medlinke Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I played about 45 minutes yesterday and it was fine, but today I played the first Battle (forget the name) now. As soon as I got to the town and engaged the game got really choppy and I couldn't move my mouse then I got the C++ Runtime error and the game crashed. System Specs: Intel C2D 2.3 GHz 2GB RAM eVGA Nvidia 8600GTS PCIe 26GB free on HDD Windows XP SP3 + all hotfixes and patches DirectX 9c (I just reinstalled 2 days ago because the version that was on there wasn't working with ToW. Nvidia 175.19 Drivers I defrag weekly and use CCleaner to clean out temp files daily. My Anti-virus is update to date (Symantec 8-22-08 last updated). Spybot S&D & AdAware don't turn up anything. When I run DxDiag.exe every tab says "No Problems Found." Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dima Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 If you try to play this battle again does the error still happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medlinke Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 I haven't had a chance just yet, but I definitely will. I have looked around all over the place and it doesn't seems like a common error or one with a specific repeatable cause. It may, I hope, be a flukey thing... I'll keep this thread updated if I find anything else. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 When you do get a chance to run that scenario again to attempt to duplicate the error, write down the exact error message. Do you remember if it specifically mentioned the CMSF executable ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medlinke Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 I know for a fact it did not. The Error was: C++ Runtime Error Your computer has experienced a runtime error. Please contact your software provider for assistance. Or something very close to those lines. The problem is... There is no mention of it in my System, Software, or Application event logs....so I have no way to get more specific information on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medlinke Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Okay so I had another crash. This time, luckily, it was BSOD so there was an event log entry for it that indicated there was a halt in the driver which typically means a video or sound driver. So....I messed around with some settings and made CMSF specific profile for my videocard with the following settings: (NOTE: There are only the settings I changed) Error Reporting: ON Threaded Optimization: Off Triple Buffering: ON Vertical Sync: Force On So far so good. Not only did this address the stability I'm seeing a little smoother animation and, so far, not nearly the amount of screen redrawing that I was seeing previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
