Is it just me or is anyone else having this most anoying problem?

No warning, nothing constant, just when ever it feels like it... CTD

HTC might still be working on the switchover from AH1 to AH2. Might be a few connection problems for the first week is my guess.

Morph - don't know if this will help, but...

...when I first used my current PC (built Oct. 2003) to play AH1, I got random CTD - sometimes after 5 mins, sometimes after ½ hour. No pattern. It turned out that with my CPU clock settings, the system was being pushed too hard. (I had set up my XP2600 with XP2800 settings by mistake) It could be that your settings are wrong, but that you've got away with it in AH1, but you're not getting away with it in AH2 because of higher demands on your system's resources.

It's worth checking your clock/multiplier settings. See my thread in H/S about this.

Thanks Beet. I went through them yesterday to make sure everything was ok after a power outage. They are all fine, nothings over clocked, as it never has been and everything is looking ok as of right now.

It seems to be ok right now. Maybe with more people loggin in it could get worse? I have a hard time though thinking this is a connect problem. It just doesn't seem that way.

I did Once too, it actted the same as the ones that occured becuase of a terrain bug. ON radio upon relogging 3 or 4 also said the were CTD at same time as I was.

Yes, I got two of them myself:mad:

Now before you all start in on what I should check in "MY" system, just stop right there! It's NOT my computer
I have a $3000 gaming rig, that is all this thing is used for, I play games & sims on it. Funny how I can play IL2, Farcry, Q3, Call of Duty, BF1942, GPL, GTR racing {beautiful btw} Max Payne2 {one of my fav's} OFP {the latest} Raven Shield, PlanetSide, H&D2 and a couple more I'm sure, for hours & hours and the only prob I have is a sore wrist or tired back.
I have been an avid gamer for many years, heck I am the founder of TNGG {Tenino Network Gaming Group} we have played, beta tested and even helped develop many different games and sims.
I play these games all the time, belong to many different gaming communities, even have two friends that are working on 1/2Life2 with Valve.
So, yes I tend to get real irratated when there is a problem in a game and the first thing I keep hearing is, you need to adjust this and that, update that driver, check your system.......blah blah blah.
Well it isn't MY system, now don't get me wrong I'm not taking the time out of my busy day to bash HTC or point fingers. They have done a tremendous job with AHII, but from a true sim player the game needs some work, im sure there are some prob's with peoples outdated hardware & software but lets face it, alot of these guys have some nice toys and are being told "you need to check this & that"

When I need to start making all these "adjustments" on my end just to play a game, one needs to ask themselves, is the game not setup right? or maybe the hassle isn't worth the return?
My 2&1/2 cents.

For those who don't know my specs are:
P4 3.2GHZ @ 800fsb w/Thermalright SP-94 cooling {Latest drivers, no OC}
Abit IC7-Max3 i875p w/latest drivers & bios
1.0GB Corsair XMS DDR3200pro matched set
256MB Radeon 9800Pro XT {no OC} currently using Omega 24.96b driver set {have used them all, even stock drivers}
2- WD 74GB 10,000rpm Raptor drives {no raid}
Audigy2 Platinum {latest drivers}
Pioneer A07-XLB DVD+RW {latest firmare}
Antec 480wt true power
Sony 21" GDM-520 monitor
No floppy
WinXp Pro

I had a CDT last night. No warning, just got dumped. However, I'm quite sure it does not relate to hardware settings as I flew the beta for months without a single CDT or disco. No doubt in my mind that it relates to the AH2 final release patch.

My regards,

Widewing

My guess is that it has somthing to do with bomber drones and gunners. Been trying to dup it all day.

No bombers or drones in sight during my 6+ CTDs. Not even any DAR bar in the sector for a couple.

I had two CTDs this evening and my squaddies have all had several too on ndisles terrain.

#1: Spawned B17 (with Thunders skin) A16 NE runway. CTD after 5 seconds.

#2: Typhoon rtb, no buttons being pressed at the time. CTD at A18. Only enemy in range was an A6M and LVTs. A squaddie, Overlag, had a CTD at exactly the same time although he was in a totally different part of the terrain.
