This happens to me every time the fighting gets good!



I start firing away and suddenly the game crashes!

I'm not the only player suffering from this issue either!

Having daily discos since last patch, but worse than before. On trying to reconnect the game loads, but then shows me a strange screen without any controlls (like QP/Comp/FP or the settings/log out buttons), while I can still hear the team VOIPing. So I Alt+F4 and start the game new.

No problems here with quality hardware. Check your CPU/GPU's temps, lower your OC if any, check if your fans spin up, check your PSU and your RAM. If your PC's working correctly, the game code is too.

Hai, I may have crashed 3-4 times this entire year, but at least 3 of those crashes were do to Windows 10 updating GPU drivers and doing a crapping job of it. I had forgotten to check to make sure it was still disabled that feature when Windows did a full version update, and that update had re-enabled several items, such as Xbox stuff and the driver updates..

Essentially, since PGI is not updating people's systems, etc, each system will be different on what has been applied, enabled/disabled, checking system stability, etc.

GPU driver
Sound driver (issues with this driver goes unnoticed often)
chipset drivers
repatching directx 9c June 2010 w/redistribution package, not the stand alone.

And Turboboost, which is a layperson's cheap overclocking, increases the power to fewer and fewer cores by increasing the BLCK (old name - FSB for AMD) BCLK effects not only the cpu frequency but also memory frequency. So instead of using a CPU multiplier (changing CPU base from 40x to 44x) the frequency is changed from 100 to 125, etc.

For troubleshooting/testing, after updating/installing drivers, one could disable turboboost as a test. Set to 97% or 98%. There are other ways to lock items down in bios, changing specific items from auto to a set value but this is only a first step to troubleshooting, and it is not difficult to reset it back to default.

5 or 6 crashes tonight. Couldn't even alt=tab to the send report button on most of them. Had to log off to kill the game that was already dead.
