Game crashes since yesterday 15.02.25

[Schneidebrett]

Hi y'all,

before the game crashes it freezes and sometimes it even starts playing again somewhat. Only with glitches like pink textures appearing / stoboscobing and white "ghost-bushes" randomly appearing and beeing gone the next frame.

What changed?

Until yesterday i the only thing that changed, is that i started playing ground again instead of aviation.

As of today:
- I updated the drivers
- I validated the game files
- I dialed back a few settings since everything was kinda on max (4080 Super)

It did not work.

Also i tried shutting off my second screen (Watching amazon prime). This didn't help as well.

Yesterday the restarts helped. Today they don't.

Maybe a background prgramm like citrix workspace is causing the issue?

I didn't try aviation since, because my time is sadly limited. ...


The rose textures do not appear on screenshots which leads me to think that it's the gpu. But since the GPU is kinda new and has been treated well, i hope it's not the gpu....

Anyone knows how to read out the crashfile? Because I didn't capture the error code sadly.

The "Ghost bushes" can be seen on my steam page

EDIT: On further analysis the ghost bush is also pink bevor it fully appears...

EDIT2: When i restart the game to join the fight again, i need to restart the game AGAIN because for some reason the anticheat didn't boot with the startup after the crash or whatever. ....

Then re-install/install the latest driver(s) and re-test.

In order to investigate issues thoroughly we need ALL the files asked for.

Thank you. I tried all above steps.

It works much better and is playable. EXCEPT: New Error corde:

2a57e32efb

But it only crashed once since a few hours and I had three huge stutters (But the Game didn't crash)

I also activated the FPS count. Before the game freezes the fps count drops to around 50 from 165 fps.
What differs a mere freeze from a crash, i cannot tell.

What's the next step, boss?

It's all there in my previous post. There is a known issue with the latest release of Windows 11, I believe,

[Schneidebrett]

Thank you for the quick response. I haven't had a windows update in the timeframe above.

The Problem seems to be with the latest hotfix.

It is not wide spread then. We have the issue with Windows 11 impacting many. But Win 10 are not impacted. My machine is completely stable. I cannot remember the last time I had a crash. We will need the files to look into it.
