Flyright Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 My brother & I just back to CM after 7 or 8 years, was really enjoying ourselves until game started crashing. This morning installed the changes recommended on Lethaface post. Helped but no cigar. Will try the older drivers. Disappointing as it is really a great game (you all know that) but an even better way to connect with my brother. Will report back results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzleflash1990 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 If you do downgrade pick one before December 2017. What worked for me was simply turning off shaders, its ALT-R . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyright Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Well the rolling back of the driver worked! Played solo, no problem and just completed a small map with my brother on the net, perfect. Thanks to everyone for an absolutely terrific thread. Lots of ideas discussed and good feed back. Worth noting that after I rolled back the driver the custom NVidia profile was reset. I did not update so in the end, at lest in my case, it had no impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Tamson Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Anyone tried 411.63 yet? - came out a couple of days ago. If the problem persists into newer drivers this is going to be a real headache for anyone contemplating a new GTX 2080 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Tamson Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I've found a compromise that works well for me. I have retained a recent Nvidia driver. I switch off shaders in game, which has stopped the crashing. I use the War Movie advanced mod, which enhances the in game Movie mode. I use SweetFX injector to inject SMAA to add anti aliasing (as anti aliasing is disabled by movie mode). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I just want to play the game after being away so long so happy at the moment but you are spot on with the question about the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I just joined the club of crashes after playing a while This under Nvidia 399.24 and GTX 970M. Will update now to 411.63. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the War Movie Advanced mod it looks just as good, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways shaders are essential as the graphics look dull without them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 You can downgrade to the 388.71 driver and see if that makes a difference for you (the link assumes you're using Windows 10 64-bit). If you try it, I suggest performing a 'clean install', which is a checkbox option during the installation process. This should require a reboot during the install/uninstall process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try some things first and then revert to the old one. Has BFC started to pin down the problem and is it likely to be solved in the next patch? I'm worried what an unfixed problem will do to the CMSF2 release. Hopefully there will be an influx of new players and a lot of interest generated. If the first thing these new customers face is to install old drivers, there is a danger of it getting a bad rep. We don't want that. I guess those who have been with the series a long time are more tolerant. Just my 2 cents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I've had some problems with my mouse scrollwheel for quite some time and tried to solve it by turning of energy saving settings in the Device Manager for it. While at it I turned of energy saving settings also for keyboard, USB hubs and whatnot. I have yet to be able to reproduce a crash since doing so. Since the problem with crashes seem to have with mouser/keyboard input this might be a solution? So those having these crashes please try it. Note that it is in the Device Manager and not the "cog wheel"/Settings tab. While thinking of this problem and that some have solved it by turning shaders off, I wonder if a crash can be triggered by letting the game play for some time and then turning shaders on? Furthermore, one bug I have had since FB was released is that some scenarios/saves always start with shaders off despite having them on in the options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that so? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_MonkeyKing Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Possibly fixed in CMSF2. Just played the whole evening with shaders on and no crashes. Still not a large enough sample time for me to be sure sure though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37mm Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 On 8/7/2018 at 9:41 PM, Lethaface said: I have been getting this issue for a while too. A week ago I found a thread on the forum which advised me to change my nvidia profile. It seemed to work at first, but didn't in the end. Yesterday I changed my profile again and specifically changed the 'pre-rendered frames' to '4', texture to 'quality' instead of 'high quality', and made sure MFAA was off. I can't remember who posted the profile, but credits to him. Until my change yesterday I was able to reproduce the crash in the sense that it happened quite often, see below. Since I changed my profile, no more crashes have ocurred. I really tried to make it crash. Faulting application name: CM Black Sea.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x58f8cbd6 Faulting module name: nvoglv32.dll, version: 24.21.13.9882, time stamp: 0x5b5f4df9 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00823f6b Faulting process id: 0x80c Faulting application start time: 0x01d42dcee2fbcffe Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlefront\Combat Mission Black Sea\CM Black Sea.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_52ac7eb8f32780d5\nvoglv32.dll Report Id: ef9feb22-61d5-4495-b7bd-786a6d24df31 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: I have provided some screenshots of my Nvidia profile. System: * I7-7700K (msi z270) * Nvidia GTX 1080 with GSYNC monitor 2560x1440 @165hz (hence no vsync) * 16GB DDR4 * SSD Samsung EVO 960 * 3TB Toshiba SATA for (win10) /users/documents etc (so CMx2 game files are on SATA disk)* Latest NVIDIA Drivers: 398.82 EDIT: I have experienced the crashes both with WEGO and RT. After my latest change I have approx played an hour of RT and 2 hours WEGO. The latter with a lot of alt tabbing, and both with some extensive clicking (except for the scenario loading screen, I left that alone). So far it survived. I wanted to share this before I leave my game for a couple of weeks and forget about the whole issue. In game settings: everything maxed and shadows & shaders on. I'm playing 'Debaltseve Devils' scenario now. Performance feels great, although fps is all over the place from 15 till over 100. I guess because of the GSYNC I don't notice the changes too much. @Schrullenhaft fyi sir . These are pretty similiar to the settings I have on an older system (i5 2400, 1050 Ti)... although I made sure "threaded optimization" was off (I'm still playing around with the "antialasing transparency" settings). My own game settings are now set to "excellent" & I have no fps issues with the foilage anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannschaft Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) All of my currently installed titles (BN, RT, FB, FI, and BS) are crashing after 45-75 minutes of gameplay. They have been crashing for a year now. I've just spent the last 2 days designing a large map. The crash only happens in 3D mode. So in this case the crash was happening as I previewed the 3D terrain. Map was mostly finished and took it for a test quick battle. Crashed before I could finish the battle which is sad because it was very bloody. I just found this post. I'll try shutting off shaders and installing the advanced war movie mod thingy.

QuiGon Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Same problem here. Game crashes after about an hour of gameplay or so. I have this problem since I swapped my Radeon for a Nvidia RTX 2080... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Disabling the Shaders in game (Alt + R) definitely addresses the problem for those that need to use the newer drivers. Since this is a significant graphical feature of the game Jock Tamson's advice is to replace/reproduce (in a slightly different manner) it by: I switch off shaders in game, which has stopped the crashing. I use the War Movie advanced mod, which enhances the in game Movie mode. I use SweetFX injector to inject SMAA to add anti aliasing (as anti aliasing is disabled by movie mode).
