AMS Crashing briefly after getting in track

JoelGL · Jul 30, 2016

Hi, I've posted this in reiza forums but haven't gotten any feedback, as I presume it's not common. The game keeps crashing (event logs point to dinput8.dll) when I start driving on track. Initially tried disabling/deleting Dynhud and it worked for a while, w/c is why I asked for alternative track map apps should I not have Dynhud available. But now it no longer works even w/o Dynhud. Tried GID too but same issue, w/ or w/o GID. Anyone have an idea how to address this? Verified files so many times already. TIA.

Did you read the User's Guide ?

As one of the most encountered reasons for such problems are mentioned in there.

Here is a list of all the applications that we have had reports of causing issues:
 MSI Afterburner
 MSI GamingApp
 Gigabyte OC Guru
 Spacedesk
 Radeon Settings

Do you use any of these ones ? If so, try to disable the possible culprit.

NB: I think I remember for example that MSI Afterburner used the D3D9.dll
It might already make problems with XD when racing with Race07.

I had a similar problem and solved it by deleting dynhud.dll in the Plugins folder(and using native hud in settings).
I use Afterburner/RTSS and realize that might have been causing it, will have to restore backup and test later.

Thanks again for the help. MSI afterburner appears to be the culprit as AMS's working fine now after some test runs. Didn't think it would be as AMS was working fine ever since the start, until perhaps the last update. Cheers!
