just wondering if anyone else is having some issues after a match right before it gets to your mechlab screen it crashes?

Anyone else having this problem?

Has anything changed on your machine recently? Driver or software updates, or anything like that? Just a shot in the dark. Only other simple explanation I can think of is that it could be extra traffic due to the holiday weekend and the event straining PGI's server.

If you have an AMD video card and you just updated to the new Crimson drivers, revert back to the previous official release. Those drives are unstable and filled with artefacts.

I'm having similar issues. I've been CTD quite regularly. I figured I'll read through the bugs section and see if I can find something sometime tonight

PS I use Geforce card if that helps any

Are you guys Alt+Tabbing? I know they said they fixed that, but I don't actually buy it considering hat the MechBay screen Still breaks your 'Mech icons and they said they fixed that, too. I switched the game to Full Window (also called Borderless) instead of Full Screen and haven't had any issues since.

That would explain why every dynamic part of the ui flashes, like conquest point, they flash both blue and red and i never know whos capping/decap what. I ran the repair twice to no avail. The video driver also crashed, i got a windows message then the game crashed and then the whole computer crashed with a blue screen. I can actualy remember the last time the whole computer crashed, it was in vista and only happened once, it was the memory stick that went bad.

Plus sides, i see through smokes if it has multiple layers like 3 smoke columns overlaying. *starts signing* i can see clearly now the rain is gone, i can see all obstacles in my way. gone are the dark clouds that had me blind =)... but i have no objective awareness

Yes, I alt-tab regularly and run full screen.

Change your video settings in the game to Full Windowed instead of Full Screen. There's no visual difference, but it could likely solve your crashing problem. I haven't crashed once in MWO since I changed.

I stream so I alt+Tab alot to make sure my stream on Twitch is running ok and also to adjust settings etc.. so would that make it a problem with this game?

[Y E O N N E]

Probably. If you set it to full-window, when you Alt-Tab it won't minimize the game but instead just bring up everything else on top of it. So you can still check your Twitch without running a risk of crashing.

Sorry to hear about your troubles bud. Wish I knew how to fix it.

[Vellron2005]

I alt+tab alot, and that usualy causes the game to hang on blackscreen for way to long if I do it just after finding a match.

Also, during the event, I've been getting strange graphic errors and glitches in the CW faction play screen..

The client regularly crashes to desktop at random intervals, I send a report every time (don't know if they do something with those)

Every time I change the audio output device, I have to restart the client or I have no audio. (like if I switch in headset and turn of speakers)

The game ALWAYS lags-out upon starting a match. Occasionaly lags out if many mechs are on screen also.

Note:

My computer is a 1,500$ rig that is 9 months old. Everything else works fine. After hearing from customer service's Bobby Jubraj (who is awesome) I tired some stuff, and ended up talking to my ISP which fixed things on their end. Still get occasional disconnects. Bobby suggested updating my graphics drivers (which I have yet to do, and am kind-of hesitating, cose' the last time I did that on a computer for reasons of Diablo3 not working, I ended up messing up my whole system, replacing my C-MOS battery, and having Blizzard ultimately tell me that D3 no longer supports my graphics card while the demo worked perfectly).

Also take into consideration the game worked fine until the construction crew cut PGI's optics and caused a game-wide inability to connect.

So yeah.. the game has been especially buggy of late..

Let me leave you with a little running joke we have in CWI..

If you are experiencing game issues, you must have a bad router, because the game code is perfect and NEVER crashes

I play in full window mode and have no issues with this, even while streaming.

This is completely random for me...

Some nights i log on and i CTD without even an error msg after every single match. Sometimes in the middle of a match, middle of building a mech, etc....

other night MWO says "disconnected from game server" but my internet never dropped, TS stayed running, kept talking, etc. But i still got held up for 10 seconds because of PGI. But the past two days i have played with out a single hang up...no issues at all. So i have no explanation for this at all.

It had nothing to do with me, my internet or my computer.

I logged off and went to play Tera, their game has never crashed on me to date.

I will try this tonight and see if I have better results.
I have been paying more attention to when it happens and it SEEMS to happen when I am doing something with the alt+tab.
