If there was a "bugsplat" box on a CTD, please fill that in with as much detail as you can (including contact details), they do go directly to the developers.

Thank you for your help.
 
I've tried multiple times to play Le Mans Ultimate, but I keep experiencing persistent Bugsplat crashes. The first time I purchased the game (prior to v1.0), it crashed so often that I refunded it on Steam. I recently bought it again after the release of version 1.01. While things have improved a bit, the game still crashes mid-session.


To reduce load, I set almost all graphics settings to low, except:


  • Circuit Detail: Ultra
  • Texture Detail: Ultra
  • Texture Filter: X16 Anisotropic

Even with these settings, the game crashes randomly.
In practice mode, when I’m alone on track, FPS reaches 300 but fluctuates heavily down to around 200. Because of this, I capped the FPS at 120 – but even then, the game still crashes and closes suddenly.


My GPU usage stays around 90–100%, while my CPU rarely goes above 30%.
The game keeps closing out of nowhere with a Bugsplat crash.


Can anyone help?


My Setup:


  • CPU: Intel i9-13900K
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070
  • RAM: 32GB DDR5
  • Cooling: Corsair H150i LCD
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX
  • Monitors: 3 total (2x ASUS TUF Gaming 27", 1x Blizzard 27")
  • Primary SSD: Kingston SNV3S1000G 1TB
  • OS: Windows 11

Can you reproduce reliably? If so, how? of this year's files (dmp). No, it happens randomly. Every time the game crashes, I fill out the dialogue box and send it.

Since March 9, I have informed you about this problem that is still not resolved. I even made a video to show you the problem https://community.lemansultimate.com/index.php?threads/game-freeze-or-ctd-megathread-feb-2025-update.6375/post-41238

Game Build No. : Happening since v1.0, every build has got worse.
Windows Version: Win10 LTSC 22H2
PC Spec (CPU, GPU, RAM):
Intel 13600k, 32GB Ram, RTX4080, Quest 3s
Game FREEZE or CTD?:
Freeze
When did it happen? / What were you doing when it happened?:

After practice session ends, goes to black screen.
Was fine prior to v1.0 no issues, After v1.0 screen would freeze but menus not selectable, now just blacks screen and have to end task.
Have tried disabling plugins in JSON file, new Win10 install, multiple LMU installs all for this one sim.
Can you reliably reproduce? If so how?
: Go into an online practice session and wait for timer to end. I don't register anymore due to ratings loss but it still happens at the end of practice.
I have all the sims, only LMU is this problematic, rFactor2 is significantly better for online using a similar system.

Game FREEZE or CTD?: Freeze/massive hitching
When did it happen? / What were you doing when it happened?:
Single player at turn 12 of COTA. Full 2025 grid, driving the Mustang. This was as the Hypercars were coming through the GT3 field. Not every lap, but always at T12. Could be related to Hypercar AI dealing with traffic?
Can you reliably reproduce? If so how?:
Hit adn miss, but as above, often happens when AI are lapping the field, turn 12 at COTA. 1 lap was a slight freeze, the next was a massive freeze for about a second or two, thought the game was going to crash but it recovered.

Windows Version: 11 24H2, build 26100.6584
PC Spec (CPU, GPU, RAM): 9800X3D, 5070 Ti, 64 GB RAM
Game FREEZE or CTD?: Game Freeze
When did it happen? / What were you doing when it happened?: The game suddenly freezes during a practice session for ELMS Sprint Cup on Imola. The session timer said there were about 30 seconds still on the clock. But many people were already leaving the session. Whilst racing on track, the game froze. The FFB was still on and my steering wheel wanted to continue to turn to the bump stop.
Can you reliably reproduce? If so how?: Probably not, but could try when a practice session is about to end and potentially people leaving.
Attach trace & dump file (if applicable): Unfortunately, I cannot find the lmu_retailsbid.dmp, my apologies. Maybe because I close the game before I did that?

I had a ping of 45ms.
In Lusail, I raced regularly and had a ping of 105 in grid.
Can you reliably reproduce? If so how?: It happened at Le Mans (twice today)

I'm getting so many crashes over Christmas. Had a very similar experience to Toikka above at Le Mans, Monza just flat out won't load for me and will crash at 20/21% load. Sent all the error reports that come up with the bugsplat report but posting here too and will send a support ticket tomorrow. Have tried with anti cheat disabled and with plug ins disabled to no avail.
