Re: CTDs REALLY pissing me off

CTD, CRASH TO DESKTOP. When you go to hit the join button on the server and it crashes to desktop, very annoying.

That used to happen to me all the damn time untill I stop leaving my PC on all day and nite.

Re: CTDs REALLY pissing me off

Ah...I overclocked my CPU to 2.32 and my card to 340 and 584
I idle at 41. Is that a little high?

I presume you mean system temperature? Not CPU or GPU temps. I can't see any problems with that temperature.

load temp is more important than idle temp.
your gfx is likely ok as you would see artifacts or the pc would hard lock (freeze with looping sound) in 3d.
but..... your cpu.. 2.32ghz from 1.8ghz, did you give it alittle vcore boost? like 0.025 or 0.050 more?
and you do know that overclocking the cpu also overclocks the ram?, your at >255fsb, did you change the ram divider so it stays at the default speed?
did you change the htt multiplier to 4x/800 ?

if you have no idea what im on about, then i suggest you undo all overclocking and read up about it before trying it again. as doing it wrong will cause CTD, corrupt files, hard locking e.t.c e.t.c

My CPU is stock speed at 2.1ghz and we're running the same processor.

Well I lowered my CPU down to 2.25 and did the stuff with the RAM. Also set up one more fan in my comp. I think it should be ok now.

oh, i was thinking he had an A64. some of what i said still applies anyway.

if u have an athlonXP, running the ram on a divider is BAD! (its very slow!!)
xp's were mostly unlocked tho so change the multiplier and leave the fsb at 200, then the ram can stay at 200 as well.

Re: CTDs REALLY pissing me off

Overclocking will not affect CTDs as they are completely software related. If you are artifacting, you will surely know it. You may just be getting unlucky. Try reinstalling, every install brings something different.

If you don't want to, delete everything:

dmp
cache
logocache
Prefetch

And then defrag your hard drive. Don't know what else to do.

He said overclocking and never mentioned unstable hardware, mate. Sir. SuperTyphoon is right, and I would try his suggestions if you're having CTDs. I think this is just another patch screw up because I've tried everything and still get them randomly, sometimes twice in a row. The "connection loss" bug is much more annoying though.

overclocking makes hardware unstable, hence the need for changing htt multi's, vcore, ram dividers/timings, vdimm e.t.c to make it stable again.

Re: CTDs REALLY pissing me off

It's easy: try another game. If it works ok, then it's not a hardware problem.

Re: CTDs REALLY pissing me off

Alright I fixed it. I already did all the things Sir Supertyphoon said before this thread. Then I put my CPU back down to 2.25 and added a fan. Perfectly ok now. Have played like 5 rounds straight (very satisfying ones too, was pilot for Churrasco and he went 42 for 1 as my gunner on Wake) and havent CTDed at all. Its awesome.

Welcome back, get ready to be addicted again :p

Re: CTDs REALLY pissing me off

I am getting one every thirty minutes. Not at join game, but while I am playing. Completely randomly. Its so ****ing annoying. I have CTDed like 5 times already and I started playing an hour ago. ****ing ridiculous.

Yep same with me. Why are E&A messing around with beta testing just release the patch and stop farting about. I beta tested the first download reported back on the official site and now they do a second beta. I am considering giving the game the boot and not going back and play something else which has less faults. Also sick of idiots who tk for jets, choppers, kill the commander yes that a good idea and loose the game, bitc&ing on, not forgiving a person for accidental kill, you can't vote a person off a server, when you join a team they boot you out and other nasty things. And crashing out, not getting log onto a server, supid admins who never on, rules breakers, cheats and hacks and this really gets my back up.

I mean if you bought something from a shop that did not work you get your money back or offer another item. Not Dice you get sod all back just more testing and more hassle from online gamers who think it there right to give you hell. Is the game worth it?

Does your game flash black at all before the crash? Might be your video card overheating.
