Is it just me or is anyone else having this most anoying problem?
No warning, nothing constant, just when ever it feels like it... CTD
4 times tonight within an hour.
-
Yep! Happened to me for the first time ever tonight.. I also started a post on the AH2 board.
-
ya, it happens 1-2 times in 3-4 hours.
-
HTC might still be working on the switchover from AH1 to AH2. Might be a few connection problems for the first week is my guess.
-
Morph - don't know if this will help, but...
...when I first used my current PC (built Oct. 2003) to play AH1, I got random CTD - sometimes after 5 mins, sometimes after ½ hour. No pattern. It turned out that with my CPU clock settings, the system was being pushed too hard. (I had set up my XP2600 with XP2800 settings by mistake) It could be that your settings are wrong, but that you've got away with it in AH1, but you're not getting away with it in AH2 because of higher demands on your system's resources.
It's worth checking your clock/multiplier settings. See my thread in H/S about this.

Thanks Beet. I went through them yesterday to make sure everything was ok after a power outage. They are all fine, nothings over clocked, as it never has been and everything is looking ok as of right now.
It seems to be ok right now. Maybe with more people loggin in it could get worse? I have a hard time though thinking this is a connect problem. It just doesn't seem that way.
-
I did Once too, it actted the same as the ones that occured becuase of a terrain bug. ON radio upon relogging 3 or 4 also said the were CTD at same time as I was.
Bug forum gone so posted here

Yes, I got two of them myself:mad:
Now before you all start in on what I should check in "MY" system, just stop right there! It's NOT my computer
I have a $3000 gaming rig, that is all this thing is used for, I play games & sims on it. Funny how I can play IL2, Farcry, Q3, Call of Duty, BF1942, GPL, GTR racing {beautiful btw} Max Payne2 {one of my fav's} OFP {the latest} Raven Shield, PlanetSide, H&D2 and a couple more I'm sure, for hours & hours and the only prob I have is a sore wrist or tired back.
I have been an avid gamer for many years, heck I am the founder of TNGG {Tenino Network Gaming Group} we have played, beta tested and even helped develop many different games and sims.
I play these games all the time, belong to many different gaming communities, even have two friends that are working on 1/2Life2 with Valve.
So, yes I tend to get real irratated when there is a problem in a game and the first thing I keep hearing is, you need to adjust this and that, update that driver, check your system.......blah blah blah.
Well it isn't MY system, now don't get me wrong I'm not taking the time out of my busy day to bash HTC or point fingers. They have done a tremendous job with AHII, but from a true sim player the game needs some work, im sure there are some prob's with peoples outdated hardware & software but lets face it, alot of these guys have some nice toys and are being told "you need to check this & that" :rolleyes:
When I need to start making all these "adjustments" on my end just to play a game, one needs to ask themselves, is the game not setup right? or maybe the hassle isn't worth the return?
My 2&1/2 cents.
For those who don't know my specs are:
P4 3.2GHZ @ 800fsb w/Thermalright SP-94 cooling {Latest drivers, no OC}
Abit IC7-Max3 i875p w/latest drivers & bios
1.0GB Corsair XMS DDR3200pro matched set
256MB Radeon 9800Pro XT {no OC} currently using Omega 24.96b driver set {have used them all, even stock drivers}
2- WD 74GB 10,000rpm Raptor drives {no raid}
Audigy2 Platinum {latest drivers}
Pioneer A07-XLB DVD+RW {latest firmare}
Antec 480wt true power
Sony 21" GDM-520 monitor
No floppy

I had a CDT last night. No warning, just got dumped. However, I'm quite sure it does not relate to hardware settings as I flew the beta for months without a single CDT or disco. No doubt in my mind that it relates to the AH2 final release patch.
My regards,
Widewing

2 ctd's thursday within 45 min. friday a.m. i flew 2 hrs np.

My guess is that it has somthing to do with bomber drones and gunners. Been trying to dup it all day.

No bombers or drones in sight during my 6+ CTDs. Not even any DAR bar in the sector for a couple.

I had two CTDs this evening and my squaddies have all had several too on ndisles terrain.
#1: Spawned B17 (with Thunders skin) A16 NE runway. CTD after 5 seconds.
#2: Typhoon rtb, no buttons being pressed at the time. CTD at A18. Only enemy in range was an A6M and LVTs. A squaddie, Overlag, had a CTD at exactly the same time although he was in a totally different part of the terrain.

I had 3 or 4 in an hour and a half tonight. I was in B26s with drones at all times.

I've had 6 CDT's on this computer and 4 on 1 that Moil setup for me :( Its not my systems... I know Hitech is working hard to fix this :aok
P.S. How about some new GV's :D
-
I've never ever had a CTD problem,AH1,or in the beta.
Tonight however,my first full night in AHII,I had 1 CTD,and 1 lost UDP-switching to TCP(with a CTD right after).
Probably the first real test with lotsa people on,I'm sure it will get ironed out.
I was in a Spit V for the CTD,and a 51D for the UDP-then CTD.

I can't help but agree with this guess. I never had a single CTD with any of the beta builds. I've had two since 2.00 came out. But the only difference that really could affect it is the number of "things" in the arena.
Too bad we could not convince 400 people to try the beta when it was beta, we could have been further along in the debug process if they had helped test the arena reather than score-whoring in AH1.

I've only gotten the CTD's since Friday, does not appear to have any rhyme or reason, no similar circumstances, just CTD's. Same for several of my squad. Also one total freeze that required ALT+F4 last night. I've been booted twice as well, Saturday night, with difficulty getting back on. Never issues with anything but a rare boot every once in a while with AH I or the beta for AH II.
Both boots and CTD's were terrible for my squad Saturday, with some either CTD'ing and not ever getting back, and some getting booted several times and not getting back. At least two or three complained of steady CTD's since Friday. Some are simply refusing to fly out of sheer unbearable frustration.
The CO lost several perk rides Saturday night and was very unhappy. I guess he should have stopped flying perk rides.
But then again maybe HTC should score boots and CTD's as landed TEMPORARILY so as not to keep pissing so many off. I do not fly perk rides myself, but I can see where losing perks through no fault of your own but because of problems at HTC would make the game unplayable for some. To tell some who like perk planes to stop flying what they like until such time as HTC solves the problem really isn't fair.
Mind you, I'm not ragging on HTC, far from it. I'm just offering a suggestion to ease some of the pain.

HTC recognised the problem, and fixed it in Patch 1.

No, they didn't. I'm already at patch 2, and had at least two CTD's last night.
-
Watch your Memory Card Usage (^I) and see if it goes up. Once mine hits 90MB I know I'm going to CTD.
It's possible that this memory leak may only affect with ATI graphics cards. I'm sure there are other causes of CTDs.

Your complaint is being dealt with: HTC is applying a fix so that a popup window appears to inform you of an imminent CTD. :D
Sorry to hear you're still getting them. I had two, but none at all yesterday.
