So in the past week I've been having this issue with FH5 and the hot wheels expansion. It's occurred at the start of one race and at the start of the same drift zone (of which I've tested multiple times). As soon as I drive into the S2 drift zone on the left side of the map on the hot wheels expansion, my game crashes and I have to restart it. Weird thing is, I can't recall FH5 crashing for me beforehand in the main map or on the rally adventure. This problem occurred on Ultra settings and high settings using 4K with TAA and V-Sync at 120hz with a HDMI 2.1 cable on a TV. My driver is the latest for the 7800 XT, 25.11.1, and here is my system https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/KwVwrH Anybody know what's going on? I thought about doing a DDU and tried it but when restarting and trying to go into the correct page my mouse and keyboard wouldn't work upon restarting This problem may be due to me installing windows on my new 2tb NVME SSD and using an edited XML file from schneegans.de (as i saw a lot of videos saying it worked great for better windows and better setup and I agree, it worked a lot better for startup) but if it restricts me from performing a DDU and stopping me from playing FH5 then I'll happily reinstall windows. I have reported the bug multiple times to AMD, maybe it'll get fixed in the next update (though I doubt it's a driver issue, hence I am a bit skeptical on doing a reinstall of windows considering how much better this edited version with the XML file is compared to my previous install) Hope someone can help me. Thanks! EDIT: (extra info) I checked the 25.11.1 notes from videocardz.com (this link: https://videocardz.com/driver/amd-radeon...in-25-11-1 ) and this stood out to me, directly from AMD. As well as, strangely, however probably a much looser tie Now, this is for a different game, but might still relate to the drifting aspect of things since I hadn't really tried any drift zones in the rally adventure or main map of FH5 but mostly on the hot wheels expansion as I want to 100% it, but it always crashed on the drift zone in the past week. And for some reason at the start of a race (only happened once though) Edited November 24, 2025 by filpo
