My PC crashes randomly playing Dirt3 (Direct X 11) when ever i enable fanaleds.
When i delete hardware_setting_config and restart Dirt3 (Direct X 11) runs fine.
Any ideas?

Asus Maximus V Extreme Z77
32GB (8x4GB) @ 1600mhz
GTX 670 SC 4GB SLI

Would you mind testing without FanaLEDs and hardware settings enabled/disabled. If it does still crash on you, please make sure your DiRT is up to date. I too had a lot of crashes, but Gerben has had none.

Is it a retail or steam version (or pirated)?

In theory Fanaleds shouldn't be able to make the game crash because it only 'listens' to what the game outputs, but you never know...

Do you have an other Codemasters game you can try?

I can't confirm this bug unfortunately. The fact is, it isn't FanaLEDs causing the crashes.

If you start the game WITH hardware output enabled, but WITHOUT FanaLEDs, it still crashes. I'm sorry we can't be of any more help, but this seems to be an issue on the Codemasters side.

You should try out other Codemasters titles, you'll notice that they don't crash with FanaLEDs enabled. All of the Codemasters games share the exact same code, so if one game crashes, all should crash.

Also note, FanaLEDs only reads data from the game, it doesn't write.

Sorry I can't be more helpfull :(

Dirt 3 Retail Version.
Fanaleds work perfectly until i cross the finish lane.
Right before entering the finish lane game crashes every time.

And you have tried this with Fanaleds not running, but leaving the telemetry information on?

Thanks in advance for testing.

Try all kinds of circumstances; telemetry output on with Fanaleds on and off, telemetry output off with Fanaleds on and off. I'm really interested if it makes a difference.

I'm fairly confident to say the Codemasters games aren't known for their stability and I fear it's something that's just too unique for us to reproduce, like Dirk pointed out before.

Random crashes when plug-in is active due to network socket errors. See attached screenshot.
