The memory could not be "read"

[HappyStoat]

Hi there, right after I start the FarCryVR.bat, I get this error, in parallel to the black screen (nothing happends):

Haha this takes me back, when I was working with the Cryengine 1 in 2004. At that time you often got to see this window.

I installed the game via stream. Even after a clean reinstall it crashes. Maybe it's because of Vridge, I use this software to test It on my smartphone. Maybe you have an idea. The normal Game works without problems. I use Windows 11 and a Nvidia GTX1650.

Ah and of course thanks for your nice work!!! :)

This is what the log said (May be its really the Vridge...): ... Physics initialization MovieSystem initialization Renderer initialization System: INFO: DirectX 12.0 installed System: VideoCard Detected: Intel (Unknown) Direct3D9 driver is creating... Error: Couldn't find any suitable device (Unknown)

The log says it found an "Intel" GPU. If you really only have an Intel iGPU or an ARC card, there is a high chance that this will simply not work. If you do have an NVIDIA or AMD dedicated GPU, you may need to force the game to use it, instead, as it appears it's selecting the wrong GPU.

That's a good tip! But even if I start the app with the nvidia card, the same error comes up. When I start the game normally it looks like this:

Physics initialization MovieSystem initialization Renderer initialization System: INFO: DirectX 12.0 installed System: VideoCard Detected: Intel (Unknown) Direct3D9 driver is creating...

The Sandbox Editor works as well, by the way

You mean it still says "Intel" GPU? Then it is still selecting the wrong GPU. You could try to add the following line in the FarCryVR.bat at the beginning: set DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME=NVIDIA

Not sure what else to suggest.

I will give it a try, but perhaps only the GPUs found are listed in the logs, regardless of which one is actually used. This is what the log says when I completly disable the intel GPU:

Physics initialization MovieSystem initialization Renderer initialization System: INFO: DirectX 12.0 installed System: VideoCard Detected: Unknown () Direct3D9 driver is creating... Error: Couldn't find any suitable device (Unknown)

I will try a different driver as well

Okay it really was the graphics driver, it's working now... Thank you for your help!!
