I have a GTX 570's in SLI, and i7 2600k CPU.

You could check my whole config on www.youtube.com/XxD3cayxX

Can someone help me stop crashing?

I keep going into games, and playing maybe 5min or 10min, then I make a fast "torso" turn or something and my game freezes and crashes!

Really f***ing frustrating considering I'm letting my team down and I think it's counting as a death......

Similar issue with the same card. This game/ engine just seems to hate the 570 series. I can't even make it through to the score screen. The game forces a reboot of my machine when it tries.

At least it's improved from when I'd get a blue-screen memory dump.

Bumping this topic because I'm having a similar issue. The game will run for about 2-5 minutes then crash to full system reboot. Sometimes the cooling fans would go into overdrive to clear "heat" but my Graphics card (the only thing getting warm), my guess is that it is because MWO is shooting my card to 80C temperature.
System Information:
RAM: 16GB
Graphics Card: GTX 660
Direct X Version: DX11
Resolution: 1920x1080
(Crashing is consistent through various graphics toggle from medium to high to custom)
Processor: i7-3770K @ 3.50GHz

It's happening to me all the time too 3N3RGY. Since the Feb 5th patch.

it's not the card. tried my 5870 SLI after my 7970 crashes literally 100% of the time. most of the time right as the map loads, and guaranteed to crash if the game lasts more than 3 minutes. support closed my ticket stating no known fix. nice. couldnt even leave it open and follow up later. this game is doomed.

S!

Try to limit your frame rates and use VSync. It helped me with the lockups. Put sys_MaxFPS=55 to user.cfg and enable in-game VSync and see what happens. Generally it seems that putting the limit to below 60fps cured the freezes for many.

[Victor Morson]

We are testing a working theory, but haven't gotten a chance to put it through it's paces yet.

If you could help that would be appreciated.

Try changing your Effects and Environment settings to Low, and see if the crashes persist.

At least half of my deaths in the last week have been from crashes. A patch or two ago, I could recover from a freeze by Alt-Tabbing out and back in again. But it hasn't worked lately. Doesn't freeze my machine though -- just MW:O stops responding at all.

And it's not the frame rate on my system. I run at 2560x1440 Very High settings and it hovers around 55-60 FPS most times. Enabling V-Sync and putting that line in User.cfg did nothing to stop the crashes. Stepping down to 1920x1080 gets me 115 or so FPS and it doesn't crash any more or less often.

It's getting rather frustrating...

Will try the Effects and Environment at Low.

Might actually be the other way around -- your internet disconnecting would also (obviously) cause you to disconnect from MW:O. It's unlikely that MW:O would be causing you to disconnect from the internet, unless your modem can't handle the constant traffic or something. Overheating maybe...

Edit: And setting E&E to Low didn't help. I crashed to desktop instead of having to kill the process in Task Manager. Might still be a clue, since something different happened this time.

Could be, but none of my other on line games, which are higher graph intense, cause my internet to die. Only MWO ;((

[Lokust Davion]

my game crash to desktop for every 1 or 2 matches... im not gonna bother playing it until next patch.

[Fantastic Ergo]

I have heard that limiting your FPS to 40 helps some people.
There is a post about that in the troubleshooting section.
In my unit it has helped 2 pilots, a few others just bumped their settings up to slow down their FPS,
I do think the last patch just makes most people crash often. Let's just wait for the next and hope its better.

CTD acknowledged here: http://mwomercs.com/...op-after-5-sec/

[Matt Peters]

I'm sort of glad this is a semi common issue, cuz it is happening to me as well. Thanks for the game, and thank you guys for the recomended fixes.

[JackPoint]

This is getting old very fast, every game is a CTD or a Lockup resulting in crtl-alt-del to close it, I have 78 lock up error logs for 4days of trying to play this. It's a great game but this needs fixing.

Would love to try this but my system runs this game on max settings @ 120fps 1920x1080, not sure how I could lower my fps.

Putting sys_MaxFPS = 55 in your user.cfg file (located in the main MechWarrior Online game folder) using Notepad will do it. If it's not there, simply open up Notepad and type that line in, then save it as user.cfg in the MW:O game folder.

[Jack Spade Ward]

Ok... this is getting ridiculous!!!! I play 3 or 4 matches and CRASH!!!!!!
Its so stupid, im playing normally, and then i get crashed to desktop, the game simply shuts down.
Since last patch, so many bugs came out.
Honestly, i try to be imune to this kind of stuff, but come on... so many times crashing?
No to mention other bugs like no map, no IFF, you name it.
We need an extra patch to solve this, at the very least.

[TheFlyingScotsman]

I just had a double crash to desktop. It's getting worse.

Dun-dun-dun! :3

[habu42]

THIS IS BAD!! DID FULL PARTITION FORMAT, REINSTALLED WIN 7, GAME, CLEAN SYSTEM!! STILL CRASHING LIKE CRAZY SINCE LAST PATCH!! I love the game, however?? And to TOP it off, earlier they made a comment about releasing FINAL PRODUCT THIS SPRING ( Please Release NEW PATCH PRIOR TO SCHEDULED TIME!! LOVEEEEEE Game, but LOSING PATIENCE! About to go Back to Project Blackout (((((((
