last couple of nights I have not been able to play at all except for a couple of drops. This morning I was doing fine then I got kicked off server and got the profile not authorized error while trying to log in. I reset my computer and I got to log on. Now the last 5 attempts to drop in a game I get the map load screen then black screen and CTD. Very annoying!!!

Been having this issue for quite some time now. Sometimes get 6-8 in a row without a crash then get 10 in a row CTD. Doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to it. On the plus side you get drop into 4 matches and at least add to your C-bill stash. Only thing that keeps me from raging and throwing things.

thats true, just sucks because I don't want to play with my crew and make them 1 man short. I uninstalled my client and reinstalling it. Hopefully that might some how work.

I hear ya man, but re-installing just has not worked at all for me. I've done it numerous times now and just has not helped at all. Hope it works for you.

since I've re-installed seems like Its better, but my fps drops to 4fps almost every drop.

Can you share with these folks any tweaks, updates, changes you may have made to your system?

[DragonsFire24SS]

one thing I remember.... when I got back on MWO(last week) since closed beta I had to a lot of updates from since I last played. After doing a certain amount of updates were complete it allowed me to go into mechlab and mess around until it finished patching so I can launch. This time around after I uninstalled the client using control panel>programs and features. I let it download and patch completely before going into mechlab or anything. I'm going to jump on right now to see if it was just a fluke. My computer consists of:
win7 64bit
6gb ram
220gts nvidia video card
and 2.66 quad core extreme

I'm the friend that Gallowglas mentioned earlier.

This problem has been a plague upon my house since the 27 Nov patch. The only time it does not effect me is on 8 man drops. I can play 8man all night an never have an issue. Single or 4man drops and it comes right back.

I've been following all the threads about this and gone through all manner of tweaks and changes to mitigate this one and nothing has worked. Considering the number of people this is affecting AND that I can play 8man with no issues, I am very inclined this is the result of some code involved in the match making. The 8man is simplier and pared down system that isn't checking for weight limits and trying to match up players. It just takes one 8man group and dumps them in with another 8man group.

So, the question is: Has anyone else with this problem tried running 8man? What were the results???

I'm also willing to get on TS, meet up with other guys having this problem and test some big 8man drops and see if we have disconnects.

[DragonsFire24SS]

I've done a couple of 8mans and the other night. I believe 4 out of 5 crashed... I guess last night was just a fluke because I tried my first launch right now and I crashed!!!

todays log:
1st drop- ctd
2nd drop- I made it in and played the whole match
3rd drop- made it through again

well so far today, I've only had two crashes. The first one, and one a little while ago.

[Nopi]

I get the same thing, starting on the same date...

I have reinstalled MWO AND Windows.

[HammerAnvil]

I've had this since the same patch. Essentially I can't play the game anymore.
I've re-installed the game. I've updated to the latest beta vid drivers (from the whql ones). I've tried various vid card settings. I've tried disabling the AV.

Again
Q9400 (quad 2.6)
nVidia 560 ti
4gb ram
Win 7 64b

I do not have any issues running any games in the crisis series (also uses cryengine) or any of my other games -BF3, STO, DoW2,

I run Teamspeak when I play. Happy to turn on any additional debugging if it will help.

See you on the battlefield...looking afk...because I've crashed to desktop again.

I'm running MWO on Win8x64 AMD Phenom 6 core 3,3 GHz, 8 GB Ram, Geforce 470GTX.

When I wanted to play today in the morning I got 10 CTDs in a row, so I started to look if I could find what causes the issue.

I checked the crashdump.dmp file, there I saw that the issues where caused by nvd3dum.dll.
As a result of my finding I uninstalled the graphic card drivers(newest stable), and replaced it with an older driver (302.82) additionally I unchecked any 3D vision option during the driver install.

After that my CTDs were (almost) gone, I only had one more CTD in about 15 games and when I checked the crashdump.dmp it was caused by some cryengine .dll.

At least this procedure helped for me, maybe it works for others too. If you want to downgrade your GFX card driver please keep in mind that you should deinstall your current driver before doing so in the system center(installed programs and device manager).

Maybe one more thing to mention, I play in windowed mode only, as I have the feeling that the game crashes much more often in fullscreen mode.
