First I'll start by saying "CTD" stands for "Crash To Desktop" if you didn't know. Now on to what I wanted to talk about and that is the overwhelming amount of CTD's I've been getting as of late and so have other people. I know what you're about to say and I have already used the repairtool, 3 times but only for it to make things even worse because now not only do I get CTD's the game will also freeze up on me while loading a MM map sometimes and I'll be unable to rejoin. I've been hearing other peoples trouble with this issue but it seems it never gets/got solved, any tips?



PS: it isn't my hardware, everything up to date and my temps are normal even after hours of gameplay.

Build: CPU i5-4670k MoBo ASUS Hero Maximus6 GPU GTX760SC 8Gig RAM. Get 60fps in most game on ulta.

Patch Feedback might have been a better place to post. But you might get more views and comments here...

I've been seen a LOT of people crashing during map loading. 1-3 disconnects at the beginning of each game I play, and they subsequently rejoin. I also have been crashing a lot more recently when I Alt+Tab. More specifically, when I Alt+Tab into the game while the map is loading. I'm running full screen, but I've heard it's not an issue with windowed. Haven't tried windowed myself yet.

Is Alt+Tab or fullscreen a factor in your crashes, do you reckon?

[Nothing Whatsoever]

Do you frequently use Heat Vision?


It's possible that there's an issue there, that can cause problems. I seem to get crashes when I'm frequently using the vision modes.

[GrimRiver]

Thats why I posted here to get more veiws and let the issue be known because it's really annoying when I CTD every 1 out of 4 matchs. But I'll try windowed mode and see if that helps any, but if not then I'll do a reinstall. I won't lose anything if I reinstall right?

I use the thermo vision a good bit, is there a bug that might cause a CTD if I use it?

What's still unclear to me are the specific factors. Alt + Tab doesn't seem to be the main cause for me, and I need to see what mode I use.

Where there might be a combination of other factors causing this, like a memory leak(s) connected to getting overheat shutdown then reactivating vision modes and/or simply from activating / deactivating vision modes frequently in matches. I also tend to see crashes more often when my ping goes up and down radically and getting unexpected shutdown since I lose track of where my heat was due latency and I guess HSR.

Very rarely, have I seen a crash during a match, but I can get crashes on starting a new match as it's loading, after having a series of matches of at least activating and reactivating vision modes.


Hope that's making some sense, since I haven't looked at this more closely yet, to isolate some of the potential variables due to how infrequent this can be for me.

Definitely seeing an upswing in crashes since the 19th patch, no pattern, some at match start, others mid-game, even had a crash while editing a Mech in Mech Lab

It's either your hardware, your drivers, or how you are running MWO (32/64 bit, DX9/DX11). I've been playing this game since early open beta and have had very few CTDs, and I'm running a far less robust system than you are.

[Ardaz]

Been playing since beta with no problems, started getting CTD's with the most recent patch.

It's a software issue.

[CheeseyPeas]

I was having this problem whenever I had voip switched on. I changed all the voip settings from deault on a whim and have not had a CTD since.

Me too but hot fix seems to have sorted it.

There are so many combinations of PC hardware, so many chances for different issues.

Newer hardware can actually be worse, especially if developers own test PC's are becoming dated so not picking up all the issues.
Nothing to do with failures or corruptions, things like race conditions will be more pronounced on faster many core CPU's and the good GPU's are pushing out new drivers monthly which can introduce new issues.
Nvidia released the day before the MWO patch which likely is contributing to the issues, PGI wouldn't have tested on the new driver at all.

Console is so much simpler to develop on. PC is a nightmare.

Thanks for the answers guys/girls and from what I've gathered from google to the forums is that it could be anything, from the type of hardware combo we have to a simple bug. At this point the game has almost the same amount of trouble as skyrim, the only other game that acts up for me and that game is bugged from the start, but I still love it even with all it's flaws. And it might be the drivers because around the time that big update for MWO happened a driver for my 760 came out, so im gonna try a rollback on the driver too.
