Game freezing mid match now 2-3 times an hour. This issue for me started last patch but was vary uncommon. Conducted a reinstall after removing all game files prior too. Still having the freeze. Running vary high settings or low didn't seem to matter

Asus P8Z77-I deluxe

Used both nvidia drivers 310.90 and 306.96 had no effect on the rate of freezing.

Random game lock up has happened to me 5 times since last patch. Have to enter task manager to get out. I've cleared the cache and have installed the latest WHQL Vid driver.

• Was any error message provided with the crash, if so, which? Just locked up
  
• Where in the game or menus did the crash occur? In game
  
• What steps had been taken prior to the crash occurring? Regular play
  
• Does the crash re-occur for you if repeating those same steps? Cant say what the steps were.
  
• What are your video settings, did you change them since last patch? Not changed Full screen 1600 x 900 motion blur off medium settings
  
• What are your System specs?

Intel I5 3570

didn´t accept any keys in Game. Alt+F4 quit the game.

Start Animation was normal, didn´t load the Hud correct, so i couldn´t see the type of the enemy (friend or foe), after 5 sec (moving the mech to the right position with w) playing, the game didn´t accept any more keys.

Here an Update:

By using my Raven-3L, the client does not crash (freeze) every 2nd game - only every 4th ...

Followup1:
It's true: 4 games in a row with the Raven - no issues. But the 1st Game with Catapult... crash (freeze frame).

Followup2:
Hm, strange, now that it's evening time in germany, i get less crashes than before. While daytime, it was near to every 2nd game crash. Now, it's more stable. I did not change anything. As i said.... strange


Followup3:
VERY strange, without any changes now 6 games without any issues. It can't be, or can it? Is it more often if i play form germany while daytime? If so, it must be some issue with networking.

This does not seem to be time based. I have had it freeze occur on my first game, and I've gone a dozen games with no problem.

I'm finding an increase in the UI locking up post-match while the Mechlab still shows the mech as In-Game. Will return from match, look at Mechlab, and all UI buttons (arrows, menus) are no longer responsive. Task bar doesn't show the Launcher as Not Responding however, but I'll have to forcibly end the task regardless as it never recovers.

[The Verge]

Well, here is my feedback. My client keeps crashing if my GPU's are in CrossFire, but stays stable if not in Crossfire.

-There were no error messages
-the Client crashes after a match
-Turning off Crossfire helps, specially in Catalyst 13.1
-my video settings are at medium at 1920x1080, and haven't changed since last match

This is getting frustrating, I'm having a complete lockup every two matches, just tried deleting the shader cache folder, will report the results soon.

[Taron]

Well, it is all strange: Since nearly an hour no more crashes. But i did not change anything.

What the fu** is going on?


Follow up:
Whew, i'm tired now, played for hours, but what i noticed:
The longer i play (or the later it is in germany) the more stable the game becomes.

I have no idea what changed - i did not change anything: But in fact, while playing while daytime in germany, i had 50% crash rate. Now, while nighttime in Germany, it runs absolutly stable.

No dice, locked up again, still 50% chances of locking up each match, besides, it seems to be frying my CPU, it was running at 85 celsius.

Gonna have to wait for a fix, because it's simply unplayable with these conditions.

With heat vision on, I crashed two times in the same location, with the same mech. It's in Upper City right across the bridge from the elevated spawn. The game would freeze, then crash. I did an uninstall/reinstall after the first one, and lo and behold, same location, it crashed again.

Every now and then I get the game client hang when exiting the game. I have to Ctrl Alt Del to close it properly.

[Taron]

I got a patch file to test. By now, it works. Please tell us EXACTLY if you still have that freeze frame issue.

Where, when, what mech, what PC.

Ok 3rd crash I have had. Map was caustic valley conquest game. Using a Stalker 5M. Got just to near the end of the battle, 1 enemy mech left and hard freeze. Had to use task manager to get out.

Last 2 freezes where similar.

Never had any crashes like this prior to the patch

[Qarnage]

Crashed to desktop 3 matches in a row after 25 seconds of play. Gived up. Drivers, bios, softwares up to date. GTX 670, I5 3570k.

[Taron]

The patch file i got from the DEVs (a new texture.pak) did not help.

[Elessar]

For me this is the third time now that I freezed (after a day long period where it didn´t crash)

This time I was in Heatvision when it happened, on Forest Map in Conquest Mode
Nothing else to report...
MWO Client-Process was using 10% processor power and 640 MB (much less than the 8 GB I have) during the time I had to stop it
