Crash when it`s raining with EA Enabled

[331BK 96]

Hi Guys,

I have a very strange behavior with EA Enabled.

As soon as it starts to rain my Computer crashes (complete shutdown), with EA Disabled no issues? Any idea what this can be?

Already tried with GPU and CPU at Stock speeds, same behavior.

EA is heavier on your system than regular weather.

Rain itself taxes your system a lot as each drop has to be calculated.

Together it is even more taxing on your system.

Just reduce some sliders to give your system some breathing space 🤓

Thanks, i will try that have to admit i never thought about that. 

Strange is the temperatures and everything are absolutely ok, and as i mentioned i tried with stock CPU and GPU settings so i wouldn`t expect a crash.

Don't forget that EA is still in beta and unusual things can and will happen.

My ac crash 100% of the time when ea depicts rain. I usually check if rain is in forcast and switch to non EA if needed.

started doing the same thing 😞 Hope with HF3 or 5.1 it will work better.

I am sure that with V5.1 it will be better...

EA is no longer beta and I still have CTD when there is rain or snow. Beginning to wonder if its a AMD thing.

Can you measure your VRAM usage when this happens? I agree it is odd.. worth posting on P3D forums to see if this is an issue that can be fixed with the upcoming HF1.

When you post let me know the link so I can point LM devs to it to check it out.

Sometimes a change in vram will register. For instance it was snowing and vram usage was1.9gb. I switched on EA and it jumped to 3.0 , weather injected without precip, you could see enviro change 2 secs later no precip appeared and then ctd.

3.0 Gb and how much you had free?

I have 8gb card, so probably 4gb free.

so this sound like a bug.. I advise to report your video card and steps to replicate on P3D forums.
