Please provide a DXDiag and vulkaninfo, and tell us whether or not your game is modified. An indication of when this happened (e.g. on first starting the game, in the start menu, when choosing a gamestart, after playing for a while) would also help.

I am facing this error too. It comes in different situations: at the very game start, at first save load, at sector or station approach. Here's my DXDiag and VulkanInfo information: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing.

Your graphics drivers are very out of date. The very latest NVidia drivers seem to fix a number of issues that people were having with other recent drivers, so it should be safe to update now. Make sure you update directly from the NVidia site; do not rely on Windows Update.

I have updated my graphics card driver to version 576.80, but the error still persists:

It gets me frustrating. I've faced 3 crashes in a row while launching the game. After i was able to lauch it, i got crashes in 2 and 7 minutes one after another. And all of them were with exit code 123 and different textures in error message.

You might want to perform a full file verification on the game using the Steam (or GOG) client, just to make sure there are no file issues.

It would also be good to know what graphics settings you're using. Can you provide the config.xml file from the Documents\Egosoft\X4\[SteamID] folder, where [SteamID] is a numeric value?

All of your Windows Error Reports in the DxDiag are LiveKernelEvent crashes. Those are not from game code as the OS prevents it from causing them, but are more usually from hardware or device driver issues. If you have now ensured driver integrity, then I would look at doing some integrity and stress testing of system memory, drives, power, cooling, and cpu to check if they can all stand up to the demands and loading of such as X4.

Well, now i am really think that the cause is in my PC. My laptop is a bit weaker than PC but it withstands X4 load perfectly.

Is there any way i can determine what thing causes game crashes?

By using the built in Windows tests for system RAM and drives, by stress testing cpu and gpu using free to download tools, and by using system tools monitoring temperatures and voltages while playing. The error messages only really show that the system is crashing profoundly and not in detail what aspect is causing this to happen, that is why independent tests and monitoring are needed.

I think i found the issue. X4 doesn't likes FPS Monitor even if it turned off but running on background. It's been third day of hard playing without any problems.

Good to know. Thanks for reporting back.

For the record, that is already mentioned on our Wiki Page about external tools that can cause crashes.
