It's definitely not Nvidia specific. Radeon 7870 here.


I'm curious -- Do any of you experiencing the crashes have only 1 monitor? (I'm wondering if having 2 (and running on one) is part of the issue?)

I have only one

Maybe you should try VSync. In my case it helps. There were no more freezes after enabling it in driver options (ATI 7970).

Limiting fps to 45 solved the freezing for me.

sys_MaxFPS = 45 in user.cfg file

i too have suffered from this. and alt-tab helps, yes, thx.

It's pretty much freezing every game for me. I'd have to hard boot the computer because I wouldnt even be able to get it back to desktop...just tried it in windowed mode and it still freezes. Hopefully this will be fixed soon..basically unplayable for me.

Since deleting the shader cache works for me and others, I would assume the issue is still related to your shader. One thing I noticed on the snow maps in this game was that some textures were flickering, if not completely blank. The only other time I've seen this occur was with the Steam Source Engine. The quick and simple fix for that problem was to drop the shader level from high to medium or lower. There is an option to do so in MWO in your advanced settings. I would suggest giving that a shot.

Set max fps didn't work for me. Still getting freezing crashing. It seems to hang the whole display driver.

Since the patch, ALT-TAB does not work any longer - only taskmanager to shut down game has an effect.

ctrl-alt-del to bring up task manager
ctrl-windows key to select MWO window
Might have to rotate selections several times. I find if I have something else up like firefox... I can select it then select the MWO window and it usually comes up. Takes a lot longer to come back up, but i can still get it to come back up and just hopefully before I'm dead.

Incase your wondering about video card I have EVGA GTX 680 with latest drivers 314.07

Limiting the fps to 41 did the trick for me

S!

Limited FPS to 55, VSync On and Post Processing to Low(not sure if any effect but hate the depth thingy blurring stuff up) seemed to cure it for me. Running 7970HD GHz Edition with 13.2 beta 6.

Been having this issue as well, will look into the "solutions" that have been posted in here when I get home, 7970 here.

[Faithsfall]

Been having this issue as well, GTX580 I'm able to get through several games fine then it freezes and locks up.

The last 3 times my screen is stuck just as my LRM'***** the enemy mech and it blooms with the dmg, wether this is the cause or not couldn't say.

Once the screen does freeze my PC just locks and have to do a hard reset.

Hi guys,my game also randomly freeze. but i wasnt getting any of this since the LATEST PATCH (like 2 days ago).

i see alot of you say it started happening febuary 5 but i played a shitload of match ( maybe 100) and never froze until last patch.

getting pretty frustrating as it occur quite often.

next crash ill try the fps_max and vsync stuff you gusy talked about i think

edit: running nvidia gforce, wnidows 7 and one monitor

cpu freeze altogether and needs a fresh reset.

Hello All,
I had this issue since I think the Feb 5 Patch. It was awful when it happened. I'm running a GeForce GTX 670 on Windows 7 Pro. This past weekend I double checked the VSync in the Options in MWO. I put the check-mark in and have not had an issue since. I'll update my post if the issue comes back, but I would start there.

Cheers,

If anyone is having this problem with a solid color when the game freezes. Along with sometimes the computer hanging. Also Running ATI GPU. I think I found the problem.

Just before the patch I was running CAT 12.11 Beta. The morning of Beta I went to CAT 13.1 WHQL. Patched and the problems started. So last night I went CAT 13.2 Beta. Still had problems. This morning I went back to CAT 12.11 Beta and I haven't (so far) had any locks or solid color screens.

Just had the Black screen and then back to client. So the drivers aren't the issue.

I have a nvidia GTX 560. This bug has been happening to me by several weeks, with 306.97, 310.90 and the latest 314.07. It's game related.
