Title: Program Crashes????
Post by: Bubbajj on November 25, 2011, 07:05:49 PM
Three times in the last two days the game quit running and went to a white screen. Anyone else had this problem? I'd rather it be the network or something instead of having to reload the game. It's run rock solid on this machine since I built it six months ago.

Game "Has stopped working" message popped up once after I alt tabbed out to check something. Otherwise, no problems for me at all.

Locked up on me and wouldn't close...not even with task manager. I had to reboot to get out of it...?  :headscratch:

Skuzzy has said that when you have a crash like that it is possible to get files corrupted. Any crash after that could be because of the first crash. The suggestion is to re-install the game over the game to fix any files that may be corrupted.

Just had a white screen crash 10 seconds after logging into the AvA.  First one in years.

That seems to have worked Fugi. I flew buffs for several sorties (5 to 10) after the reinstall and never had a problem.  :aok

I've had this happen a couple times in the past few weeks. No common denominator, just totally random times.

I had some issues after a windows update.  Drivers didn't quite fit.  Rolled the system back, bypassed a couple of updates till they got debugged, updated again and no issues.

I normally disable auto updates just for that reason.  I update when I have time to test everything out, not when the system wants me to which might be right when I need the system the most.

I don't have any auto updaters on so that's not the issue.

These describe my situation. Just started in the last several weeks as well.

No auto-updates running. Can't find where anything was starting.

The weirdest part for is it's only the game that locks up. After my squadmate leaves I usually start up Winamp and listen to some music. It happens several hours after that but the wierd part is Winamp continues to play but AH is locked, but I can't get out of AH to restart it. I actually have to do a hard shutdown to reboot.

I do not think all of you are having the same problem.......

1st problem posted about:
some of you have reported "White Screen Crashes"  ( sounds like something might be corrupt in the video section ie: skins, cache, video8.cfg, video driver, etc.... )

2nd problem posted about:
some of you have reported that the game has "Froze Up" ( no way to exit, can not hit ctrl alt del to access task manager and shut the game down , etc.... PC needs a hard reboot )

3rd problem posted about:
and some of you have reported "CTD's" ( Crash to desktops ) .........

depending on your particular type of "Game not working" situation, you might want to search/find your situation in the Tech Forum and post your problem there, or if you can not find
your problem in any thread, then start a new thread describing your problem and give your PC details and the top first 1/3rd of your DXDIAG diagnostic test report ( can copy & paste it into your thread )

I am seeing at least 3 independent issues amongst all those who have posted the game is giving you problems......

hope this helps

TC
