Crash at multiple... Let\'s call it \"times\".
« on: December 31, 2010, 02:18:20 AM »
Hi.
I loved CoH but got bored of it and I wanted to give EF a try.
I successfully played a few games in Skirmish (I ended them quite early due to me wanting to change Commander specialization).
However, I'm now unable to play the game what so ever.

The problem is that the game continues to crash.
It started with a completely random crash during a Skirmish while I was having my camera centered on a ally where a motorcycle was getting attacked by a flamethrower (American builder if I recall correctly).
The other crashes are mostly the same.
I tried rebooting my computer but that didn't really solve anything except postponing the crash to the point where I need to "Click any key" part in loading screen from when the game kinda gets "stuck"(Where it slows down a lot during the loading sequence).

At first it crashed during the loading sequence but during 3 attempts to start a skirmish it only sent me back to the Main Menu.

I haven't tried to reinstall the mod but I'm not sure what the problem is and if anyone else got the problem it would be nice if we got to the source of this ;)


Here's some notes on what my System Specs are and where the game is installed:

Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 32 Bit
3gb RAM
450 GTS (Graphic card) 1gb Dx11

Folder:
C:\Program Files\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes\

I can try and find the first dump file but it might be quite hard due to the amount of files in my TEMP folder...

Ok, so I made a quick check through the TEMP files and this seems to be the most.. correct.. one ;)

Btw, I added Bugsplat in case it was relevant to the... "Investigation" :P

Try lowering your settings, set them on medium or low.
Mors Indecepta

Might controls everything, and without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself...

I lowered few of the graphics but the major change I did was to lower the Terrain and Texture a lot.

I have been playing a skirmish for about 1.5-2 hours now and now problem what so ever (Except a few FPS drops every now and then but I doubt that's the mod's problem ;))
