The online racing simulator
Black screen + "Recovered from D3D device error"
Hi,

Started encountering a weird problem today.

When I try to go on track, I get a black screen with some error messages in the chat, which keep repeating every 3-5 seconds. Meanwhile, the large text on the screen cycles between "Regenerating" / "Finalizing" indefinitely.

Closing LFS and re-starting it again fixes this (most of the time).

Bump? Shy It's still happens sometimes in 0.7A.
Weird, especially that restarting LFS fixes it temporarily. Could you please share your PC specs, including the graphics driver version?
Im running into same error. geforce 540m what could i do about it. Ive literally tried everything. Other games seems to be working.

Why don't you update the game to 0.7B or 0.7B3?
