[1.31] If your game crashes - Post here

[AlexX52]

*any map
*soviets were always involved when all my crashes occurred, didn't get any crash when played as British without soviets on the map, but I did it only once to test all new vehicles
*just playing, but i have noticed that most of all crashes occurred when I was upgrading my units in the soviet structures (maybe all of them, I dont really remember every crash), last time it happened when i was unlocking antitank gun and sniper, the game crashed when the upgrade should be finished
*I would say 4 out of 5 times when I try to upgrade all my units and 2 out of 5 when only few of them, but I think there were some crashes when I wasnt doing anything

Try to get CoH dmp files, are created when CoH crashes and can be found in User\Application Data\Local\Temp.

Hi,

My game crashes ALL the time, on every map.

This time I was playing Vire River Valley
Germans vs. Soviets
I was playing as the Germans and I was ready to get my 3 panther tanks across the bridge and that's when it happened. I've noticed that the game crashes once the tanks and heavy artillery start getting built.

I've attached both files.

I fixed it!

This is for my friend. Everytime he tries to play his screen starts shaking all over the place. According to him it sounds like the game may be continuing to play nornally while this occurs. When I altered his graphic settings it worked fine. once I left sometime after it started again. His computer has really good equipment but I don't kbow the exact specs. His computer can run almost any game on max settings. He said he tried lowering them even more. This has only been a problem for only a few weeks and he has had the game fully patched for months now. We would both extremely appreciate any ideas because we enjoy playing LAN together. Thanks! I will add any other information I get.

Did he tried to lower the refresh rate of his monitor?

OK, so two of us were normal Germans playing against one Normal Russian in the Lyons map.  The other slot was closed.  I was the server.  The client crashed shortly after start up.

We were unable to pull up a dump: there was nothing in the directory anywhere close to the date and time of the crash.

Even more interesting... the first time we play, the client crashes.  The second time we play - even on the same map - it runs fine!

Can you and your comrades low CoH graphics settings if possible?

Sorry for not getting back to you. He did not. I don't see how that would matter. All of his other games work and EF worked perfectly for awile. It was working fully updated, then we played lan and a week later it just stopped. I'm not sure if he played between those times. I thought it was a video card issue, but that doesnt quite fit either. Thanks.

HA!  The second the client saw that most of his settings were set to ULTRA, we felt the problem was solved.   Indeed, when we tried to reproduce the problem with settings jacked down to LOW, it worked!

Of course, we were always able to play non-Russian enemies in COH with his ULTRA settings, so apparently this version eats up a bit more than Tales of Valor.

Note that it only crashes the FIRST time we play against an AI Russian.  Even with the same scenario, once he restarts the COH process after the crash it works fine.

That's because the second time you try, the game is in the cache memory.

Yep, that's what we suspected.  The auto-detect on the client machine set most stuff to "Ultra".
