Post by: Thunder on March 29, 2001, 07:05:00 PM

I had 2 CTD's in a row.  I asked on channel 1 if anyone else was having the problem, and just about everyone said they were.

2 tonight. one after about 5 min. another after an hour and a half.

 A squaddie had it much worse and re-installed DX. He had DX8a and doing that seemed to cure the problem for him. I'm re-installingloading DX8A now.

I flew over an hour with no problem.  Then I got five CTDs in the next hour.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Well, three were standard CTDs, where one minute I was flying, the next minute--desktop.  The other two were different.  My screen froze, my sound stopped, and the mouse cursor appeared.  I could move the cursor fine, but nothing else worked except reset.

I haven't seen any of this behavior before tonight.

rgr that. I did notice AH loaded slwoer after re-installing DX8a so I deleted the video.cfg file and re-did the video settings. Loaded no faster but the next flight I was not dumped.

I had to log though  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

No ideas left. I cannot duplicate it at all. Wonder if it's connection related?

No problems what-so-ever, had a lot of fun too. Of course at this time Skuzzy was online... good mojo I tell you!

4 CTD in 30 mins - then fine. Significant warping though. Reserving judgement until after people have finished downloading patches.

Didn't play real long but first login after installing patch I got a CTD when I first changed fields. After that flew for about an hour with NP.

Maybe it was the time of day... or lots of guys getting patch?? After I went in after this post I flew solid for 3 hours?? Maybe just the net?

Anybody notice anything that might be associated with the CTD?  Flying a particular plane, getting shot down, heavy furball, weather front, etc?

Pyro,

Logged in after executing the patch. Took me to some field that was away from the action.
Double clicked on a field up by Knight-land.

As I "traveled" I got the CTD.

Restarted AH, logged in, no other problems. Till I lost you in the clouds and you came out behind me.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

That was a major problem.

Pyro I was in a P-51D I was in clear weather and on auto climb. I was heading south and it happened just about the time I was ready to level off and start hunting. I was about 10 min into a grab just before getting to enemy. Three times in Twilight and once after the night had just quit. Nothing more here. I have not ingaged and not a lot of cons or clouds or clutter.

I can't get the freakin D/L to work.  It fails to open the HIRES file and shuts down.  Could that be a part if this too??
Seems reasonable, to me, anyway.

Yes I got 2 disconnects (crash to desk top) after 10 min each once in typhoon and once in A8 the only common thread is that both times I took off in overcast and disconnected soon after I came out of the weather into the clear.

Flew for 5 hours without any problems.. then had one.  CTD.  No enemy in site.

RA.. your 2nd CTD kinda pissed me off.  I woulda rather got a few rounds in ya first (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)  Still got the kill, but it just wasn't the same.

I had 2 CTD within 10 mins of each other tonight. Both times I was flying the 109g10. Earlier in the day, I flew for about an hour with no problems. I have never experienced a CTD in this game before.

I've had a single crash yesterday. I was in an A6M5 climbing to alt towards a weather front. I reached just to the point where the entire area below the clouds had turned darker, when I suddenly was looking at my desktop with RW still open.

Flying a particular plane, getting shot down, heavy furball, weather front, etc?

 Nothing.  Happened near cloud layers and away on the other side of the map. Occured with other aircraft real close and also with none. Occured while using RW and also when not.
 I flew the F6F and both Yak's and it happened with all three.
 It occured when on the primary access as well as the alternate.
 I could not duplicate it at all.  It would just happen. Never had a chance to watch the netstat as there would be no warning. AH would just disappear on me.

No. Most, if not all CTDs, were when there were no other planes (edit: enemy planes, there were sometimes friendly planes around) around, and I wasn't very close to a weather front.  

However, there wasn't a weather front anywhere in the area the first hour when I had no problems.  The second hour, when I had all the CTDs, there was a weather front near the bases I was flying towards.  It looked great, and I could fly in and out of it with no problem, and it didn't appear to me to be the cause of the CTDs.
