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.
