It crashes even on windowed mode, so that's not a solution. Maybe it's a network hack by another player? Maybe another player is sending junk packets to force players to drop from the game?

I should clarify when it's crashing for me the game just locks up most the time. Only a few times have I gotten a CTD.

Game Freezes every 1-5 games. Problem started in early Feb. Since last patch when game Freezes the Task Manager says MWO is Running, but it is not. Just a Black Screen and no sound when I return from the Task Manager. I have installed the latest drivers from Realtek and Nvidia as of today. Nvidia v314.14 Beta seems a bit more stable than 314.07 Release, but still Freezes.

The game has a serious memory leak problem.
You keep adding content and the game already can't handle, the content that is in it.
Once it reaches over 1 gb memory useage, it starts choking it's self and will not stop until you crash.

The engine likely needs to be revised, the code needs to be optimized, dx 11 needs to be implemented....Something needs to happen.
Crashing and freezing in games, once every hour or so, is getting old.

Also I am having texture loading problems.
textures just don't load sometimes.

There are no errors or messages.
The game just freezes and I have to kill the process.

Thank you.

Nvidia Surround causes crash

No error message received. My system just reboots. I have went into the system tab and unchecked the box that tells the system to automatically reboot on BSOD yet it still reboots. It is not an overheating issue. I can run FurMark at super high resolutions and never get a crash. At the bottom of this post you will see FurMark results for 5760x1080 resolution.

This crash can occur anytime the game is open, whether at the windowed mechbay screen or in game fullscreen. There is no specific action I have found that causes it.

This crash only occurs when Nvidia Surround is turned on. If I change nothing in game but change the SLI configuration to "Activate all displays" instead of "Surround", the game will be stable and I have no issues

I have tested on 5 other games including Crysis 2. All games work fine except for Crysis 2 which crashes to desktop with an application error of:

Faulting application name: Crysis2.exe, version: 1.9.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Faulting module name: nvd3dum.dll, version: 9.18.13.1407, time stamp: 0x5116d83e

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\nvd3dum.dll
Report Id: 6ec1c7a6-883b-11e2-80ba-60a44c60a499

Other games I tried in 5760x1080 which all had no issues:
Battlefield 3
Civilization V
Planetside2
Call of Duty Black Ops 2

In MWO I have been running at all low settings and averaging about 50 fps. In Crysis 2 I could run at Ultra setting and average about 35 FPS. In BF3 I can run Ultra settings and get about 70 fps. MWO is pretty much un-playable at Ultra settings with Surround on, frame rate is around 10-12.

Hello good sirs.. I'm getting "Fread did not read expected number of byte from file only 128 of 0 bytes read" on random occasions. First since the patch this Tuesday i got after i logged in. Then i re-installed the game and that problem was solved. Then i keep getting the Fread after i play 1 or 2 games. After that i can´t play at all because of the Fread - cry engine bugg.

This is the main bugg i have had since i started playing 3 month ago.

After each patch i replaced the "objects.pak" file that some folks in this forum recommended and that worked, sort of. After this latest patch the curse of the Fread is stalking me.

Was any error message provided with the crash, if so, which? No, crash to desktop
Where in the game or menus did the crash occur? When starting a match the game locks up, then I have to use task manager to shut down the program. Game appears to lockup when the Free Physical Memory reaches 0.
What steps had been taken prior to the crash occurring? Close all other applications. Start the game. Start a match.
Does the crash re-occur for you if repeating those same steps? Yes. I'm toning the settings down to find a level where the game doesn't lock up. The game will also lockup and crash during a match if the system memory reaches 0.
What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch? 1360x768 Medium Specs. Yes, I changed the video card on my system since I thought the problem was my original card. Old card was a EVGA Geforce 8800 GT 512MB. New card is a MSI Radeon HD 7770 1GB.
What are your System specs?

I was asked by support to try testing in the Training grounds after reporting these crashes. An hour or so of testing in the training grounds has produced no crashes, but I still cannot get through an online match without the fast and silent crash to mechlab at some point in the match.

Anyone else experiencing the crash just online?


I had this exact issue and solved it tonight. I was crashing every match at random times to mechlab tonight, which is what usually causes me to stop playing for the night. However, I changed the settings from full window to fullscreen mode. I've been playing for at least 3 hours straight in 4 different mechs without crashing to mechlab.

I've always played fullscreen and am having this problem. Strange.

The game is at the worst stability since October 2012. Crash every time in every situation, this patch were 20steps back :(

First: Screen freezes

I seem to experiencing more CTDs after this past patch than any time before. It seems to happen near the beginning of the match to me. Today it crashed twice in a row -- both times it had just finished the startup sequence and I was looking around when suddenly the entire program closed. No error messages, no nothing. Some times it happens in the middle of a match, too, but it seems to happen more commonly during the start.

One thing I noticed is that usually this CTD happens as I'm looking around very rapidly (panning left to right and back). I've noticed what appears to be a bit of a video lag/stutter as I'm panning, and this happens right before the whole thing bails out. This same stutter occurs when I first enter a match and look around. I figure it's trying to load additional textures or objects or whatever. It doesn't always result in a crash, but IIRC, each CTD so far has exhibited this behavior before shutting down.

I'm not sure if the log has anything useful. Here is the bottom portion of the map load log (River City Night) of my most recent CTD:

============================ PrepareLevel rivercity_night ============================
Initializing default materials...
[Error] Runaway thread
[Error] [UIAction] HUD (0): UIElement does not have object _root.mcMain.mcCurrentLayout.mcSpecHud.SetName
======== rivercity_night is loaded in 26.6 sec ========

The UIElement error seems to come up a lot (I looked in some other logs of games that didn't crash), but the Runaway thread seems different, for the games that I did crash in.

About Freezing: enabling vsync allowed me to play 6 or 7 games without crashing. Will see if this holds up. Can someone having this issue try enabling vsync?

*update* never mind just froze again. This time a different kind, the game quit after 7 seconds. Usually it remains frozen a while.

Many crashes since last patch. Mostly on Alpine and River City (in fact I've only finished one Alpine match without crashing so far). Can happen at any time, fighting, lurking, running away. Getting a quick error message that I haven't been able to copy because it vanishes too fast, but it says 'memory allocation for (something) bytes failed' or something very similar.

Stability is about as bad as it has ever been.

I've CTD'd at least five times today.

Lol, make that at least 6 times. Jesus Christ.

"Was any error message provided with the crash, if so, which?"
Randomly freezing during gameplay. Can do 10+ matches in a row without problems, sometimes first match after client is launched.


"Where in the game or menus did the crash occur?"
Hangup happens during gameplay

"What steps had been taken prior to the crash occurring?"
Visited Mechbay to swap layout a bit, launched match, hang-up during the first 10 seconds.


"Does the crash re-occur for you if repeating those same steps?"
Happens randomly.

"What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch?"
1920x1680, motion blur off, advanced settins on high, AA set on PostAA.


"What are your System specs?"

Spoiler
