War Thunder VRAM issues

[Froody129]

Specs:

 

i5 6600

8Gb DDR4

1060 6GB

1440p resolution with 1280x1024 side monitor

 

I'm having texture issues in War Thunder after the new update. I have validated Steam files (73 broken files!) and installed the newest drivers through Geforce Experience. I have all graphical settings at max

 

The game is forcing medium texture settings and in-game textures will sometimes load at very low resolution. In the settings it says there is a VRAM shortage. Afterburner shows Memory Usage as just over 2000MB while playing. The game eventually freezes and then I get an error message saying that the application does not have access to the graphics hardware. I don't have this problem in other games

 

Any ideas?

not sure .. looks to me you are having TDR errors - those can be caused by defective hardware

update the drivers with DDU in between - if that doesn't fix it, use TDR Manipulator and disable TDR; if that doesn't fix it return to TDR Manipulator and restore defaults

 

you should also post on Gaijin's forums

 

 

doesn't also hurt to check RAM with MemTest86

if RAM comes up OK, also run in a cmd window:

sfc /scannow

and

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
