    **Update**
    I checked the windows event log and found driver crashes for nvlddmkm. This is the nvidia driver. I dialed back the GPU overclock about 10% and have been stable in RF2 ever since. I've read from other people on the internet that different games can be stable or not of their own accord. With those RF2 overclock settings, The Witcher crashes for me with the same nvlddmkm. I turned the GPU OC off completely and the witcher is stable. So this was my solution, less GPU overclock.
    --------


    Hoping someone who has dealt with this can lend some guidance. I am experience crashing of the screen in VR headset and on the mirrored IPS screen but the game is still running. I still have control of the car and can hear the audio, but all I see is the static screen on which it froze. No error messages. I'm able to force quit rfactor2 and fire it up again and begin running without issue.

    I am unable to consistently replicate the display freeze. I can run for 2hours straight and then it will crash. I haven't had a crash in offline mode. I often will run 40AI. The crashes I have had have been all online. I don't have tracking issues or jumping in the headset. I don't experience any slingshotting before the crash that I am aware of, there is no warning, it just freezes.

    Hi all,
    I got the same problem now twice. Once a few months ago, the other one yesterday. Both times during an online race. I ran about an hour without any problems, no lags (30 cars in LeMans) or anything else. After the pitstop while braking to T2 the screen froze, I could hear the car, heard tire squeal while breaking, my teammates saw me running through the gravel, but I still only had the frozen screen. After maybe 15 seconds the screen came back, me standing in the gravel and I could go on racing without any further problems! When the issue happened no other car has been around me.

    i5 4460 3,2GHz 64bit 8GB
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
    LAN by wire, stable connection
    Rfactor2 ReplayRecording off, no datarecording running

    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Alex

    Similar issue in single player mode at LeMans. When access Task Manager I saw the following, also attaching trace file. This issue happened on three different occasions. My system is current Windows and drivers.
