yep thats about it
happens kinda more frequently than i care to be comfortable with...hell happened tonight when i sqeezed off my first round in a tiger, bam disco!!!
starting to get afraid of upping any perk rides any more because i might get discoed
-
Yup, me too. tonight in the MA. Hot on a P38, me in D9. Pull tirgger... CTD. Nuff said.
It happened to one of the JBs in the SEA tonight too. I think it was 35. Anyhoo, this seems to be a widespread problem now. Once again, nuff said.
-
I've had that happen as well but only 2 times out of maybe hundreds. One of the CTD's was with a panzr.
I have Mitsu's soundpack moved from AH1.
It happened with patch 6.
-
Just did it offline in a Tempest. 2nd time for me ever. This is on a fresh DL of AHII.
-
This happened to a lot of players in the Friday Squad Ops tonight (in the Special Events Arena), including myself...
-
allways when i push trigger my fps drop under 20 fps
thats not happend before
-
I posted a couple below this one; I think it's caused by the muzzle flare animation. Although; Mitsu might be doin it too.

ohh i know i was there, didnt happen to me, but i kind of expect it in special events now, if you remember in ah1 or at least from my experiances, i used to get discoed in ah1 special events as soon as the field was open and i hit the tower button, guess it was too many of us doing the smae thing at once
-
I was in the FN (friday night) ops when I read about folks CTD when pulling triggers. I was in a val - pulling a trigger wasn't goona help me much...lol
Anyway - later that evening I was in MA and had it happen to me twice. Once in a 110 on the runway pulling a cannon round off -
and the other I beleive in a hurricane.
-
ive had it from both ends....
i fire, CTD
but then i was in DA, fired at a squady, and he CTD'ed instead of me, so it seems to happen both ways
most (i would say ALL, because i dont really fly planes without cannons.....) the time when i CTD its cannon fire
-
seems to be something to do with anytime you hit a button, any button, i was heading out to a spawn point today in my tiger and was getting myself set up when i hit esc to bring up my map, bam disco....
this is happenening way too frequently now, im losing a lot of perk's
what is going on with these disco's high tech:confused:
-
Happened to me once each of the past two nights. Line up for the easy kill, squeeze the trigger and instant desk top.
I've lost 11 aircraft and vehicles to CDTs and FE freezes this tour, about 2/3 of my losses... :mad:
My regards,

Did everyone reporting this CTD i.e. On first triger pull, change arenas before it happened?

hmm i dont remeber it being only when i first logged into the ma.
but on my last encounter in a tiger i had just logged into the ma and upped tiger and drove all the way out to the spawn point before fireing off my first shell and thats a long ways:cool:

Might not be worth anything, but...
Having had the arena switch/CTD hit me last week, I made sure that my squad all completely exited the game before coming into the SEA before squad ops. Then, as soon as we were airborn, I had everyone test fire their guns. We didn't suffer any CTDs.
After Squad Ops, we returned to the MA, and at least one of my guys didn't back all the way out and suffered a CTD at first trigger pull.

that would explain my CTD's when i *change* to CT arena, but normaly no, i go straight to MA, sometimes its the first round i shoot in the 1st plane, sometimes its the 2nd plane, sometimes its the 10th plane, but it WILL happen at least once a day to me :(

The two times it's happened to me were on the first hop after I'd switched from the CT and SEA to the MA.
First time the guys were tellin me about it on VOX so I pulled the trigger and fired a couple of rounds. There was a delay--long enough for me to say "well I'm still....." Klunk! CTD.
Second time was just this past Friday night after the FSO. Left the SEA for the MA. Flew quite a while, lined up on a low Spit, squeezed the trigger--klunk!

