Came home and played for 2 hours no crashes....ate dinner back to playing crashed to desktop 4 times got in 1 game. Rebooted PC, 10 crashes then quit trying.

Woke up this morning...4 crashes then tried the trial mechs. No crashes for 3 games in a row, (had to goto work then).

I love this game, but I want to play, and I want to play my mechs....this has done havok with my stats (not a huge concern, but still). About 50% of the time there is a CTD if you get killed it counts against you. I had friednds on mumble saying my mech was destroyed and my name came up as killed.

Please let me play this fantastic game....please!

S!


Ironically I have had less CTD's after going Windows 8 Pro..yes yes I know the portable crap and all that, but it works :) Keep sending those crash dump files to support and they will pass them on to devs, been doing so for a while now and got nice response from them too. So worth a try.

I have found I crash way more when grouped than solo. Sample of just one night. I played an hour straight solo with no crashes, joined a group and crashed 2x in a row. Dropped group and continued to play solo with no crashes.

All the crashes I had were in a group and not in a group...the only time I did not crash was in a trial mech.

This post is brought to you by a CTD, while i watch my wife (who is in my group) get swarmed by a Jenner army.

Edit: Our team lost. My K2 sitting at our base was stripped and killed.
I made 60k more (after R&R) than my wife who did better than half the winning team ;)

That is an interesting tidbit. I wonder if CTD might be related to a certain loadout or configuration on mechs? Not caused, mind you, but related.

Not that I can tell. Since the last patch, I have been crashing a LOT. Being an engineer and a scientist (yup, I'm a heretical abomination... like a day-walker that gets beat up and picked on a lot more and no super-powers), I started tracking the crashes.

Didn't matter which mech I was in. Didn't matter if it was Trial or Owned. Grouped or Un-grouped. Or any particular map.

I simply crash while loading into a match roughly 1/3rd of the time over about a three hour period.

This did not occur prior to this week's patch. Other than that, I can find no correlation or causality.

Conclusion: CTDs are caused by indigestion.

And yeah, I'm still paranoid that PGI will see an epic string of soon-as-the-game-starts "disconnects" due to me getting CTDs, assume I'm a farmer, and permban me and my sweet, sweet founder's account.

When in reality I'm just obsessive compulsive and damn it, I want to play in a mech NOW! And i WILL, NO MATTER HOW MANY TRIES IT TAKES! DAMN YOU COMPUTER *shakes fist*.

*ahem*....

I would suggest first sending in your crashdump to support@mwomercs.com and also checking out your log files, they may offer some sort of insight into the problem.

I've only had one CTD so far. My frame rates are lower than usual though so I've been missing quite a few shots.

I thought that as well, but the only thing the mechs have in common is they all have (at least) 2 Med lasers.

Start turning down graphics settings. I had to do so again this patch. Increases the number of games I can play without incident to 5 or 6! Woohoo!

Also, cause this game is SO reliant on server side calcs etc connection speed and stability can have a big impact on crash rate.
