Moratorium on bombers
« Reply #15 on: August 12, 2002, 10:33:57 AM »
Bomber Formations are not the culprit, at least not for me.

I fly in the CT and have had the following CTD's and hard lock-ups:

Select one of the new planes that I've never flown before (Zero, Wildcat, Val) for the first time, click the button that puts me on the runway - CTD
Selecting that same plane a second time after relogging will not lead to another CTD

Fly straight and level (on auto) with absolutly no cons near - hard lock-up

There are others that I can't recall exactly, but none of them had anything to do with buff formations. Actually the times where I did shoot down buff formations went very smooth with no CTD or hard lock-up.

I had at least 6 CTD's and HLU's last night and diden't notice any pattern as to what could cause them. I was filming while one of them occured - will look at it later today.

I can't recall having any problems prior to version 1.10, apart from the occasional "disco" 2 or 3 times a tour...

btw, a notoriously CTD prone game called Morrowind runs smoothly on my system, so I figure that my computer is performing ok as far as newest drivers blah blah etc goes :)

Well per my experience it doesnt have anby set criteria! Last night i was in a dog fight with another spit ( i was spit too) i was 300k off his butt when the ice storm hit and everything froze!

Not some 5 -10 - 30 sec freeze complete and done freeze! i had to reboot the hard way and jump back on!
As well i've experienced the CTD's but never till this last patch for CTD's or freezes

the other problem i get is while in a dogfight my sound goes nuttz and start buzzing and beeping like crazy with real loud squelching noises. but thats been less the and freezing or CTD's!
and thats been a problem for ever here in AH. That or mu guns sounds go crazy, like my machine guns are 4x as loud as my cannons and full of bass!

Bombers cause screen freezes here
kill part of formation, look back to see the havoc you cause, and freeze.

Unfortunately Morrowwind runs fine here :mad:
While AH is quite buggy now.

Hope this patch 4 fixes it
BTW where is our 163!!

EddieK I had a case of screen freeze yesterday in the snapshot.  Downed two Bostons, again the remaining Boston went nose down, reversed up, nose down reversed back up etc.  Knew the lockup was coming when I saw that.  About the fifth lockup....all occuring when attacking bomber boxes.
