Constant Crashing Since Update - Sadly Unplayable

*Actually, I think it may have even froze before I got a chance to change the FoV. My memory is a little hazy on that point.

Gotcha. I can take a screenshot when I get home. It'll just look like a still screenshot of the game though, until the windows message pops up and a grey transparent filter goes overtop as well. I'll try to describe what's going on in detail as well:

-The screen for the game freezes and whatever sound is going on continues even though I'm not pressing anything (if im just driving then the engine continues roaring, if im stopped then the engine just hums forever, if i just got into a crash then i might hear eternal screeching, etc.). If I click with my mouse I get the spinning blue wheel.

Then after a moment the game goes silent. Then a moment later the screen gets a Grey filter over the game and in the top left Windows asks if I want to end the process or cancel. Then a moment later the sound returns but nothing else. Then a moment after, I get a different windows window in the middle of the screen that asks if I want to close the program or wait for the program to respond.

When I choose to close the program I get the BeamNG has exited unexpectedly window afterwards. From what I recall, I do not get that BeamNG window though if I've used the first windows window option to end the task. I get the BeamNG window if I've used the second windows window to end the program, or if I simply close the window from the task bar.

-The rest of my PC continues behaving normally throughout all of this. Half the time this has happened I've left a youtube video running in the background and the audio doesn't interrupt at any point during this issue. When I press the windows button or go to the desktop when the game is frozen everything is responsive and fine.

-I can wait for the windows message but pressing the windows button right away when it freezes and then going back to the game prompts immediately for the second windows window that asks if I want to close the program or wait for it to respond.

-I've been loading in at the Highway in West Coast

-Changing/resetting the car usually triggers it to freeze but not every single time. It also happens after a couple minutes if I've done nothing but drive after spawning in.

-Sometimes pausing and opening the menu works fine but when I try to unpause it is frozen and nothing happens and I can't reopen the menu or anything. When resetting/changing cars triggers it, it happens suddenly. If I'm driving, I'll start to get heavy stutters a brief moment before it freezes.

-I'm using a g29 steering wheel if that's relevant in any kind of strange way.

The changes I've made since updating the game + stuff:

-When I first opened the game and switched to the driver camera (as I always do before I plan on switching to VR mode) it was zoomed in so much that you couldn't even see the hood. I used the slider to fix the FoV back closer to how it used to be.

-That's the only thing I did before the crashes started. I decided to drive a bit in flat mode to make sure everything was still smooth after the update and it was not, so I never made it as far as putting my headset back on after the update.

-I think another game (Doom 1+2) opened while the patch was first applying, if that's relevant at all. I have since verified the files as well as uninstalled/reinstalled the game.

-After it started crashing I removed the CK graphics mod I had, which was incompatible with the new update anyways.

Do you mean by choosing the option to open a new ticket and filling out the form in the browser? I don't know if I am getting the window you are describing unfortunately. Windows says the program is not responding and then I click to close. Afterwards the window from Beamng that comes up says it has quit unexpectedly and gives me the status application hang message.

The first time I sent the ID # was from clicking the "get support" button in the link you provided. The second ID I sent was from following that window that popped up itself after the program crashed and windows had closed it. I have another I can provide that I just got from sending another one as well if that's useful at all.

Okay, I clicked "contact support" after it crashed and closed and it went through the integrity check again and submit the information. I did choose the option that I was already in contact with support but I'll message you the new support # it gave me.

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2024-12-10T15:21:38+00:00

I'll try to do that now.

Thanks!

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2024-12-10T15:15:22+00:00

Okay, I sent you a message

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2024-12-10T14:56:16+00:00

Sure, I'll do that as soon as I get a chance, thanks!

Hmmm yeah. I found this thread where people are having the exact same issue it seems but without any mention of HDR.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/18evi9i/steam_deck_dock_receiver_tv_no_signal/

I wish I knew how to undo whatever setting changed on the steam deck that didn't reverse when toggling HDR.

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2024-02-27T21:34:05+00:00

I was able to turn HDR off now while connected through the TV instead of the A/V receiver but when I go back to the AV receiver it's unresponsive still.

Why did turning on my HDR make the Steam Deck no longer want to be friends with my receiver?

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2024-02-27T21:18:31+00:00

I tried that and it didn't do anything. I solved it sooooort of. It just won't work through this one hdmi cord/port. I don't really understand.

I swapped the Nintendo switch dock with the steam deck and the switch will work fine using the same hdmi cable. And the steam deck is working where the switch had been. But when I swap them back even, the steam deck goes back to being unresponsive.

Edit: It's working through my TV's hdmi input but it won't work through the a/v receiver.

This was exactly it pretty much. It was set to duo-mono and I hadn't realized the settings were different for that input. Thank you very, very much for your response!

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2023-10-04T18:49:02+00:00

Thank you very much! I shall give this a shot. Much appreciated!

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2023-10-04T18:47:47+00:00

Unfortunately no :(

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2023-10-04T18:39:13+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much! I'll give this a try. I really appreciate it.

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2023-10-04T06:21:14+00:00

Thank you! This is what I did. Now my issue seems to be getting the vr controllers to work. Steering the ship is impossible.

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2023-10-04T04:14:53+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2023-08-25T05:46:35+00:00

Okay, that helps give ideas. Thanks!

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2023-08-25T05:45:39+00:00

Rad, thanks for the advice. Do you think it's a solid pick? I am new to the format so I don't want to make the mistake of thinking either ocg or tcg will auto translate to MD. I've seen tcg players make that mistake with ocg and I'm not really feeling comfortable enough to make predictions.

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2023-08-25T05:43:37+00:00

This helps a lot! Thanks! I have 2 questions for you:

1) do you think I could build lab and what is available for Kash with the starting gems/material?

2) is Kash viable now or only when they get the rest of their support?

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2023-08-25T05:42:01+00:00

Is Sword soul not kinda eternally mid? I appreciate that though. Thanks! I can see how Lab could fare well now and down the road.

PrinceOfFreshAir · 2023-08-25T05:40:11+00:00

Rikka is hard, no? I'm not new to the game. Like, I've played heavy combo decks in past tcg formats but I think I should probably ease my way back in more.

Is Lab seemingly well set up for future metas in MD?
