Game crashes

Hello everyone,
Whenever I'm playing the game randomly crashes, sometimes it takes an hour and sometimes 5 minutes. Most of the time I'm shooting a gun but it can happen while checking the bank or the shops. There is no error message, the game just vanishes and I'm sent to windows.
I've read all the posts I've found about this issue, I've read an applied all the possible solutions found in the forums, including those listed in the FAQ post . Right now I'm playing win 11 with DEP deactivated and exceptions added to Windows Defender, last log in Event Viewer read like this:

Exception code: 0x0000409
Fault offset: 0x000971e0
d3d9.dll

As a curiosity when I started playing a couple of weeks ago it seldom happened, but now the game is unplayable, I'm extremely lucky if I get to finish a TTF run in hard mode.
Any help will would be very welcomed, thanks
 
The game originally supported only Direct3D 8. The other renderers were added later. Because you're crashing in d3d9.dll (assuming this is the fault module for all of your crashes), you should try Direct3D 8 with the other graphical settings left at default. No shaders, no antialiasing, no anisotropic filtering.

However, if the crash is usually when shooting a gun, that is typically a DEP crash. Maybe you're having crashing issues with both? What do the other error events in Event Viewer say for the crash info?
 
DEP is disabled (at least that's what I'm presuming), I've been trying other Direct (not direct 8) and all crashed. My last try was with vulkan and that's the log:

Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00000000
unknown

That one is from this morning, I think DEP was still on (not sure though)

Exception code: 0xc00001a5
Fault offset: 0x004d39da
psobb.exe

During last crash I wasn't shooting for sure, I was on my way to the first zone with mobs in forest 1, I didn't even see the mobs.

One last example:

Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x009d20f9
ephinea.dll


I will check direct3d 8 with everything else default and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your help and time
 
It crashed again (no fighting involved) log was:

0xc000001d
0x000b95ec
d3d8.dll

But this time windows gave me a second log explaining the first one:

Windows no puede tener acceso al archivo por alguna de las siguientes razones: Hay un problema con la conexión de red, con el disco donde se almacena este archivo o con los controladores de almacenamiento instalados en este equipo; o bien no se encuentra el disco. Windows cerró el programa psobb.exe por este error.
Programa: psobb.exe

It basically says that windows couldnt acces the file because of a network connection problem or a problem with the disk where the file is stored so windows closed psobb.exe.

Yeah, Vulkan doesn't work for some people.

This is definitely a DEP crash.

I'm not sure what this one is. I think it's a crash from one of the Direct3D shims when you're playing on anything other than D3D8. However, I really don't understand why this would crash.

Just curious, do you see anything inside the log/dllerror.log file?

A 0xc000001d exception in d3d8 with default settings (assuming you disabled shaders, AA, AF), makes me think something is up with your machine. That exception code means illegal instruction. The game shouldn't really do this though. Do you have something else running on your system that might be injecting itself into the game? Maybe dgVoodoo in its own install? I'm not sure, but this last one is definitely abnormal.
 
In fact I downloaded dgVoodoo2_86 cause in a youtube video they copied some of the files in the 86x folders and pasted them into the game folder to avoid some old game errors in new computers. Nothing was installed though, just unzipped, copied and pasted.

Anyway I did a fresh install in untit D: with no voodoo files, all default settings (1024x768, no AA, AF disabled and shaders disabled) and the game crashed again (only thing I changed was windowed mode into virtual fullscreen).

So I guess you are right and something is wrong with my computer (intel core i9 14900 KF has been a pain in the ass since day 1) .

Thank you very much for your help, I guess I'll borrow my wife pc.
