Blue Screen
« on: January 16, 2012, 12:29:32 PM »
Maybe this topic has been posted before. I looked through several pages and did not see this problem in the Technical, Help, or Aces High Bug
Reports.

I have have had several episodes of a blue screen while in the turret zoomed view of the Tiger II.
The screen goes completely blue yet the game still functions. I used the "ef dot command" to exit the tank even
though I could not see the text bar that usually appears. Once I am back in the tower the game functions
normally. It happened once in the T-34/85 while in the turret view, but has happened more with the Tiger II.

In the video settings when the game boots up I have Anti-aliasing set to off and max texture size set to 2048.
In the game, the graphics detail, advanced......everything is checked except for smooth shadow (causes frame rate hit when checked).
I am not aware of any GPU heat issues as I manually set the fan control to run at 70 per cent. The video card runs with the default settings
and is not overclocked. I have the latest video drivers (Catalyst) installed. My fps are usually 59-60 and rarely deviate from that.

I cut and pasted my dx report from my ah beta thread on patch 19. and btw.....the beta seems to run fine. I have not seen any crashes or CTD's of any kind.

no one has left any comments.  :(  I assumed this has happened to someone else out there.
and btw.....it is not that Windows Blue Screen......the AH program still works, and going out to desktop there
is no Windows error reported. Hitting / and typing in .ef lets you go back to tower and AH works normal again.

I'll roll the video drivers back to a previous version and see what happens and run a program to make sure my memory sims are running normal.
PCWorld usually has some free utilities to try out.
