S!

So basically adding shadows and ambient occlusion helps against CTD? Strange indeed as those settings usually have a very big hit in FPS, but not so much now..

There is probably a simple answer for anyone here, but most just leave everything on max and complain of the ctd, never looking for the possible cure on their own rig.

Well it seems to have worked so far for me! I have never run SSAO, because of the fps hit, but turning it on has not made much difference for me fps wise, but I didn't get a leauncher exe, and it was very playable on ATAG.

My wingman and I just flew for 2 hours on ATAG in peak time with no CTD, muliple flights and fights...

Slip ball, I have tried more variables to cure my rapid LE crashes on ATAG than I care to count. I never tried SSAO simply because of the performance hit it might cause.

In my opening post I also mentioned that this problem on my rig was server dependent - no problems with my settings when Low, Med or high in SP or some other servers - only ATAG and Kampverband13 No2 caused rapid CTD.

If I disable shadows and enable SSAO I get LE crash within 10 minutes.

Enabling both has little impact on my FPS but as to why enabling both works is very contentious and it doesn't make sense to me either -especially since I only have to enable these for two particular servers.

Yes I think it's good that you experiment...as a result you can fly and have fun.

EDIT - too many variables/anomalies so have deleted what seems unique to my system or install but still think that
these rapid CTD's are a cloud rendering problem for some systems and that SSAO + Shadows is somehow compensating for them.

I turned on SSAO and changed textures to Original and I have not had a CTD since, I have had over 4 hours of flying since the change. I was getting them every 20 to 60 minutes before.

I know you guys have told the Devs about this, hopefully they can use this information to kill the CTD bug.

Easy test for me, as i get a CTD after 10 mins in SP. Will test and report back.

New hotfix...

44 mins of flight. Flew for a simular time frame earlier... 3 or 4 of us... Seems good.
