PR Crashing while loading new map

[Tyso3]

Hi all, Been around on PR since its very early days so im not new to this.


I have had NO issues at all, even when i used to run PR on my crappy laptop


But since the last update for some reason i am having a bizarre crashing bug.


Game will startup fine, will load the map fine, will let me play the entire round etc all good.


but as SOON as they next map starts loading (doesnt matter what it is) my Project reality will stop working and go back to desktop, no error message no nothing.

When i relaunch and rejoin the same server, the map loads fine.


So the issue only appears when loading a new map when i have already played at least 1 map on the server.


Anybody had issues like this or similar? The only thing i can think of that has changed on my system side of PR is turning effects from MED to HIGH, however i have now put them back to what they were before, to no effect.


Any help would be appreciated.

usually caused by running out of RAM, or virtual memory, or virtual memory on your HDD being too slow, or running out of video RAM. (or fragmented pagefile, full HDD, running notebook in power saving power mode, )

Please post your system specs:

I'd guess you're running out of VideoRAM.
Try to minimize the amount of VRAM being used by windows in the background,
you can do this manually, or you can download razer gamebooster.
If you set your windows desktop to look like WindowsXP classic , it saves like 40MB to 70MB of videoRAM.

Also try deleting shader cache:
PRLauncher->Support->Utilities ta->Clear Shader Cache button.

I will attempt the shader cache, as that has solved problems in the past.

But considering i often run Arma 3 with mods on 75 player servers with no similar issues, i highly doubt it is VRAM, especially as it has not happened anytime prior.

Clearing the cache appears to have sorted it thus far, 2 seperates games have loaded new map. Will update if problem persists
