Like you guys, had this issue since the week's patch with Piranha Hunt / Thanksgiving. Just tried this week's patch: CtD on second match and again on third match after I rebooted the program.

Been reading how PGI says they're focusing on the netcode right now, but never found anything that says they're at least aware of this specific problem other than that poll posted like Haydon Jurai mentioned.

VERY disappointed there is no fix for this in this week's patch....

[Zerostone]

This is driving me crazy too. I wish they at least would say they are working on it.

[Holem]

Stupidly, I activated my premium time right before thanksgiving thinking that I can get the best use out of it. Now I CTD all of the time. This is very disappointing.

I'm getting this constantly. It wasn't bad last week, but after today's patch, the game is totally unusable for me. I've had one successful match out of the past 9.

Same here, it launch it launches the game and right before it comes up it just disappears.

thats messed up i had this issue after nov 20th could not get into game , it ctd on launch, since new patch on 4th I have had 10 games no ctd. They are aware of the issue , as I have send multiple emails to support about it, they have known about it at least since nov 23rd/24th

[Holem]

Well, the poll they had showed 298 players having this problem and very few not.

I apologize to any players that is on my team and I CTD but I gotta get my MWO fix.

[Haydon Jurai]

I was able to make the game 100% stable for 3+ hours using Windowed Mode.

Until I grouped up.

Almost every time I try to group up, I crash on the first attempt, esp at Forest Colony.

Still the same 3 texture errors, despite a totally clean install.


[Error] Error: CTexMan::ImagePreprocessing: Scaling of 'objects/environments/skyboxes/forestcolony_clouddome_a.dds' compressed texture is dangerous (only single mip) [File=objects/environments/skyboxes/forestcolony_clouddome_a.dds]
[Error] Error: CTexMan::ImagePreprocessing: Scaling of 'textures/particles/weapons/laser_beam_1x4_lop0.dds' compressed texture is dangerous (only single mip) [File=textures/particles/weapons/laser_beam_1x4_lop0.dds]
[Error] Error: CTexMan::ImagePreprocessing: Scaling of 'textures/particles/weapons/ppc_beam_b.dds' compressed texture is dangerous (only single mip) [File=textures/particles/weapons/ppc_beam_b.dds]


I'm starting to wonder if maybe I could manually replace those with another texture that isn't crashing. Hmmm....

I continue to have CtDs with the latest patch.
I also did a clean install on 12/2. It didn't help.

Sometimes I have a run of bad luck - every attempt to drop crashes.
Almost always crash on the first attempt.
Sometimes I can go 8 games in a row and not crash.

I can't find any pattern, so assume it is random.
Change resolutions seemed to help for one boot.
After rebooting, it doesn't work.

Omicron log keeps giving me the same errors about "unsafe compressed textures".

Support keeps closing my tickets, and I don't see anyone from PGI acknowledging the problem beyond the poll in Known Issues.

Very disappointed, esp as someone who spent $120 on the game, haven't been able to play for weeks, and it looks like no one is working on the issue so I may never be able to play again.

It's funny how I have literally the EXACT same thing happening. I also sometimes go a long time without crashes, and sometimes I crash constantly, and it seems most of the crashes happen when I start playing, not after I've been playing a while.

[Ragz]

I've only had it happen once in a blue moon, perhaps in anti virus incompatibility problems? (it wouldn't be the first time norton or mcaffee had software incompatibility issues.). just a though, i roll kaperskey if it does happen its like my tenth or thirteenth match in. that or a memory leak of some sort. then it would be dependent on ram. but more ram would only make it take longer to crash (assuming it a garbage collection issue). it would be a coding issue at that point. just play a couple matches and restart the client every couple of matches should clear ram. It would only be a work around though.

[t3hRogg]

Posting to say I have this same problem. Can't start a match at all without crashing to desk with no errors.

[Serraphin]

Kinda feels like , if there is a problem that does not effect over 1000 people then those minority people with major issues can go jump !

[Viper217]

Joining the wagon to say I've been crashing to desktop on loading into a map a ton. Started after thanksgiving week patch, happens something like 1/3 of the matches I launch.

[Tormax]

I have to believe this is sound/music related. Music adjustment from zero crashed me several times from the settings page. Turning music off has cut down the % of matches I crash (Always while the match is loading). May be coincidence but figured I post it.

[GorkLovesMe]

Have had this problem for a while but the Nov 20 patch has made it much worse. Prior to the patch it only seemed to happen when I changed my mechs loadout but now it seems to happen with no rhyme or reason. I have been told launching from the mech bay makes it more common but I am unable to test this because the mech I currently use slot appears empty on my home screen.

[pjnt]

This problem has been around for months. They can't fix it. Go look at the hire page and see the list of net code and programmers needed. It will be a long wait.

[Serraphin]

This is what happens when you let small crappy companies launch cool games lol

[Salticidae]

im having the same problem, im joining 4 man grps and there always a man short cause when i get in game the window just goe's, i have lost loads of premium time and its murdered my KDR

[Egomane]

All those of you, that have these CTDs ...

Do you send in bugreports, with the crashdump.dmp file attached?
The more they get of those, the faster they will be able to pinpoint the bugs responsible for it.

I get a CTD maybe once or twice a week. 2 to 4 hours of playtime per day. By the numbers my Bug-Reports are assigned to, and the number of complaints about those bugs in the forums, something doesn't seem to add up.
