I'll note I freeze most often when I get a kill, probably 70% of my freezes are exactly on impact, I don't see the message, this is confirmed by people over teamspeak (which still runs fine). LRM's seem to be a primary suspect for me.

I too am starting to experience this problem since this morning. Screen freezes before the animated start-up sequence. It will show the map and mode that is going to be played but then goes to the black screen and that's it.Crtl Alt Delete to get out. Restart client. Seems to be happening about every 3-5 matches.

Experiencing this as well, but only since the 3/5 patch tried multiple things nothing worked, until I cleared the shader cache, not problems since, but may do the batch script thing

I get the black screen problem.

Whole screen goes black. Sometimes I can still hear sounds and mechs walking past or fighting, othertimes I can't hear anything.

Alt-Tabbing back and forth only sometimes fixes this, it seems to work better since the last patch for me tho. (coming out of the blackscreen more often than before)

Alt-Tabbing also sometimes fixed the freezing I was getting, tho very rarely. (no black screen, just frozen frame, can still hear sounds) It seems the freezing for me has stopped after the recent patch, only black screen now so far.

I am having this exact same issue. Windows 8. Can't even go to task manager, I have to restart.

Same here. I can alt-ctrl-del and then choose task manager, but then all I get is a black screen and I can't alt-tab to the task manager. I have to completely restart my computer. I've even lowered my graphics all the way down, even though my graphics card plays everything else on the highest possible settings without so much as a hiccup.

Win8 64 bit, Radeon HD 7950, core temps during game are around 35C. Brand new computer, and this happens on NONE of my other games.

I have this exact problem which started after the last game update. I use Geforce 680 and newest drivers. I had drivers that were a few months old and thought new ones would help. It didn't.
Randomly the game will just stop. When you go to task manager MWO is listed as not responding.

Have to close out the game there. VERY VERY frustrating. Happens to me on all maps, all mechs, fire fight, standing still, moving, running, walking, everything.

Game freezes during load in's and sometimes during explosions durning mid-game. Running Nvidia GTX 560 Ti

[total gore]

thought i had found a work around but alas it doesn't work anymore. in the omicron log does anyone else get something like

"[Error] CryAnimation: no valid character file-format: EngineAssets/Objects/Default.cgf

I have sent a few logs to the devs. I hope this gets fixed. This is a game killing bug and makes it really hard to enjoy this game.

Still freezing up during matches after 19 March patch. No freezes with fps limited to 50.

All drivers are up to date


Have the same crashes independent in which mech or map.
Game freeze from time to time in match mostly when lrms are fired, impact or on their way.

[Faithsfall]

This seems to be increasing now getting a full lockup about every 5 matches.

Not experiencing any heat issues or having problems with other games with larger particle effects, so not sure what the problem is.

Same exact problem. I enabled Vsync which limits my FPS to 60 and I had no freezes last night. I played like 10-15 consecutive matches without a freeze. I used to go maybe 3-5 without a freeze.

[Elric]

I've been having this issue since Feb as well.
Sometimes every match (3-5 in a row), and sometimes I can get in 5 w/o the freeze.
Happens on every map with different mechs (most of mine are AC + Laser - no missile).
I do sometimes have texture issues on Frozen City.
Deleting the Shaders folders did not fix my freezing, nor did the ALT-Tab thing.

A game just froze for me.

I was crashing on all of the snow maps just recently, but deleting my shaders and turning on V-sync fixed the issue. Give that a shot, see if it makes a difference.

[Kenyon Burguess]

5-6 matches in I get a freeze, then im good for an hour or so again. alt-tab doesn't help, I have to end the game with ctrl-alt-del

Thx for this just enabling v-sync has made a world of difference.

Got one too... first game glitch in well over a month! Had to ctl/alt/delete out as well. Funny thing was the audio of my COM engine sound continued on (not responding to throttle changes though) until I closed the client. I didn't know I could get back into the match :/

[KOKO]

Looks like this is a FPS problem. I have a 120hz monitor at home and it crashes frequently. Settings sys_MaxFPS = 90 for me (680GTX can handle that good) it is better, a lot less crashes. If i play in a hotel (60hz Monitor, same PC), i can play without MaxFPS, because VSYNC is on... so after three month of telling what is wrong you really should came up with a fix for fast computers ....

I was wondering whether this was a fluke but I don't have time for more games today to test it out further and if people are desperate then it may help. It apears to be mostly with core i7 machines and something clicked today as there was an age old problem when the first gen i7's came out where certain games did not like hyper threading. It's not something I think about anymore as it's not been an issue with a game for a long time.

As i've been crashing loads again this week though, umpteenth re-install did nothing for me, 6 crashes in 8 games this morning for example. I've now disabled Hyper Threading in my BIOS and have just done 16 games without a crash. It may be just a fluke but it's worth trying if your desperate.

I'll write back if I get a crash, won't really be able to play until tomorrow though.

[Sifright]

Getting the exact same problem. uninstalled in disgust when i had almost every match i played for two hours lockup one after another.
