It's not an every now and then crash. It's not a sort of frequent crash. It's not even a random crash. It's an every game within the first three minutes crash.

I love this game, don't get me wrong, this game is awesome, so awesome in fact that i founded the max amount of money you'd let me, and still poured more into the game after because i knew it'd support the game.

For at least three months I've been able to play maybe 5 games before the client will just die on me and send me back to mechbay, which would be fine if it didn't do this for every single attempt at play past this point. Restarting my pc has mixed results, but to be frank, for a game that used to never crash for me on my barely alive laptop that now refuses to even run for more than a few games on my 2.5k pc (could be relevant that im using an nvidia gtx 680, yes i updated my drivers, no, it didn't help).

I'm pretty sure i don't need to explain how insulting it is to see patch after patch waving shiny content around that i can't make use of because the game is now so unstable it's embarrassing is. So, hopefully you'll understand that you need to put the brakes on breaking more of the game, and wind **** back a fair bit to the point where it actually ran, and then take baby steps from there.

I have tried as much as possible to actually get this to not crash so often, and I'm out of ideas, if anyone has any ideas for the crashing (random black screen during play, then mechbay or unresponsive, graphics settings make no changes to the crash rates) then i'd be really appreciative, but this is just ridiculous.

So please PGI, just make the damn this run, and then give us more toys, because believe it or not it'd be nice to actually play with them myself.

Have you been sending crash reports to support@mwomercs.com ?

[Salacious Sparrow]

When i have the patience, but frankly i usually just go do something else till the next day.

there are pretty bad issues especially with the last patch but i think your experience is unusual, i experience bugs every few games but i dunno anyone that crashes every match

If you see a topic that is Pinned in Patch Feedback related to your issue then you are suppose to instinctively know that they are aware of the problem and are collecting information related to the issue/gauging how upset the player base is. Reading the other 100 topics opened on this issue is probably not happening.

Even though I have stopped joining 4/8 man groups, I have found that if I keep trying eventually I will get a stable game.

This has got to stop and soon. It is killing MWO for a huge number of players. Usually you end up with a game Freeze within 3 minutes of gameplay/combat. It never happens on the Test Maps. I could play Testing Grounds for hours and never a crash or twitch, launch into an actual game and 2 to 5 minutes the game Freezes with looping sound.

Now the game Freezes started about the time that State Rewind was added so I think that is where the Bug lies. It seems it is always after a weapon impact or that discharge the game locks up. Usually the impact is on a player other than you and firing on rocks or into the air does not cause the game Freeze.

You get 3 minutes? You're lucky, it's a good game when I get 3 seconds. Black screen for half a second then boot to mechlab, no pause, no error, no warning, no discernible cause. I might get ONE game per night where I see the post-game screen, the rest are just ELO donations. This has been happening to me since BEFORE the Heavy Metal patch, I first noticed it becoming a consistent problem on the 25th. I've already sent in plenty of crash reports, hard reinstalled graphics drivers (as in uninstall, delete all leftover files, and wipe from registry), hard reinstalled MWO, and ran multiple hardware stability tests, but the game remains literally unplayable and my premium days (and hopes of getting into the clan I applied for) continue to tick away.

I love the game. I wouldn't be as pissed off if I didn't desperately want to play it.

There are a number of crash bugs. For me the Black Screen comes after I Alt-Tab to try to force a resumption of the match, until then it's just a Frozen game image with looping sound.

Like I say, this started on the 2/12 patch and has never changed in two months now. I think this was the State Rewind patch. At first I could minimize it by turning Particles to Lowest, but this does nothing now.

Prior to 2/12, no crashes at all, all settings on High or Highest. This since June 2012.

All current drivers, latest versions. Windows 7 64bit Pro, all current updates.

No Crash Report is created. MWO thinks it is still running the game.

[Salacious Sparrow]

I will add that before current patch, hard setting my video card to not buffer gained me a solid day of play (well, at least an hour with some friends). but it's slid back to refusing to let me play.

[Thndrblt]

I get the same problem constantly anymore, never happened before the last two patches. I could run highest settings all day. Since last two patches....random game freezes/sound looping. The only way to fix it is alt-tab, close down game. Always happens in a match for me, about every 3-4 game...its really driving me away from this game.

I want to get excited and contribute, but each new patch might fix one bug, but introduce two more. And some bugs (hit boxes & texures for example have been an issue since the game came out). Loosing players/support the longer these issues continue....
