General Tips
Please try these steps if your game crashes:
- Verify game files (Epic Games Store or Steam).
- Before starting the game, disable all controllers (steering wheels, gamepads, headphones, and even a keyboard) and the respective Overlay Applications and Background Applications.
- 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 GeForce Experience.
- Disable Fullscreen Optimizations.
- Try setting a higher priority for Dakar Desert Rally in Windows Task Manager.
- Set High Performance in Power Options.
- 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.
