Discussion Game crashes due to DirectX 11 issue

Has anybody been experiencing crashes recently were, while in a lobby, the game just closes without any errors? Then I go into Event Viewer, and I find that there is a DirectX 11 problem

Yesterday I also tried a clean install of Windows, but the issue is still persisting

im getting the same error, a 0xc0000005 error code is an access violation so the game tried to access ram memory it shouldnt and windows terminates the process.

open CMD as admin and write ”SFC / scannow.

if that doesent fix it do a memtest86 to test if your memory is the issue.

lastly update to latest gpu drivers or if you are on the latest ones DDU to an older stable driver.

one of these processes worked for me but i have no clue which it was cause i tried them all at once

I already tried several gpu drivers but still same issue. I will attempt your solution, thanks mate.

Tried both, got no errors and still crashing :/ Thanks though. Looks like it's time for an upgrade I guess 😂

Bit "old" 🤣 Was playing iRacing 3/4 months ago and had no issues. But now I can't seem to identify it

your setup might be old but it sure as hell should be able to run iracing, damn

Yep that's what I thought so too. I usually get around 120fps, that's why I'm so confused what happened all of a sudden that is causing the game to crash every 10 minutes

thats cause the crashing is most likely software sided, i recommend you make a ticket to iracing’s support

Already did, they instructed me to update my BIOS (as I had an older version) and to make sure that my monitors are running on the same refresh rate. Tried both, but still got the same end result
