    it kept on crashing for me, so i got pissed off, went into system32 folder and remove nvwgf2umx.dll. the nvwgf2um.dll has crashed problem stopped.although i still do have other issues like dxd11.dl (or something), but these are way less common that nvwgf2um problem. when you take it out, just cut and paste to desktop or something, so if you still need it, its still there, but doesnt seem to effect performance. also before starting to game, exit nvidia toobar

    Edit: so the crashing started again, this time i found that i didnt actually have nvwfg2um.dll in my win32 folder, what i had was nvwgf2umx.dll, so i downloaded a copy of nvwgf2um.dll, and so far, after almost an hour of tank shooting and helicopter flying, the game hasnt crashed yet

    dont think that helps, lots of people have tried it. i reinstalled the OS a few weeks back because of some partition trouble, crashed before, crashed after, now the crash is gone (for now)

    I dont get it. None of those files where missing for me and deleting either one of them at a time doesnt help either. deleting both also doesnt help. how did you figure out those 2 files where the issue for you?
