Game freezes/crashes to Desktop from the middle of a Match.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Boot the game.
2. Login to the game.
3. Launch a match.
4. Observe as the game freezes part way into gameplay.

Notes
If left alone, the freeze should become a crash to desktop.

Workarounds
None Known. (Niko says Ejection seats eject spontaneously, bring a helmet)


Workaround I found that works with my game is to immediately "alt-tab" out of game to the desktop and select the MWO window again.

02/25/2013 EDIT Since last series of Patches:

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.

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've had the same issue, and same success as Alik.

Doesn't happen often, but if I alt-tab out then click to reopen I've been fine.

Also experiencing this problem since the februari 5th patch. Only thing that helps is killing the game with taskmanager.
Using a GTX670 with 310.90 driver.

Alt Tabbing right at the start up sequence and not the initial main screen where you can view all the players and rules fixes the game freeze for sure. Been doing so each time and no crashes at all.
However, when left alone and not alt tabbing in and out and it crashes completely, folders on my desktop are opened and moved around and resized.
