What percentage of people have CTD??

[LePaul]

Only had one CTD prior to the patch that I recall....they were that infrequent.  Now I'm getting 1 to 2 a night with the new patch.

My conx has always been 'rock solid' going back to the Beta.  But sadly I have had two discos in the last week.   I'm not complaining yet.  It would take more than that before I get concerned.

Can't remember my last ctd / computer freeze. i think it was 2 or 3 patches ago.

[Ripsnort]

Roughly 10 hours of online time, I've had 0 CTD's and 1 lock up (while being shot in an M3)

Well im stillgetting them too! almost worse after newest patch
if i had to say in a 3-4 hour session ill get at least 1 -2 freezes
and 1-2 CTD.
usuall its when im in a dog fight or just about to JABO so important targets! (arent they all)

but none the less my .02 Cents about my CTD's and freezes

I play two on line games using two different machines.  One machine will CTD in both games, the other machine doesn't CTD at all.

Both machines have the same version of DirectX, the CTD box has Win2K pro, the one that works is Win2K server.

I'm not convinced this isn't a DirectX issue, and not an AH (or EQ) problem.  Quite a few people in EQ are also having CTD and "Freeze on Sound" issues as well.  Exact same symptoms I get in AH.

HTH.  HAND.

2 CTD's here since last patch (flew quite a lot). And before that I only had CTD's when I switched to the KI67's bombsight (tried only twice).

125%:)

Since the last patch I have had only a couple - one was in that snapshot with the p40s vs. the 202's (i.e. no bombers around).  I seem to be able to attack bomber formations without fear of CTD again.

Almost all my CTD's have also come with an error message - somethign about  "Ddhelp".  Doesnt crash the computer though, just Aces High. After such an event I can do anything else I want, but run the AH executable until I restart the computer.

It is a bit of a nuisance but no big deal - except in events of course.

[muckmaw]

4 CTD's in 18 hours of flight this month.

Before the patch, I would average 1 CTD a month.

This is bearable though. I've no major complaints at this time.

Can I have you job??  I wish I could play AH at work

Seriously, I get about 1 CTD every 2-3 days.  For me it's relatively random.  There's no single factor that I can pinpoint that causes them.  Personally, I think it's a driver/hardware issue as I have my athlon overclocked.  I'm going to bring my system back to stock to see what effect it has.

Yes ive been sitting around machining parts alot lately .. so Since im making money ... i can sit in the office on my pc and play/serf/ect ... yes i have one of those great jobs thats fun, has flexable hours,  and doesnt pay the best .  who really needs work related stress ?


It starting to look like about 20-30% are still having ctd's here . and perhaps we need a chat thread with just those guys posting and figure out what the common thing is here .

could it be the OS / DX8.1   as the common clue ??

I have DX 8.1 verson (4.08.01.0881) on bolth of my pc's

[JB73]

sry all chk my stats....
i've had only 2 discos this tour.... both happened as i clicked on the runway for takeoff.
had 9 last tour but that was 7 from the bomber bug where u locked up killin the last buff in a formation.

guess im just lucky

Earlier I mentioned that I haven't had any DTCs then last night had one after attacking a bomber group, the system locked hard and I had to use the reset button.

Also, I'm currently running 98 SE and this weekend I'm going to be upgrading to 2000.  I'll let you know if the lockups increase.

I had them allot pre patch 4 release.

Last weekend I had none, CTD's seem to be fixed for me with last patch.

Only thing I still have on occasions is total hangup on crashing into the water right at the moment I hit the surface I get a freeze frame, but not always (and that I don't understand). Nothing works anymore in those cases, I have to reboot and restart AH to play again. But this is an old problem that started after the release of 1.08 (for me anyway).
