Assetto Corsa - Windows Error Reporting messages in event log, and slower performance

[FuzzyHead]

Ever since a week or so ago, I've started getting "Windows Error Reporting" messages (normally three) each time I exit Assetto Corsa back to content manager. I've just re-installed AC, CM, CSP & Sol from scratch, with no mod cars/tracks, and it's still happening.

All subsequent runs of after this have a noticeably lower framerate, until a re-boot.

The errors in Event log are like this:

----------------

Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?

(Running on Win 10 1909 18363.778. with NVIDIA 445.87 Drivers. These are new - but the problem pre-dated them, and did not co-incide with the NVIDIA update before then.)

FaultTolerantHeap is a debug feature in Windows when applications crash too often, making the program run slower.
Maybe your Windows install think that ACS.exe is crashing.
Google "Windows 10 Fault Tolerant Heap" and find article about others struggling with this and how to disable the FaultTolerantHeap feature.
Basically the "fix" may be to adjust a registry value: "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FTH\Enabled" and set value to 0.
Fyi, i have not experienced or tested this myself.

Thanks. That's really helpful. I had googled the error message, but always in conjunction with Assetto Corsa, or ACS.EXE, and had never seen the generic pages that you put me on to.

I've made a change suggested by one of the pages I found, and we will see how it goes...

 

[FuzzyHead]

It appears fixed. Thank you!

I reset the list of applications tracked by FTH, using the command suggested at the bottom of this page.

I've done numerous short tests and benchmark runs, and all appears well so far.

THIS NEEDS TO BE PINNED FOR MODDED ASSETTO INSTALLS

Instead of fully deactivating "Fault Tolerant Heap", you can add acs.exe in exclusion list.

VR - Low frame rate after quitting race and restarting

This is a very odd issue, here is what happens. It is happening to 2 other people I know on intel processors (8700k and my 9900k) On a fresh re boot I hold 90 FPS with 24 cars on track no problem If I start a second race or 3rd, or 4th....I experience all sorts of AWFUL frame drops, i start at...

I'm going through this right now. CM offered to edit the FTH in registry because of performance. First time I denied it, CM made me a file of the changes it wanted to make thenn this morning I allowed it and now I'm crashing the same way. I guess I'll revert and see if it helps sort it out. I'm new to CM and CSP but not to AC. CM ran fine until I started to add mods and skins are going into wrong folders sometimes.I just tried to view the file but it just applied the changes to FixFTH.reg again. Thought I could view it with regedit but guessed wrong. Thanks for this info, I'm gonna have another go at it.

 

[Edward Gonzales]

Oh nice it's working and started really fast too. I was gonna try to downgrade first before going into the registry but the event was the same so used the same repair. Funny now I remember why I got away from modding lol. G'day (for now)!

I've started getting this issue also, and would like to try adding ACCM to the exclusion list, but I have win10 and not win7. Are the instructions the same?

As for me I don't know, take your time and be careful Racer-Frank. Hope you get it sorted out.

Yes it's the same.
BTW this video about adding assetto corsa in exclusion list is made on Win10.

Hey guys. I did what the video suggested (yesterday as of this post.) So far no issues, though load times are about the same.

AWESOME!!!
This fixed the issue for me too. Read many threads about reinstalling, delete, remove, go to stock. It was the windows error reporting. Changing the reg key, reboot problem fixed.
