War Thunder keeps crashing after an update. What should I check first?
Closed thread Closed by archiveThe game was running fine before the latest update, but now it closes randomly.
Sometimes I get through a battle, sometimes it crashes before I reach the hangar. I haven't changed my hardware.
Before I start reinstalling everything, what should I check first?
Start with fixing common War Thunder crashes, recommended graphics troubleshooting, and reporting a technical problem.

Update your graphics driver if you're running an outdated version, but don't assume the driver is automatically the problem.
Check whether it crashes at a particular point. Startup, loading into battle, and random mid-match crashes might have different causes.
What GPU and Windows version are you using? Also, does the game show an error or just disappear?
I'd avoid downloading unofficial DLL files from random websites to "fix" it.
Agreed. If the basic checks don't help, gather the crash details and report the issue through official support. A clean description is more useful than twenty random fixes.
