Deleted the Video8.cfg and only have on detailed water and terrain. Gamma at 1.5 to make noon look like noon not twilight.

So at 512 textures and a default feild of view I don't get that fine wire frame mesh overlay on the terrain. Just low res ground textures and colors. Remember why I use 1024 textures, Hires Pac and 110 FOV.

There is a surprising difference in the content of the video8 files. Always wondered why this happened some times. What's with the ongoing addition of DV's in front of  AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series? Feature or Corruption? Over the years I've seen the DV lines 4 rows deep. As soon as the DV line showed up, the game startup slowed down in the tower. Watching the FPS counter it stalls on 48 for a few seconds then continues to 59. Before the DV line showed up the FPS count went straight up to 59.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Well, found the bug causing the video string to get whacked, but it would not explain any type of CTD.

bustr, we need the code and offset from the Windows crash panel.  Hopefully that will give us an address to wrok from.

I wish I could give you it. One dosen't get generated. The system just hangs and does nothing. The best I get is from the event viewer which I posted. I think I know why...oopes, I'm a doofus.............

Crap, Crap, Crap I screwed my own pooch. Let me place the 8g pagefile back on C:\. I have a 1G on C:\ and an 8G on D:\. Do you want a minidump or a full dump on the next CTD?

Sorry I was trying to speed something up a while ago and forgot I changed the pagefile.

Don't need the dump, just the error code and offset address.

Odd but third time I logged on things seem a bit better. Terrain looks darker. Had to turn off shadows.
