Potential Fix for Video.con crash
Posted: 2015-06-10 14:46
Hi guys, I like many others was suffering from the PR 1.3 video.con critical error crash. I tried all of the solutions mentioned on the board to no avail.
However, I believe that the crash was something to do with my Nvidia control panel settings, in particular having v-sync set to 'adaptive' and having the PR launcher and profile setting of v-sync off.
Since changing my Nvidia v-sync setting to off, and PR's v-sync on i was able to play a full round of well over an hour without crashing, whereas before I had crashed randomly within 30 minutes.
Not saying this is a definite fix but it seems to have worked for me. So if you are a Nvidia GPU user and are getting the video.con crash, try this out and report back if it works.
Update:
Have now played all day without a single crash or problem
