S!

The game has begun to crash for me as well after a few matches, 3-5 or so. Really annoying when coupled with the HUD anomalies and other bugs. Does not really encourage to play anymore. I've been sending the crash dump files to support though. Using the RepairTool did not help as it does not find any errors in the files either.

Piranha must not want my money becuase, with this ongoing soft lock and CTD issue, they're doing a ****-poor job of promoting this game to me and inspiring me to open my wallet. I enjoy playing MWO - when I can play it - but it's literally crashing every round now and I cba'd to contine putting up with it when there are so many other entertainment options available to me.

You must not have read this.

I was speaking to a player who is part of the group of tech savvy players working with PGI on bug issues ( very hush hush clandestine group from what I've been told).

He said the reason bugs take so long to fix is the pitiful ammount of actual feedback the devs get about the bugs.

Hey WTF! My system keeps crashing all the time, fix it noobs! - is not feed back

Feedback (at a bare minimum is):

email support@mwomercs.com

Subject: Crash to desktop or Crash to Mechlab, or Game Freeze or Game Freeze (Reboot)
Attach the following files:
DXdiag.txt (from DxDiag save all information button)
Omicron.log and OmicronOnline.log from //Pirana games/ Mechwarrior Online folder
crashdump.dmp from //Pirana games/ Mechwarrior Online/USER folder

Do this before restarting the client, or the files get overwritten.
I do this EVERYTIME I crash now, in the hopes that the techinical info will help. They always say thanks for sending it. Looking at it another way, If the support crew get innundated with these emails, PGI will fix the problem to get us off their backs. The squeaky wheel gets the oil, so they say. Can you imagine if PGI got this email every time a players client crashed?

My two cents

I dont crash but it seem that i get disconnect from the match....like i stay in the match but everyone seem like freeze in time....cant do ****. Had try 6 match....and all were like this today.

So sorry to all my teamates if i did seem like an afk....but coudnt do anything....so see ya all one day.

I've tried nearly all of these workarounds. Haven't tried today's patch yet, but I'm starting to wonder if I should even bother. I activated my premium time at the end of January (when the game was actually working), then the Feb 5 patch hit, and BAM, random crashing, almost every game. I submitted my DXDIAG and etc., and waited.

3 months pass, and with each passing patch, I try to play and BAM, random crashing.

So much for premium time. Heartened to see that it isn't my PC dying that's doing this. Disheartened to see that PGI is content to let Premium time trickle on accounts where the game is clearly broken.

Related to game crashes during a game or while dropping into one. When I first downloaded this game. I had no issues. Playing day after day, I started to notice more and more glitches.. such as the rainbow map, crashing to desktop while in game or while dropping, compass freezing, map freezing, No IFF, Etc...

Solution - Deleted the C9D9 Shader Catch files in the game folder.

The bugs go away, and when I notice them starting to act up again (usually a week or two). I delete this folder again until I start having similar problems.

Hope this helps.

I've been playing on and off since January, I recently took a break for about a week and when I came back I started Crashing to the home screen (or mechlab, pilot lab, whatever). My fps tends to range from 30-something to 50-something.

[Fantastic Ergo]

One of the pilots in my unit had Crash to mechlab 12 of 14 drops. I Tweaked his connection like this http://mwomercs.com/...onnects-no-vpn/ and then he was able to play 5 straight games and then had 1 crash to mechlab which was an big improvement. After that, He had a router that connected to his modem/router for cable. We took the router off and left the modem/router and he has no crash to mechlab again. Hope that helps some of you.
