Author Topic: What percentage of people have CTD?? (Read 799 times)

Hedgehog · « **on:** August 19, 2002, 03:02:07 PM »

Hi People,

I am one of the unfortunate people that, at the moment, has CTD issues that make AH practically unflyable. I've been in AH since the very start, and I'm trying hard to make AH work again for me, reading what I can about installing updated versions of everything.

The times I have persisted and have asked people online, people comment that many people are having the same problem. But I find that hard to believe. I mean, if the problem is so bad that if, say, 50% of the simmers had this problem, I'd imagine a huge departure of these people from the sim in short order.

I'm still hanging in there, but I'm curious - how many of you are having this problem? If the percentage is 5%, then I can see why the issue is not getting the attention that it deserves. However, if the percentage is much higher, I can't imagine why full resources aren't being put out to squash the dreaded bug - which usually mean that it does in fact get squashed quickly.

Please post, so that we can find the percentage.

I'll cast the first vote - the CTD problem is so bad for me that AH cannot be flown "seriously", and doing more than just flying around alone is suspect to failure.

=Thanks,

p.s. Any chance that the bug has been squashed in the past few days, and I just missed it?

My inflight CTD's completly stopped after the last patch.

I've crashed from the hangar while selecting loadout options a couple of times but not in the air since the last patch... knock on wood.

I never had them before and I still don't.

I had two CTDs happen in close succession (within 1 hour) since the last patch. No others.

I have had a hard lockup from a tailslide collision with the ground.

I get a fair share of UDP lost messages followed by a "Host connection lost" ISP OK, could surf etc, and I reckon I've had about 5 "Lockups" (Tail slide into the ocean does it everytime). But CTD's Only 1 (Last night)

was flying along, no one around AFAIK) and suddenly staring at my wallpaper, No GPF, BSOD, No AH in Taskbar or Tasklist... just gone. Restarted AH straight in no more problems

I seem to get CTD's in bursts. I haven't had any for a few days, last it got bad for 1 day and I had 10 pretty fast.

Can I point people to this thread in bug reports and particularly the 2 replys from HT and Superfly. I start my film recorder now as soon as I log back in to the MA after a CTD, typically I haven't had 2 CTD's in a row since I posted the thread but I'll keep trying.

I think if we give HTC some REAL hard data on this they might start identifying whats causing this. I'm guessing "waaaaaaa I get loads of CTD's" doesn't help much.

I CTD maybe once every 20 connections. Haven't had the tail/slide bug since it was "squashed".

My CTD's have diminished but the screen freeze has started after the last patch.

As to data, I supplied the data regarding my system and the times / circumstances of the CTD's on more than one occasion. The problem is still there.

My only 2 CTD were caused by this bug, well, I did have a hard lockup once in an M3 but I've had none since patch #4

No CTDs since last patch, 1 tailslide into water freeze (tho I could still kill AH from the task manager).

Hornet · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2002, 07:09:52 PM »

only 1 CTD since patch, occurred chasing a formation of Ki67's on the deck. Reinforced my opinion that the CTD's are related in some way to the new bomber formations.

Not a single CTD, lockup or crash since patch 4 was released. Nearly 11 hours of flight in conditions that used to induce computer seizures (around buffs, ships, big dogfights). I had 10 discos in the few days preceding the release of the patch. Happy and disco free now.
