General Tips
Please try these steps if your game crashes:
- Verify game files (Epic Games Store or Steam);
- Run the game as an administrator;
- Reinstall DirectX;
- Force run the game in DirectX 11;
- Update the Unreal Engine;
- Disable built-in\integrated GPU;
- Disable CPU or GPU Overclocking;
- Update your drivers to the latest version;
- Disable Windows Firewall or Antivirus Program;
- Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime;
- Apply the latest Windows updates;
- Try using AMD Clean Up Utility;
- Disable Image Sharpening in Nvidia Control Panel;
- Disable Fullscreen Optimizations;
- Try setting a higher priority for Dakar Desert Rally in Windows Task Manager;
- Set High Performance in Power Options;
- Before starting the game, disable all controllers (steering wheels, gamepads, headphones, and even a keyboard). In some cases, they can cause unexpected issues;
- Try disabling Overlay Apps and Background Applications;
- If you have multiple monitors connected, try leaving only one primary;
We recommend doing a full clean of GPU drivers and making a fresh install of the latest version. If a new version doesn’t fix it, maybe try one of the older ones. NVIDIA recommends Display Driver Uninstaller for clean removal, so you may want to start with it.
