Can you still reconnect after crashing and/or terminating the game?

Yup
I sent a support ticket
they told me to do a clean install of my video drivers (they said it seems to only really happen on machines with nvidia cards, due to a possible conflict with their new client)
then reboot system

that had no effect on the problem at all

Well, I mean, at least you can reconnect right?

Or does the reconnect have the same problem?

you can reconnect and rejoin the game (hopefully you aren't dead by then)

after being kicked from the match on Mining Collective, I've never been kicked again after rejoing that match

Yeah I told Russ about it, nothing yet.

One thing that seems to work for me, as a temp fix, is to hit Control, Alt, Delete, and start my Task manager. If I do that the moment i freeze, it saves me match, literally every time.

Weird but true.

I do that every time, but sometimes there's no saving it...if it wants to completely crash, it's gonna completely crash...

[GigaPing]

happens now everytime i play it. I can rejoin but im normally dead. I think im going to hide and power down until it crashes then rejoin when i can.

[Felhad]

This is still happening to me as well nearly every time I drop on the map.

[Sarlic]

I always Freeze and have to rejoin

Before 10/21 patch this happened to me every 3rd - 4th time in a game on this map, both solo and group games. After 10/21 patch, happens every time. Screen freeze, game still running: I can hear the sound of my mech moving & firing, but all I get is a static image. Often, it crashes to desktop before I can get the task manager up. Sometimes after the task manager loads, it allows me to return to the mwo.exe and continue the game as normal, but more often I have to end the process (if it didnt crash itself) and re-launch/re-join.

Does not happen at any other time in the game.
Intel Core i5 760, 4GB ram, nvidia GTX 460 chipset, win7 64bit

Sorry to beat the horse, but this map crashes for me every singe time within the first 20 seconds. I'm usually dead by the time I get back.. holy $#%& its annoying. I use nvidia.. but theres STILL no fix for this, wtf??????

Yay for DX11.

Used to happen to me too, on Mining, every time. Setting the game to DX11 fix it, hasn't happened since.

Definitely try this.

Glad that helped you too!

I've been trying to post that solution in every thread on the topic.

Spread the word.

[SteelKiller]

Same, about 30 seconds in. It's been happening for several patches now. As a matter of habit I just try to let the team know, then go somewhere where I won't march off into the enemy when I disco.

[SteelKiller]

Hmm, I guess I can try DX11 again. It sucks because whenever I put it in DX11, my triple monitor setup gets screwed. Plus I start getting windows alerts when MWO cranks up regarding some color profile thing (can't remember actually). Wasn't worth the annoyance.

[Scratx]

Alt-Ctrl-Del , Start Task Manager.

Doing that will likely get MWO's video rendering properly again. Just alt-tab back into the game and carry on with the match.

[ThisMachineKillsFascists]

i get alot frozen screen. Can walk can shoot can chat but screen is frozen. Its ******* awefull. I have to close the client and restart if if it already doesnt crashes to desktop.

EDIT: THe Dx11 Suggestion fixed it. So easy. Thx dude

I had a similar issue earlier today. I had been playing the map, had already died, and was spectating when i got shunted to the login screen with an unidentified error. It let me log back into the game, but then it only let me see my dead Mech.

As a side note, my Mech was in pieces...

[Vassago Rain]

Still happening to me, too. I have to reconnect every drop on this match.

Yes, all my stuff is, and always will be, and always has been, up to date. No, no other game does this. Yes, the map is broken, just like the HUD was back in the day.



Yes, PGI needs to fix it, or simply pull the map until it's fixed.
