Crash after Crash

[vince]

8 times today I have crashed. This is getting beyond a joke and is basicly unplayable at the moment...

ok, I'm just going to ask you for:


1. system, GPU, CPU, RAM, windows version (If you want help ALWAYS give system info)

2. validated game cache?

3. do you have updated drivers?

4. graphical settings, LOD slider set to maximum, try setting it back abit

5. if all fails try reinstalling the game

6. is youre system temperatures stable?

Have you run a GPU and CPU stress test to rule out faulty hardware as the cause?

Good point +1

windows 7 pro 64bit, AMD FX(tm)-6350 Six-Core Processor, Memeory 16384MB RAM, NVIDEA GeForce GTX 1050 TI. After each crash a web page opens stating I crashed because of a bug that is not fixed.

My system runs star citizen btw. no trouble running Farcry 5 maxed out.

The 1050 ti is a bit under. I'm 1060 6GB and I run medium graphics just to play smoothly. Go to low and and see what happens.

I shall give that a try thanks. I do wonder why it says i crashed due to a bug mind?

I ran the Heaven Benchmark comes out clean.

I've run this stably on a windows 7 64 machine with a 4gb 1050ti and didn't have to turn the settings right down to achieve 30+ and 50+ (in station and space fps), only difference was a better processor, good fast ram, a very healthy set-up that survives stress testing and all background windows services stopped while the game was running. Got lag spikes but not loads of crashes as you describe. I would give some attention to checking out your system, in case something else is causing you problems.

installed mods? some mods are making this game very slow instead of possibility to cause a crash?

These crashing is something introduced with version 1.50 beta 2. Before that I had X4 running 120+ hours without a single crash (including sessions of 10+ hours). Now I can get X4 into crashing by doing crystal mining in crowded sectors.

Same I have been playing just fine till now. Now sudenly crash after crash.

No mods installed just running the game as is.

After each crash a web page opens stating I crashed because of a bug that is not fixed.

That comes up after any sort of crash that the game detects. Does not mean its the game fault. For example if Vulkan throws some sort of error code back then it is likely that will come up even if the error code is caused by something unrelated to the game such as a driver crash.

The 1050 ti is a bit under.

No it is not. I run X4 on a GTX 760 which is only slightly faster but many generations older. It has 4 GB of memory and is reasonably modern so will run the game fine (although AA and screen space reflection should be turned off for optimum experience).

I ran the Heaven Benchmark comes out clean.

These are not stress tests from what I can tell. They are intended to simulate a reaslitic gaming workload, however some games might deviate significantly from this work load and stress hardware in other ways. This is best shown with extreme overclocking where different tests have different clock speed limits due to the characteristics of the tests.

For GPU something like Furmark. I am not sure what a good one is for CPU.

Of course make sure your graphic drivers are up to date. Also make sure your display is connected to your GPU display interfaces and not the motherboard.

Thank you for your well drafted responce, I have now determined that it is not my machine but more likely to be the new patch that has caused this problem for me. I purchased this game the day it was released and have had no problems till now. I shall just put this on the back burner till the next patch and play star citizen till then. A big thank you to all of you who took the time to try and help me.
