[SOLVED] Euro Truck Simulator 2 Crashes To Desktop (No Mods)

[Matt Hsv]

Hello all I Love Euro Truck Simulator 2 and have had the game since it came out on V1.0 but lately I am having a major problem with my Euro Truck Simulator 2 game. I was playing it on the old install from disk (non steam) when i would get these random crashes every 15-20mins to desktop for no reason. The audio for the game would still play but the game would like tab out and you can not get back into the game without ending the process and starting the game again. I thought ah yeah I will make the game the steam version and then verify the game files and this will fix the problem. This of course did not fix my problem here are the logs. Thanks and I hope we can fix this problem so I can get back to playing this great game.

Update video drivers.

[Cadde]

Try running the game in windowed mode for a while to see if the problem persists.
I am not saying you should be running it in windowed mode for all future, but i feel some other application is stealing focus (in a bad way i might add) and thus breaks the way ETS 2 recovers from such an event.

Are you running XFire or similar applications? Applications that add overlays in 3D games etc?

@Ohaha, he has updated drivers, they are as new as they can be as far as i can tell.

EDIT:

That said, perhaps he is running drivers that are TOO new? Or beta? I don't know anything about crappy AMD/Ati cards.

[n4gix]

I note the first <Error> message has to do with a failed radio stream... Perhaps not trying to use the "radio" while troubleshooting might be a good idea?

[Matt Hsv]

Thanks for the fast replies yes I have the latest video drivers this problem has been going for a long while and I can't work out what it is I have xfire and msn going but that is no different to what I had going before all of this started. I thought it might be the radio but I tried playing without it and it still crashes 15-20 mins. No overheating either this is the only game that does this.

[Cadde]

Nice spot Bill, i missed that completely. Could be the cause yeah!

EDIT: Actually, the radio stream error happens 2 minute before his present failure. So maybe not.

[Reinhard]

00:04:32.421 : <ERROR> [dx9] Present failed. [0x88760868]

I had that mesage also, but rarely. Audio was continued, screen all black.

Reducing the amount of over-clocking (GPU) seems to have helped, fingers crossed.

[Matt Hsv]

Nice spot Bill, i missed that completely. Could be the cause yeah!

EDIT: Actually, the radio stream error happens 2 minute before his present failure. So maybe not.

Actually I couldn't fit the whole log in because there was too many errors meaning too many characters.

The DX9 errors go from:
00:04:32.421 : <ERROR> [dx9] Present failed. [0x88760868]
until
00:04:44.792 : <ERROR> [dx9] Present failed. [0x88760868]
********** The log file exceeded its limit size, truncated.

the errors are always the same.

[Reinhard]

And if the game engine wouldn't have gave up (log file truncated), these lines would be repeated until the game's process is terminated or your hard disk is up to the brim.

As I understand it the game has lost the connection to the Windows DirectX interface, and as it looks this is not recoverable.

My guess is that the graphics card is on strike. For whatever reason.

[Cadde]

Nah, this can happen for many reasons. Having programmed DX applications in the past, this is normally caused by the game not getting a chance to release the device before another application gains focus and hooks into the device.
Thus when returning to ETS 2, the device is in an "irrecoverable" state. It can be recovered of course but not when the game has no idea what to do about it.

In short though, simply avoiding the cause of the issue (which would be external in this case) would solve the problem.
Or running windowed mode, which differs in how devices are lost and recovered.
