Game keeps crashing
« on: October 20, 2019, 11:42:56 PM »
I am having a heck of a time keeping AH from not crashing....What is happening is the screens will go black, then go white...still have all audio. Have to use the windows key and  then close the game. Specs on the machine is AMD Ryzen 7 2700x...stock clocks and water cooled with a deepcool gammaxx L240v2, MSI b450 gaming pro carbon ac MB, 16g viper dual channel 3200mhz ram (it is approved ram) and a sapphire rx590 nitro+ se oc 8gb at stock clocks ( 1560mhz gpu 2100mhz ram) and an evga supernova 850 g+ ps, all in a deepcool case with 4 120mm fans ( not including the 2 gpu fans and 2 rad fans...so a total of 8 120mm fans). Lastest bios on MB, lastest AMD drivers. I have an eyeinfinity array at 5900x1080. At first, thought it was a driver issue, a new driver was just released..it is installed ( as it loads terrains and transitions to the tower after entering arena...I get some nasty flickering)...no change, played with wattman for the power and fan controls, as I thought I was maybe overheating....got rid of the ramp up in gpu clock and run full speed just of idle and fans are going full bore by 63degs...and upped the power to try and see if maybe it was a power draw causing the instability. I am not overheating...during furmark burning in at full res...I never go over 63 degs at 100% gpu load for over 30 mins and it is rock solid. All in game  graphic setting are at default settings...sometimes I can fly for an hour, other times 10 mins. This machine should be able to handle the graphics turned up a fair bit, but cant get  it stable at stock settings...I have run out of ideas...any help would be appreciated

My personal favourite to start all fixes is to shut down the computer by pressing the Shift button while clicking Shut Down. That fixes many corrupted Windows settings.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

Forgive me, I know nothing about AMD hardware, but have you tried running on a single screen? If it's stable there, chances are it's in the setup/configuration of the monitors. Seems to me, that 5900 wide is a mix and match setup as well.

Good luck.

Easy in-game again.

Look for a .dmp file in the Aces High temp directory.

Zip it up and attach it to a post or email it to support@hitechcreations.com .

Also curious what frame rate you're getting and how it works with one monitor.

When you  do bezel correction you get some funny resolutions. It's not a likely problem.

the monitors are all matched acer sb22oq monitors...eyefinity set 5932x1080...I recalculated it to the actual monitors resolution and set it to 5760x1080. freesync is also enabled ( they are freesync monitors) I cant remember how to display in game frame rates, but in furmark at 5760x1080 I average 64fps at 100% gpu load

Frame rate in game is CTRL i.

Have you compared DX9 and DX11 versions?

When AH crashes it creates a file with a .dmp extension.

HTC can look at that and maybe see the problem if you send them the file.

I just tried to send the .dmp files...there is 6 of them, and apparently too large to send at 55,000kb each....Ok i zipped up a copy of the folder and sent it

Just checked in game frame rates....depending on view ( internal...external and over water, land, forests) the lowest it seems to go is 60 and up to 150+fps

If you have Win10 anytime you have a problem try rebooting in case there was a background update.

Frame rates look good.

Did you compare DX9 and DX11?  AH3 has shortcuts for both in the start menu.

The windows start menu where it shows Aces High, not the game start menu. There should be links for DX9 and DX11. It defaults to DX11. Try DX9.

I used to run eyefinity fine.  With your frame rate exceeding 150 it makes me think you have something unchecked rather than locking the FPS to the monitor refresh rate.  I seem to remember there was an option in the AH graphics settings that allowed you to turn off Z refresh rate??

Maybe worth looking at

Max framerate tells us how hard the system is working. His monitors are 75hz, he can set V-sync and cap at 75 but he'll get less latency with v-sync off. Freeplay should keep him smooth.