Hitech, this has been happening to me as well. Started with patch 6. (not sure if its the patch, but never had this happen prior).
In reference to your question about switching arena's, it just happened to me again, and yes I did just hop out of ma and enter TA. It happened on first pull of trigger, and with a mossie.
IIRC this does seem to happen with me on first pull of trigger after entering an arena (but I am not 100% sure....I will watch for it and report).
cheers,
RTR

Has only happened to me after I switch arenas. In AH1 used to happen when I hit "fly" from the clipboard after a switch, now it happens when I pull the trigger.

No, it happened after playing in the MA for quite a while.
I had a situation where I was in a panzer and pulled the trigger, the screen froze showing the muzzle flash. I had to hard reset my machine.
This has only happened to me 3 times, 2 in plane, 1 in pnzr.
-
happens to me too, pull trigger and boom. not so much here as of late though
-
Just noticed when I got back into MA from SEA..
Haven't had it happen to me since then. Maybe I'll try jumping arenas and see if that causes it to happen again.
-
MA is the only Arena i fly in these days.
First trigger Pull in that plane...But not that session.

I can't recall the circumstances of the first CDT I had, but last night it did occur on my first sortie after leaving the TA.

Hitech... Don't want to toot my own horn here by quoting myself, but...
This happens both offline and online. It has only occured to me only in a D9 in the MA. I rarely switch arenas (only off to SEA every once in a friday). I have had 3 trigger related CTDs in the last week or so. Each time they result in a wierd "collapsing of the screen." Like someone is shutting curtains horizontally on the game.
-
I had one after switching arenas from MA to DA. Other than that, Ive had one while just flying offline. No arena switch.

heres another instance:
last night the 68th and aka's group got together for a little noe mission to the bish 37, there were about 20 or so of us, well we upped from 21 and flew like 4 or 5 sectors east towards 37, half of us in lanc's the other in 110's and a couple goons. well we get to within a sector of target and BAM!!! "lost connection with tcp"
discoed!!!:mad: !!! so i logg back on and say "wtf i just got discoed" and find out that 9 to 10 other player's in our little group also got discoed at the exact same time:confused: ??
don't know what it means? but we were all strait and level useing auto level when it happened, and at about 100 feet off the deck. no one had to push any buttons either.. just discoed a bunch of us in the same sector at the exact same time.. first time for me :eek:
so was this a disco or a cdt?
no message appeared just got shot back to windows and had to reopen ah again
-
Devil: Please don't confuse disco issuses with ctd's.

No. Disco's usually ends up in a message prompted. AH2 closes out only after you click OK. CTD just ends AH2 without warning.
The difference? Disco's are usually not an application error. It could be a number of things including network failure.
CTD's are generally thought of as application error.

thats a CTD because the game crashed...and you ended up at the desktop. i thought it was rather simple really....
and 68th seem to cause alot of this with there NOE lanc/110 raids....i remember defending 2 of your missions and both times CTDing.......
Originally posted by 68DevilM

err reread what he said.... basicaly 90% of the pull trigger then CTD is because the person SWITCHED arenas before playing...

Devil: Your still confusing me, this is why I asked to not mix the issues. In your post you say you got the message "lost connection with tcp", the deal is I don't know of such a message.
There is a host connection lost message box.
There is also a lost UDP switching to TCP message.
If you got either of those it is a Disco. I.E. a communication failure.
So did you get one of those messages?
The resone I asked you not to mix the issues, is the answere to you last question.
Of course we will fix the problem of the CTD's, but It is not an easy task to find the problem , when I havn't been able to reproduce it on my computer. So I look for comonalities between people who have had the CTD's to get an idea where to start looking. When you post an unrelated problem as the same thing, it makes it much more difficult for me to track it down.

im willing to say my CTD's are with CANNON planes only... never had one in a plane without cannons. Unless someone is firing cannons AT me, sometimes that CTD's me (and the guy firing)

as hitech said, your mixing the issue
the lost TCP is when the loading the textures takes too long and the arena (or the game) times you out.......
this thread is about people that pull the tigger and CTD

ur right got off topic
ok back to pull trigger:aok
ps yes this has happens to my self from time to time and fellow pilots:D
