Game crashes after 5-10 minutes

[Sky_AU]

I've recently got a new laptop, and when I try to play Project Reality on it the game consistently crashes within 5 to 10 minutes after joining a server. The dump file can be found here, and my specs are listed below. Any help is appreciated!

Specs:
CPU: i5-12450HX
GPU: Intel ARC A530M 4GB
RAM: 16GB DDR5

Make sure that you're on the newest Xe driver version, also try manually installing DXVK if you haven't done so.

Thank you for the reply, but I'm not on Linux and neither do I have an Intel Xe graphics card, so these are not useful to me. Also, the game runs without crashing if I run it on Intel HD Graphics, but the performance is very low on that so I'd like to use my dedicated GPU instead. I know that ARC graphics cards are kind of new and not totally compatible with everything yet, but still there has to be some way to make it work because I really want to be able to play PR again.

Intel GPUs since 12th Gen integrated don't have native DirectX9 support anymore. Instead they use DX9 to DX12 compatibility layer that is installed with the driver. Unfortunately, quality and stability of Intel drivers aren't quite there yet. That's why, in addition to updating drivers, it's better to bypass Intel's DX9 compatibility layer by using dxvk. It's not made specifically for Windows but it works on Windows as well.

Download latest dxvk.tar.gz package from their GitHub releases page (v2.5.3 as of this writing), keep extracting files until you have 32-bit d3d9.dll in your hands, and copy it to your PR install folder. It's the same folder where PRBF2.exe application is. Then create a text file named dxvk.conf and add this line into it

Code: Select all

d3d9.deviceLossOnFocusLoss = True

Save the dxvk.conf file in the same folder with d3d9.dll and PRBF2.exe. Make sure the file name extension is indeed .conf and not .conf.txt.
