American Truck Sim, and older games, cache shaders during play.
Reinstalling drivers resets that [which is why games that cache shaders at startup cache shaders again when you install new drivers].
If it continues, then it could still be a different issue.
v-sync wouldnt really help much. the framedrops are going beyond the refresh rate of my screen. its a literal freeze. unstable framerate isnt the issue here. its a memory leak.
the cache thing i understand. it lags when it loads in assets. however, this problem would occur maybe in the first few seconds of a match when it loads in all assets. not throughout multiple matches.
It’ll happen on any map where there are shaders to cache that haven’t been cached yet.
It’s how I get stutters for about a week into a new driver update.
unbelievable. today a small update got pushed. it fixed the freezing. just a random update. there arnt even patch notes of it. that is how fickle this game’s code is.
