ATS causing computer to BSoD
I tried to play ATS today and as soon as I started it, my computer crashed and gave me a BSoD with the only code being kernel_mode_heap_corruption. I've done memory tests, scanned and restored my health through command prompt, done the sfc scannow, updated my drivers, verified files, and reinstalled my graphics driver. Nothing has worked. The only description I got in the event viewer for the crash is ROOT\DISPLAY\0000. I'm unsure of what this means entirely, but I am sure it is graphics related. I am just looking to see if anyone has experienced this same thing, and what they did to fix it cause I'm running out of options. The only options that I have left that I know of is rolling back my graphics card to a previous version or reseting my computer. I really don't wanna reset my computer for 1 game, but it's my last resort.

That is a computer issue and not a game issue.

Why not do a search of the code error? The only time the game will access the kernelbase.dll file is upon launching. After that nothing in the kernel is used to my knowledge.

ETA: This could be related to TPM(Trusted Module Platform) switches on your motherboard/bios. If running an ****X3D processor on Windows 10(only for drive encryption as the OS doesn't use TPM otherwise) that could be the cause. Nothing provided spec wise so that is only a guess.

I realise this isn't a game issue, but it only happens on ATS. I've tried plenty of other games and it doesn't happen so I figured if it is happening to this game, then someone might know what's going on cause they have it encountered it themselves.

As for searching up the code, I have and ive done everything that I've seen, but it's hard to narrow down what exactly to do when a number of solutions are provided but only one might work. That's why I'm asking if anything somebody else has done has worked. I'll rollback my graphics card to a previous version and if that doesn't work, I'm stuck.

Root/Display is your GPU Failing!! i had this happen in 2020 which in turn happened to mean buying a whole new PC (all the GPU, Processor, Motherboard etc failed after getting struck by lightning which in turn caused a power surge to happen destroying the Power supply... Insurance wouldn't pay for it because it was a Natural Disaster... not fun! How old is your PC by the way... Because your still running Windows 10 (which is now unsupported by Microsoft as of June 2024) I would suggest you upgrade your Operating System to Windows 11 that might also solve the Crashes you have been having with your PC... the last update that happened for windows 10 happened in June of 2024 and the update is only good for 1 month after that... I would suggest you Upgrade your PC unless you wanna get hacked or even worse have your information taken as Ransomeware!

Windows 10 is actually being supported until October 14, 2025.

I really don't care. You've been proved wrong. A simple oops, sorry I was wrong might actually help you but you can't even admit that you were wrong.

Just move on already.

A "pro" who fails to look up basic information on official websites. No wonder parts of the IT industry are doing poorly considering they have "pros" like you.

you may try to do a rollback via "windows system restore" point.
