Try setting windows to optimize performance. This helped me even though I still have the CTD, just not as often.

Game crashes after the level loading bars but before I see my cockpit. Seems like the first match of every day, I reopen the client and play 3-4 more and then it does it again. Appears to be mech independent.

Keep crashing to desktop, how is it that the bugs are increasing and not decreasing?

[Frustro]

I ctd on match startup so often it's almost become part of the game now. Will I get to fight or not...exciting times.

Client unstable and crashing to desktop. Launch seems to fail. Time to do something else then and waiting fix for this. Got this same message what others got also. So seems not to be only my problem.

Dump and full logs send to support. Hopefully they found the problem.

I get CTD 4 out of 5 launches, most occur during map load before I see my cockpit. I have had a few that crash as the cockpit display becomes available.
Have never crashed mid game, 1 in 10 played successfully will I crash after the match is complete.
Really hope we figure out a workaround or a fix soon - 4 of 5 CTD is not working out well.

Crashes did not start until I patched Nov 20 and 23 patches.

Game seems to require a restart every 4-5 matches or the framerate goes straight to hell. That and the occasional crash to the desktop makes the client one of the least impressive of the 3 games I've been alpha and beta testing during the last six months.

It's extremely frustrating and getting to the point where I'll be moving on to greener pastures for a while. The stability and options of other f2p/freemium type games will provide a much more stable and enjoyable environment until things around here start to change.

Getting some crashing to desktop while loading into the game. The following is what was reported for the last one:

I find that it happens often the first time I launch (in a given session). Then if I restart the client and launch again (when my mech is returned to me or with a trial mech) it generally runs just fine for a while at least.

Hope that helps... kind of tired of crashing a lot.

Same for me, although it's more variable. Sometime I'll CTD 3 times in a row (before giving up on playing altogether). This started for me with the latest patch. I never had CTDs 3 months ago.

Game is crashing like hell atm, especially when european and american users online same time.
For my feeling its about serverload, more load on server means more crashes.
I think its time for a european server, it would take some load from american servers.

Yesterday evening it was terrible like never before: In 2h playing nearly no match with 16 active players...

CTD maybe 1 in 15 games since last patch / moving to game on a beefier system due to FPS loss.

Game crashes more than usual. First thought it was the result of my OC, but my temperature probes stay in a healthy range and Saturday's gaming session with another game told me otherwise. At this point stability is still OK for me though. Performance issue should be tackled first.

[CodeNameValtus]

I CTD seems like mid-match most often. Although the people I play with regularly CTD right on drop.

I would like to know if there's a known thing where something you do in game causes a CTD.

[Mike McSullivan]

After last weeks patch i registered CTDs quite regularly. minimum once per day (10-15 games).
i read a little workaround in the german section of this forum, posted by Greg Summers.
rightclick on your desktopicon, goto properties(?)-> compatibilitys(?)->deactivate desktop arrangement(?), save
second one, start as admin
doesnt help to 100%, though

?: dont know what the english word is^^

Tried this - did nothing for me. Even restarted my computer before booting up MWO. CTD on the first drop.

Servers are having a problem right now? The game crashed 3 times in a row at load. And when I got to the game without crashing, 5 people instantly disconnected after the match started. 3 from enemy and 2 from my team so I don't think this was random disconnects, the server is killing us out there, lol. The game is completely unplayable atm.

[tuokaerf]

Getting CTD after every 2-3 matches tonight, mostly on match start or in the middle.

Also getting a lot of Lost Connection to Server errors when in Mechlab.

/Confirm

Multiple crashes ingame.
The last week I've had minimum 1 crash / day, yesterday I've had 3 crashes to desktop.
My client crashes without freezing or flickering graphics - it just "turn off". Not in Mechlab (here it "freezes" sometimes), just ingame.
That's an new problem for me, because before I've crashed about 1 time in 10 days (or someth.)

My client is crashing before I can even click on the mechlab or pilotlab tabs or the menu or anything. It's crashing seconds after starting up. This is unplayable for me at this time. I would like to avoid having to reinstall, yet again...
