Found the thread

#

@lavish raptor you've somehow managed to post the relevant image (though it basically says nothing) in a different thread, but I'd start by doing this:

revert settings
reinstall the game
look up where the game stores config files and remove them

Have you tried repairing the Steam game files?

Please note that the NVIDIA game profile optimization/optimize game settings may be wildly inaccurate and should not be used blindly, with the optimization profile should only be used as the minimal baseline for your graphics settings.

It is common for the optimization settings to not show up, or be not able to be applied directly, in the following situations:

game is extremely new (wait a few days before checking again)
laptop hardware, especially involving low end RTX GPUs
CPU and/or GPU is below the game's minimum specifications
game is from Xbox Game Pass

You can revert the changes done by the NVIDIA app by pressing the “REVERT” button on each game in the Graphics Section. If you want to fine tune the graphical settings to reach the desired frame rate and image quality, you will need to look up individual video settings for each game from other sources.

Press revert in the Nvidia app game settings

i have already reinstalled and reverted the app but it seems worst then before now it keeps instant crashing, but i got a strong pc that should easily run assetto corsa

#

#

this seems weird

#

i got 2 assetto corsas in the nvidea app

#

but one of em has like an exclamation mark on it

#

and as you can see in the video i tried to open them via steam aswell as from the nvidea app

#

but it keeps insta crashing

#

but my pc can easily run warzone with no problem

#

i did update my driver for the first time since yesterday

#

do i maybe need to update something else

#

weird tho because i can run other games just fine

#

Never use the rollback option in Device Manager; this will break the drivers and any apps that rely on it. You'll end up needing to DDU for real anyway, so you did double the work.

#

If you have any issues with your graphics card after updating the Nvidia drivers, please perform the following:

Remove the existing Nvidia driver by running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) here: (AutoDDU can be told to use a custom driver link, or you can use the manual version located here.). For a utility to automate DDU as much as possible follow this guide.
You can download drivers from the official site below. (You will need to specify your GPU and operating system.) On a laptop, both iGPU and dGPU drivers should be installed for full functionality and performance.

NVIDIA
AMD
Intel

Ensure that your WiFi/Ethernet/Internet is turned off or disconnected before installation of the driver (Running the .exe file) to prevent Windows Update from overriding the driver installation.
Disconnect all other monitors (except one main monitor) and all unnecessary USB devices before driver installation to prevent device conflicts or black screens.
During driver installation, please select the Custom option when prompted and ensure that Peform a clean installation is checked/ticked before proceeding with the installation.
Please restart your computer after the driver installation is completed.

try an older driver

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 11:10 AM

#

i did that too

#

didnt worked

#

its only with assetto corsa tho

#

thats the weird part

#

and it was doing it too whilst having the older one that why i updated it

#

do you think its something in steam or the game itself

#

my driver? or nvidea app?

nova aurora Feb 25, 2025, 11:15 AM

#

have you tried undoing the game optimization, then nuking config files the game uses, then try starting the game again?

#

I think you did revert it but just to be sure also manually delete the game's config files

#

something not done from the nvidia app in other words

#

You also appear to haven't tried fixing/repairing/reinstalling the game itself

#

if the above doesn't work, follow up with a total uninstall of the game, then delete the game's install folder. Then you reinstall the game.

Note: %USERPROFILE% refers to your Windows user folder (e.g. C:\Users\UsernameHere\)

#

This can be copy-pasted into a File Explorer address bar and it'll just work

keen ocean Feb 25, 2025, 1:21 PM

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

keen ocean Feb 25, 2025, 1:33 PM

#

Did you reinstalled the drivers?

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 1:33 PM

#

keen ocean Feb 25, 2025, 1:33 PM

#

Have you opened this link? @lavish raptor

#

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 1:41 PM

keen ocean Feb 25, 2025, 1:42 PM

#

So we're actually dealing with a kid @nova aurora

nova aurora Feb 25, 2025, 1:42 PM

#

lavish raptor i did but idk what all this means

#

then press the "ENTER" key on your keyboard

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 1:42 PM

#

nova aurora Feb 25, 2025, 1:42 PM

On some keyboards, it may be labelled "RETURN"

nova aurora Feb 25, 2025, 1:42 PM

See the contents of this folder?

Delete all of them.

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 1:42 PM

#

i found this

nova aurora Feb 25, 2025, 1:43 PM

#

Then start the game again.

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 1:43 PM

#

the assetto corsa map or in the cfg

nova aurora Feb 25, 2025, 1:43 PM

#

lavish raptor

Everything you see here. (I'd consider sending them to the Recycle Bin first just in case.)

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 1:44 PM

#

#

still crashing

#

but the other game somehow is also crashing

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 1:45 PM

#

lavish raptor

look at this video

#

nova aurora Feb 25, 2025, 1:49 PM

#

lavish raptor

It looks like your installation of Assetto Corsa is broken

#

It's not a driver issue if this error shows up

#

hmm

keen ocean Feb 25, 2025, 1:50 PM

#

Did you even repair the game files with steam?

#

Right click on the game, press properties. Press installed files "Verify File Integrity"

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 1:52 PM

#

i did

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 1:52 PM

#

nova aurora It looks like your installation of Assetto Corsa is broken

ima reinstall the whole game again

#

i noticed i had 2 maps named assetto corsa

#

i deleted both of them and now ima reinstall the game via steam

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 2:21 PM

#

nope still crashing

#

it worked for 5 min

#

then

#

i tried remapping some keys

#

and it crashed

#

and now it keeps crashing when i start it up

nova aurora Feb 25, 2025, 2:29 PM

#

lavish raptor i tried remapping some keys

Try doing it WITHOUT remapping any keys

#

If the game stops crashing after you don't do this, I'd suspect you've a bad interaction between the game and what's likely your current keyboard layout

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 2:36 PM

#

no remapping as in my steer

#

and i got 3 of them

#

but once i go to the menue

#

it already crashes

#

without even remapping

#

does it have to do with my motherbaord?

#

or my gpu

#

maybe because i have a moving background??

#

nope also doesnt work

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 3:09 PM

#

the one i bought the computer from told me that one of the usb ports didnt worked

#

thats the only thing

lavish raptor Feb 25, 2025, 7:17 PM

#

So not able to fix?

nova aurora Feb 26, 2025, 2:08 AM

#

Hmm

#

It looks like you're using additional controllers

#

Can you repro the crash with nothing except your keyboard and mouse connected?
