F1 Crash practice

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, i have a big problem with my F1 2016,it crashes every time i try to do a practise session.
It happens with the all play mode (quick race,champsionship and carrer mode).
It crashes as soon as you are in the cockpit, so I can't neither change assets or go on the track. I tried also to change tracks,cars and pilots but it happens with all of them.
I also tried without any peripherals plugged into the PC.
I have got an Intel core i7-6700 16GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080.
What I'm supposed to do? The game is unplayable.
Please answer me. i tried recheck the game files via Steam and reinstall the game.

Hi @1Riskohanko, can you take a look here and send me a crash dump please. My first thoughts are make sure your graphics drivers are up to date and try running with lower graphics settings / anti aliasing to see if that helps stop the crash.

I have what sounds like the same issue. 

However, I have found that I can do a quick race no problems. But practice, qualifying, time trail all crash as soon as I would have got control (and not before this point which means in one shot qualifying my car gets to the line then the game crashes).

My graphics card is up-to-date and I have tried playing with graphics settings including setting to lowest.

@Lozzy I am about to send you a crash dump and have ones from other sessions if required.

@OzzyRacer17your crash is in your Nvidia driver. Your DXDiag shows two display adapters, NVIDIA GeForce GPU and Intel(R) HD Graphics 520. I don't know much about Laptops for playing games but make sure you're running the game on the one that you expect. Both have drivers that are a bit old so updating those wouldn't hurt I don't think. I don't understand why Quick race would work but other modes wouldn't though.

Thanks for your response. Me neither.

I have a Surface Book so graphics driver releases are controlled by Microsoft and are behind the curve. Perhaps waiting for them to catch up is the best solution for now.

It might be worth doing a bit of reading, I believe games can sometimes run on the wrong graphics card but as I said my knowledge of such things is almost zero.

Thank you for the crash dump. Again your crash is in the Nvidia driver, I don't have the means to give you any more information than that. Can you send me a DXDiag too @1Riskohanko, instructions are in the same thread as for finding crash dumps.

@1Riskohanko thanks for the DXDiag, it's a nice PC you've got. Have you tried lowering anti aliasing settings? It might also be worth trying a lower resolution to see if that helps. I'm clutching at straws a bit here though.

It might also be worth a look at this thread too.
