ARRG!

As for me : the more player on the server the more CTD i have. Past 30 players and CTD occurres more frequently. Under 30 players game is running fine for an 1hr30min.

I saw your chat then you disappeared, about 25 minutes later I went through a period of heavy stutters, mini freezes, etc and expected a CTD. It didn't happen but performance wasn't as good afterwards.

I lowered some video settings in case my CPU was bottlenecking and got a CTD about 25 minutes into the mission. Annoying, because it seems so promising.

I am going to try the Kampverband13 No 1 server again with my normal settings as that seems to work fine, hopefully there will be a few players on it.

Hi,

I can identify no pattern to the Launcher crashes I am experiencing. I assume 'CTD' is short-hand for Launcher crash?

I have a decent system and frame rates are not an issue. I run the game with everything on very high/maximum settings and I turn off filtering and increase quality. I have always had SSAO on, 8xAA and have used injected FXAA before the beta Nvidia drivers included the option.

I have experienced Launcher crashes both on and off-line. I've had around eight hours of playing the game with no Launcher crash and I've had crashes within minutes. Last night several (seven or more) of us flew in close proximity together for an hour or so without problems then three of us jumped into one JU88 as we were shot down and all had a Launcher crash, coinciding with the third person to join. I wish we had the time and energy to try and recreate this crash but there are so many variables and it was late.

I hope the SSAO setting does improve the situation for some as it could point the developers towards one of the causes but it does not prevent Launcher crashes in my case.

Cheers,

Septic.

CTD = Crash To Desktop aka the game crashes, leaving you suddenly staring at your desktop wallpaper.

I was discussing this issue last night and we came to the conclusion you have to set the software to your hardware for the best results. Like the AA in game should be the same as your card is set too, desktop res, etc etc...

Its sad to hear about the CTD's. I have not had one yet... Although the game is deffinatley smoother..

For me, turning on SSOA and shadows have almost eliminated CTD's.

I only play online, and i would get CTD ALL THE TIME with the alpha patch.
I don't think i've played longer than 15 minutes on the alpha patch without a CTD.

After turning on SSOA and shadows, i've now played for two hours before my first crash.

Tried this last night, after making sure my AA was the same in game as in my ATI Control centre, set my video sttings according to this thread and I went from CTD every 10-15 minutes (since patch) on ATAG to almost two hours on ATAG last night without a crash

plus the games looks lush with these settings..bizarre
