Multiplayer CTD Server/Object issue?

[SEE]

Here's the evidence so far.


I have never managed more than a few minutes before freeze and LE crash on ATAG. This has repeated in excess of 40 attempts using all the variables that can be changed by the user and carrying out all the recommeded procedures other than I never enabled SSAO.

I have the same CTD problms with this alpha when using Kampfverband13 No2 server.

I have no CTD problms with this alpha when testing on Kampfverband13 No1 server.


One difference I noticed, between the servers that cause problems and the one that doesn't, is that 'clouds' are enabled. Now there are more than likely other differences, possibly scripts, objects, etc.

Suddenly, without doing anything other than enabling SSAO and Shadows, I am able to test the alpha on ATAG without the CTD in the first 5 - 10 minutes that I have been experiencing.

The simple fact is that enabling these Video options has worked for me - whatever the reasons or why is arguable, but that is the evidence. I am now able to log in and try the patch untill the next bug rears its ugly head and I CTD.

There are probably a number of causes for CTD in MP but, enabling SSAO and Shadows, have enabled me to test and use the alpha on ATAG which was impossible before.

The devs made it clear that the CTD bugs are proving difficult to identify and have asked the community to help - there are still going to be CTD's and there are still bugs in the engine that will cause them for sure!
