Hi guys Loving the game and the update! Great work!! I do have a problem however which I suspect is caused by R3E: I have started 4 races since the 30/11 update and during 3 of the 4 I have had my computer crash to a BSOD - "whea_uncorrectable_error". On the fourth race I crashed (into another car and spun and restarted the race manually ). The crashes appear to have NOT created a RRRE_crash... dump file - I searched my system and only found some very old ones from 2015 and 2016. I have had 650 hours in this wonderful game with very few problems! I think it's something to do with R3E as it ONLY happens in the game, it happens consistently (3 out of 4 races with one race unfinished) and started occurring only with the update today - never prior to the update. (Note that I have only played with the update AND hotfix; never tried it before hotfix). Details as follows: GAME * 64-bit version running with latest hot-fix and all files verified in Steam * Silverstone Grand Prix (BSOD x 2 in lap 1 turn 1; BSOD x 1 lap 3-ish) * 51 AI GT3 cars and 1 user Callaway Corvette * Running in single screen on high graphic settings (same as before update) SYSTEM (dx-diag edited highlights!) ------------------ System Information ------------------ Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 16299) (16299.rs3_release.170928-1534) System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. System Model: Z97X-Gaming 7 BIOS: BIOS Date: 05/30/14 12:46:35 Ver: 04.06.05 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8 CPUs), ~4.0GHz Memory: 16384MB RAM Available OS Memory: 16230MB RAM -------------- Display Devices --------------- Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Manufacturer: NVIDIA Driver File Version: 23.21.0013.8843 (English) Driver Version: 23.21.13.8843 Drivers updated TODAY but problem persists I realise it could also be that the update/hotfix has exposed a weakness in my system. I would appreciate your thoughts when you have a moment. I am stumped.
It is a system generated error for a hardware failure somewhere, maybe cpu overheating? Try with less cars, 15-20 see if it happens then.
Thanks for the suggestion schlielchen - it happened on both new and previous NVidia drivers, so not the drivers. Thanks NLO. OK - I ran a 23 car GT3 race on 64-bit with no problems at all (1/1 successes anyway!). [Update 2/2] (Heaps of fun but that's for another thread.) It does suggest I have a weak link - I am guessing graphics card rather than CPU as the Steam VR Performance Test said everything on my PC met VR requirements but not my 4-year old GPU which it failed in bold red font which was quite insensitive and hurtful I thought. [I am not running VR - just found the performance test very useful.] I used to be able to run 100-car fields on 32-bit (and probably still can - must try it). Slightly disappointing but not R3Es fault I suspect - if we want cutting edge, we're going to need the hardware to run it huh?
Two more things: a) The bluescreen itself shows a message that tells you what caused the BSoD. While it probably isn't the real cause, it'll point you to it. b) get bluescreenview. I'll create a detailed report on what failed. You'll have to reproduce the crash for it .
Try download a program called WhoCrashed, it reads Windows dump files and roughly translates into what the issue maybe.
Huh... that' strange I got the bsod last night as well but it was when I was trying to install the realtek codec for audio mixer.... I've never seen this screen before nor did I know it existed. Lol
