CLOSE YOUR GAMEBAR

[Crichten]

Easy bit of advice I recently 'acquired'.....

Don't use Windows Game bar, you have to actually go into - Settings - Gaming and then make sure this tab is selected to off.

Even if you don't actively use it there seems to be an issue where it bugs something out to all hell.

Lol I don't think it's actually used by anyone, but it is there in the background just making your RAM'S and CPU'S drunk.

IIRC, someone did report a bug with Gamebar and Star Citizen, here in the forum just a couple months ago.

Yeah, something it does kills the stability of the game, where the actual game mode is active or not.

Gamebar causes issues with a few things - last windows update turned it on on my crappy old laptop that I mostly use for work stuff but also play hearthstone and poe and a few other things on. Hearthstone was crashing every 1.5 - 2 minutes until I found all the settings and turned it off.

Really wish Microsoft would stop turning things on when updates run, stupid compatibility telementary was turned back on as well, real tired of turning that off.

Stupid Windows at it again. I really wish someone somewhere would kill it with fire and then poo on it.

No kidding. It's one of the first things i turned off after upgrading my OS.

Well, it was worth a try. Better to do something and have nothing happen than not try and continue to suffer unnecessarily.

Early on in 3.1 I couldn't get into my Aurora without the game crashing. Turning off this game bar thing solved that issue! And probably a few more crashes as well.
While it may seem unrelated, it does bug the game, as it was stated in an official post on Spectrum.

Thanks for the info. It's turned off now. Windows always snooping where they don't belong.
