I suffered from this issue too. It was so bad I'd end up back at mechlab 50% of the time or more each play session.

Tonight however, I moved two settings into play that I had not yet attempted. Vsync and Full Window Mode.

I had previously been running with Full screen. No Vsync.

Hopefully this will help the many of you with WHY THEY HECK IS THIS CRASHING? Issues.

The results so far have been promising with 10 matches without the mechlab or crash to desktop issue.

Aaand this stopped working today... *sigh*

I had several similar crashes of late, but remembered that I was running beta Nvidia drivers. Once I switched away from beta (to newer WHQL drivers), I only crash occasionally.

I'll try Windowed mode and disabling V-Sync, then report back. Maybe we can find a decent workaround.

I´m getting this since the january patch. Tried everything from updating gpu to trying all graphic settings, nothing helped. ctd in 10/10 games.

I would like a real fix, no workaround

Yep, that's been my timetable for crashes as well. I just tried Full Windowed with no V-Sync, and got a crash on the first match. I'll keep trying things, and post my results. I too would like to see a proper solution, not a workaround.

[Taidaan]

I just played a match where the graphics would freeze every minute or so. In fullscreen, an Alt+Tab would fix it, but in Full Window I had to Ctrl+Alt+Del to 'refresh' the graphics. I'm wondering if the issues are related.

Question about y'alls systems: what graphics card are you running, and do you use multiple monitors?

I've got a GTX 560Ti with the 314.07 drivers (dated Feb. 18), and it drives 2 monitors. My Intel HD3000 powers a 3rd screen. I'm going to try disabling those to see what happens.

UPDATE

After trying several configurations, I get fewer crashes (in fact, none while testing) when I'm only running 2 monitors. It didn't matter which monitor I ran in addition to the main; both the HD3000 and secondary output on the 560Ti ran fine.

I'm not using an Eyefinity or Surround setup; these are just some mismatched monitors for extra desktop real-estate.

Same here, press launch, and either from the black screen or from the load screen the game CtD, most times no message, sometimes the 128 thing or another less frequent message I cant recall right now.

Sick of it and about to uninstall after 3 weeks of this crap.

i changed from full screen to full window mode and im not crashing anymore.

[Taidaan]

I've gone back to crashing on my desktop, no matter what monitor or setting configuration I'm running. The Omicron.log isn't a wealth of information, either: it shows the same messages as when I hit Esc > Quit Match.

What hardware (graphics, drivers, processor, RAM, Windows) is everyone running? Hopefully we can see a pattern.

I've got an i5 2500K, 16GB RAM, GTX560Ti w/ 314.07 drivers, and Windows 7 64-bit.

Oddly, my laptop has had no issues in its 20-or-so matches: i7 3630QM, 8 GB RAM, GT650M SLI w/ 314.07 drivers, and Windows 8 64-bit.

[therealswilly]

I just started having this happen to me today after the patch installed.

I'm running 4 Gigs of DDR2 Ram, an EVGA GTX 460 SE Hermi, Intel Dual Quadcore, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

[chiXnhawk]

I had this "crash to mechbay" problem worse and worse. I switched to Full Window Mode. I turned off Vsync (my FPS is low anyway.) I changed my game resolution to match my desktop resolution. I have not crashed to mechbay since.

I did all this and it didn't really help.

[Big STRETCH]

I have been going through this same problem for a couple weeks now it is ungodly frustrating.after a week of giving support info I finally recieved my answer :

The issue you submitted has been added to our database and forwarded to the development team so they are aware of it. Thanks for submitting it
Unfortunately we do not have any workaround for this issue yet.

To me this is BS. I have only been playing for a month have spent over 100$ on hero mechs and premium time that I cannot use. MWO's response is completely unsatisfactory
Well I guess this ends my short career as a pilot was fun while it lasted.

Unsatisfied CUSTOMER, STRETCH

[Jcolt45]

I am having the same issue. I have tried all the video options I can think of. Changing from full window to windowed seemed to work for a couple games but then started crashing back to mechbay every game again. Any fix would be greatly appreciated.

[Torsmo]

Also suffering from this, since last patch

[chiXnhawk]

I can now not make it 3 games in a row with out dropping. I've wasted 25 premium days to not being able to play due to this games problem not my computer.

[Cacafuego]

Having the same issue. Drop suddenly to mechlab. No discernible pattern as to when it happens.
