Game Crashing to desktop after patch

[Connery]

Topic sums it up pretty much - post patch I just connected and was flying and furballing or whatever and I've had to 2 crash to desktop inside 5 minutes.

I am running window 7 Pro, I have really beefy computer so I doubt it's tech specs on the machine.. game was fine pre patch anyone got any ideas?

Running XP and I have started getting the same issue.  After AH and windows updates.  I only crash when online.  Go figure.

I have had the same problem occur twice within the last week.  I can fly several hours with no issue then suddenly AH freezes (black screen with sound stuck) followed by the fatal error/notify Microsoft message.  Been flying for over a year with my current system, no changes, and not so much as a hiccup till the latest patch.  Both crashes occurred while flying and not firing.  One crash occurred in a ME163 attacking 7 formations of B-24s.  The other crash occurred fighting near two enemy CVs sailing side by side.  Feels like maybe a memory leak.

do HTC Tech Staff read these forums I posted this some time ago and still have no official response.

[The Fugitive]

They do look in, but if you want a quick response, email skuzzy direct.

You may want to download the whole game and reinstall over what you have. It should fix any corrupted files.

You may notice that my crash was involved with ntdll.dll.  I checked and upgraded my sound card drivers and the problem went away.  Check the link below to another topic concerning this same issue.

Same problem here...

Checked for driver updates...  Downloaded & installed AH again...  Nothing.  It might run for 10 minutes or 2, however it always locks up and reboots the machine.  No troubles with any other programs.

I've been goofing around with AH since around 2000 and have always kept my machines ahead of any system requirements.
