Anyone experienced any crashes since the patch? Me and another player just crashed out of Rubellite, and I cannot remember the last time I have had that happen. Black screen, GPU driver blew up and everything.

New windows update probably. If it is MWO just run repair tool.

No problems here.

Nah I killed windows update after installing win10, but I think the patch process must have corrupted something.

Dependent on when you updated Win10, if you havent you may wish to double check it. I have had Win10 reset those settings 2x back to default after a major Win10 update, which then updated the GPU driver.. ugghh.. what a mess.

Running W7 and yes, it's more often and seems to happen when i alt tab in from firefox at the wrong moment. If I don't run it or at the very least alt tab in when the match is running. It seems to me like it most often happens if I alt tab in just as the screen switches during loading.

I removed the update as well but if just keeps being readded win 10 is a horrible os.

MWO doesn't like tabbing, because it can't handle different powerstates of your GPU. Put your client in full windowed mode to avoid crashes caused by tabbing.
