Bug description
NvRemixBridge.exe crashes with Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) every launch during the game's second D3D9
device creation. The crash is 100% reproducible.
GTA IV creates two D3D9 devices during initialization:
- A thread-safe device (~3s after launch) — succeeds
- A NON thread-safe DeviceEx (~17s later) — succeeds, then module destruction crashes the bridge server
bridge64.log always shows this sequence:
Server side D3D9 Device created successfully!
Server side D3D9 DeviceEx created successfully!
D3D9 Module destroyed.
Exception 0xc0000005 at !
bridge32.log shows the client-side trigger:
Creating a NON thread-safe D3D9 device.
[WndProc][set] Calling WndProc::set(...) without an intermediate unset(). Calling implicitly...
A null pFullscreenDisplayMode was passed to IDirect3D9Ex::CreateDeviceEx().

Same crash |
| Disabled FusionFix (renamed .asi) | Same crash |
| Removed extra mods (WarcacoRTX, autopbr) — base gta4rtx only | Same crash |
Set threadSafetyPolicy = 1 in bridge.conf |
Crash at different offset, still crashes |
Added -width/-height to commandline.txt |
Same crash |
Set manual_game_resolution = [1920, 1080] |
Same crash |
| Updated driver from 591.74 → 595.79 | Same crash (offset shifted slightly) |
Used _LaunchWithProcessorAffinity_Half_GTA4__Half_Remix.bat |
Same crash |
