Every time this bug has happened to me, I was standing around C5 area, and I would turn right, back toward the base I just started at. Once my camera angle passed that of the cave exit closest to my base, my client would freeze.

I followed your instructions for a workaround, and now the game will not open. I can do the launcher, there is no patching, and then as soon as the game client opens, it crashes, no error message.

I think you misspelled freeze

i cant remember the exact cords. but its the c3/d3 side i think it might be around c6 but i am not sure its the snow ramp where lrm boats sit on

[Crimson Fenris]

Got this sort of issue twice yesterday, no "Fread" error message, but a simple CTD.

Happens at least a couple of times in Frozen City, maybe on other maps, but cant remember.

Most times I was the leader of the premade group, dont know if its related.
Running in the Founder Jenner.
- CTD when JJ and landing on a (alive) Dragon top.
- CTD in the same way, but just after I killed another Jenner
- CTD when chasing a Raven.

All in Frozen City map, on various locations, without error message... and in different situations.

I get it at the starting location right after I first turn into the direction I want to. Not every time, but just a few seconds ago (again).
It started after I activated Speed Tweak on my first 'Mech and I have seen it on the others also only once I had Speed Tweak activated. Could be coincidence, though.

I'm not sure if my issue is always an fread error, just so you know. I did get a message once, but I can't remember what it said.

For me, it seems that the game freezes in Frozen City if I stay still too long. For the most part, as long as I stay moving it'll be okay and I can finish the match. But, if I stop for whatever reason (that is, set the throttle to 0), there's a mighty good chance that the game would freeze when I try to start moving. I would have to access task manager and end the process to get out of it. I've been mostly playing the trial Centurion when it happened, but I think it also occurred when I played the trial Dragon. I haven't noticed a trend in what location this happens.

This hasn't happened in any of the other maps I've played in either, so I'm inclined to think this issue is only related to the frozen city map.

[Spooky01]

My issuse is while playing and having a fire fight for some reason the game turns itself off and I find myself looking at my desktop. So far this has happened twise today on Frozen city map.

[Soviet tincan]

Same here, client just terminates (I see no error messages) on Frozen City map after few minutes of gameplay =\

[GL Chozo4]

Just got it a moment ago.. though I ended up with 2 FRead errors. One in River City upon join AND another upon join in Frozen.

So... chalk up another +1 for yes. For further assistance I have linked the shaders cache from my client for further data. http://rwinds.no-ip....hadersFREAD.rar

edit:
Just got it a couple more times - First A riverCity Join FREAD followed by a Fronzen City FREAD on join. THey seem to possibly be related to alt-tabbing during the 'searching...' dialog. Annoyingly, this is making me look bad as well considering each time I have 2 ravens locked into games.. embarassingly.

Seems to be related as well to the Shader Compilers erring out based on the following screenshot...

This happens to me only in Frozen City near D4\D5, about a third of the matches played in Frozen City if I enter any where near these two blocks MWO will freeze up and I have to Alt-Del and close the client from the task manager.
I then get a nice repair bill for my mech, I would like to forward these bills to PGI for refunds.

[MechWarrior849305]

I had this almost 10 times already. But I had this issue with different conditions: sometimes game collapses during match (w/o any error message) and kickes to desktop, once game freezed during exiting match to main window (just after game results match closed and main window freezed), once in main window I've got freeze just because afk - when I returned, I got message "Logged out due to idleness", closed it and instantly got freeze. Last time game collapsed in Frozen City, can't quite remember the place, but it's near to base, just 1-2 squares to NW. (Spawn, where a channel is on the left to base). I was on the right side of base, watching right approach, then moved to the left to channel when enemies were coming and got to theirs' back. Started fire into back of one and moved along. And suddenly game shutted down.

[Verminaard]

Mine crashes with this (normally) when:

- I've played multiple matches (8+) then launch into frozen city. I normally proceed to get this error upon countdown or just after. (3L Raven)
- When playing River City it has happened twice randomly during gameplay. (one near the end of the match, another upon loading) (atlas DC and Raven 3L respectively)

~ This bug has NEVER happened to me on my first 3 matches of the day, only once i've played a few before logging out.
~ Happens regardless of location, just seem to pop up occasionally. (5% of games played)
~ Has happened upon logging into my account on HOME page or mechlab, kicking me to windows. Only fix was a clean reinstall. (This didn't prevent the ingame problems however, only my pre launch ones.)

That's all I have at the moment.

hm i get the feeling that when some people experience a CTD or memory error, that´s when for me the framerates drop to 0.5...

but on the other hand, that happens 90% of the time on frozen city, but i registered that issue once on river city and once on forest colony (i think always close to some kind of buildings) ... dunno if those errors are related, but i guess it´s worth a look... (since all of them seem to happen after a while of gameplay)

I'm getting the crash too, I startup a game on frozen city and it either just doesn't load or I get a FPS drop then crash, it's frustrating seeming I just got a one day boost.

[x Marder x]

not only frozen city but forestcolony too. I just delte the pak fieles becouse they are corupt and replace them with new pac files.
