€dit1: looks like my GPU driver crashs on resolutions above 1920x1080
€dit2: without mods its not crashing anymore - hmm

You can try as workaround solution 2 from here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9300

Thanks for the report. It looks like one of your monitors is 144 hz and one is 60 hz. Can you try running the game with just 1 of the monitors connected at a time?

Not that that's a solution. I just want to try some troubleshooting to see what might be causing it.

okkkk,

so i just renamed the Mods folder so the Game is Vanilla. Playing 4k works.
renamed the mods folder so all my mods where in again. Can now play 4k with the same Mods.

idk but it fixed itself.

€dit1: NVVVMMM just crashed again
€dit2: Crashing without mods too
€dit3: "--force-opengl" is working

I consider --force-opengl reasonable workaround. Really don't know what to do when IDirect3Ddevice9::Reset() starts to err wit D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE.

Hopefully, migration to DX11 in 0.17 will fix this problem entirely.
