iLikeGam3s Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Basicly it says it all game windowed/minimizes itself sometimes after a while and lockscreen comes on. Also i just had a visual c++ error on top of the app crash when you quit the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iycanthropy Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yes I've had this same issue and the dreaded NVIDIA driver has stopped responding message. The game also moans about the D3D device been removed and to change my texture settings to reduce video RAM! I'm using a GTX 980Ti with 6GB of VRAM! I'm on driver 353.38 which is working perfectly in The Witcher 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLikeGam3s Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Hmm you think its the drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iycanthropy Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Maybe but I'm thinking its more like the rest of the game, not tested thoroughly enough with today's hardware and software setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDeanski Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I have the same issue. The game crashes alle the time, at random but nog longer than ± 10 min of fun, then crash. I changed the installation of the game to C:\ library of Steam, update NVIDIA driver to 353.30 but still the same. I think the games is not tested enough, there is a serious problem on the PC platform. Al my games are running smooth except F1 2015, hope there will come a good patch soon!

iLikeGam3s Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Has anyone tried starting the game as admin see if that fixes it? Its strange that the lockscreen comes on, the pc thinks its inactive and brings the lockscreen. Maybe it is not utilizing the cpu properly under win8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLikeGam3s Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 I disabled the screensaver and the game did not minimize. Also i turned off the "Turn off the display" and "put computer to sleep" timer in power options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSim Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've turned off the screensaver and do not have the 'Turn off Display or Put Computer to Sleep options enabled and the game still drops to the login screen--with screensaver off--or to the screen saver when the screen saver is on.Started game by Running as Administrator, same thing.Pretty frustrating, have been unable to play the game for more than 10 minutes before this nonsense happens. As such the game is unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLikeGam3s Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 What windows are u guys using? what gpus? do you have something in the tray area that can display a bubble notification thus minimizing the game? It always happens on set time (ex. 7 minutes) or random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonlord89 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Got w8.1. R9 270x. I7 920. It happens randomiserade. Often after a minute or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLikeGam3s Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 I have win8.1 x64 and a gtx970. I would recommend installing the latest win 8 updates and close as many tray programs as possible if not done so yet. Try that see if it works.

BobSim Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I have Windows 8.1. Radeon R290 with the latest drivers. I think Steam is the only tray app, I'll try closing that. Probably will fix it.If I have the screensaver on, the game will suddenly go to the screensaver. I hit ALT TAB and it goes back to the game, then ALT TAB again to maximize the window.If I have the screensaver off, the game will suddenly go to the login screen. Once I've entered my password and hit ALT TAB, I am back in the game then another ALT TAB to maximize the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLikeGam3s Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Mine was doing the same but i set the svreensaver timer to 90 minutes in personalize because i saw no option to completely disable it. Maybe try that. And i have steam in tray i don't have that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this?This changed did the trick for me. And i have a lot going on at the tray bar but it does not minimize anymore. If you can not figure anything out most extreme solution is to dual boot win7 and play under win7 or try run it with compatibility but i bet there is going to be input lag or stutter that way.

BobSim Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 No change after the patch, game still drops to the screensaver.I'll wait for the next patch and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSim Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Running with Win7 compatibility turns it into a slide show on my system. I've got absolutely zero power management settings enabled and with the screensaver off or on this bug occurs.Input lag? Yeah, every time a race starts there is a giant dose of input lag it's all I can do to avoid wrecking once the steering starts to work. No matter, the race is usually over by lap 4 (of 5) since the game can't manage to stay in focus for some reason. I don't bother with longer races.

BobSim Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Not a fix but I think I have found a workaround, at least on my system. I simply entered a screen saver active time of six hours (360 minutes) and was able to run two complete quick races of 5 laps each. Like the post above that had a time of 90 minutes, I think that the bug would still happen if I played for six hours, but for now this might be a functional workaround. If I turn off the screen saver then the game will randomly minimize and I am presented with the login screen which is a no go for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonlord89 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 What about the bug "jumps to windowed mode" ? The game jumps to windowed mode after a minute, the screen gets black for a few seconds and I'm loosing control over the car. I've only been able to get a lap at most! This bug is a game breaker!
