Rf1 crash on exit

[Deleted]

Over the last few weeks I was getting random game crashes when leaving an event or exiting the game. Now there becoming more frequent with rf1 and gsc 13 after a session sometimes during it will crash to desktop with this horrible sound glitch that can only be fixed with a full system reboot.
Sometimes I'll get the program not responding and rfactor has stopped working warnings, other times things seem to shutdown properly with no warnings but that sound glitch continues ?
Any suggestions ?
Asides from windows updates nothing has been changed driver wise I did install a asus 5.1 sound card about 3 months ago

Are you running GID? I have some weird issue where rF will crash cleanly (no issue other than a Windows pop-up notification) when exiting but this only happens for a day then it goes away for maybe a week or two then comes back for a day. I think it's related to TeamSpeak and GID not cleanly releasing DirectX overlays but I haven't confirmed that.

You could try and remove GID (remember to also remove the custom d3d9.dll it uses) and see if that makes a difference.

no GID installed i dont use any onscreen plugins....only plug in is fanaleds and realfeel. I havent had it crash after leaving a mp with teamspeak used. For the most part it happens exiting single player practice. I wonder if it has to due with the sound card?
Drivers are up to date and the registry is clean

Two things come to mind, one maybe when you installed the sound drivers maybe some element of DX changed, so reinstalling the ones supplied in the rF1 files may sort it, two, you do experiment alot, so maybe you have left something around that is causing an issue.

But given the sound glitch...My first port of call would be reinstalling directx.

Try this for kicks and giggles

• Right click your sound manager (speaker icon).
• Choose "Playback Devices"
• Highlight whatever you are playing your sound through
• Choose Properties
• Choose Advanced
• Uncheck "Allow applictions to take exclusive control of this device"
• Click Ok
• Click Ok

See if the problem persists.

I'll give those a go....I reinstalled the sound driver and made sure the the internal sounds had been turned off and the latest whql gpu driver installed

Thanks Kelly seems to have helped....also realized my speakers and sound card were capable of better quality while doing those settings!
