Hi TWI, when the beta was launch everything was pretty good, I had little crashes, the game ran smooth, FPS was also decent. After the so called 'patch' everything started to work bad. Performance is not great, the game needs optimization. However the worst thing are the crashes, how can I play the beta when every single time I try to join a server game crashes. So please instead of releasing another maps or whatever get this right. I know it's beta but please fixing crashes is a must. Is there any chance this will get fixed before the release of RO 2? which I have no doubt will run without crashes. I know am whining but it's like the only game am playing and the only I will(till release of TOR, wanna check it out). Now days games are just boring no matter the graphics, features or whatever.

Dont set shadows on Low, set it on High. Profit. I'm 99% sure this is the issue. Solved the crashing for me and a ****load of friends.

because its an bug? hence why should be in bug report section, also, TWI said to people getting crashes to post in support section with there dump file.... you will most probably find its your hardware.. or corrupt drivers, as i haven't had a crash yet since beta was started (except when i forced the game to use max settings to see how my hardware would handle it)

try lowering your settings, as you're most probably running out of resources. and make sure you're drivers are UP TO DATE!

sigh.
you did want to help test this game (cos you got the Beta) - so why not be part of it by posting in the right place so they dont have to look far.
cos like i think they might be kinda busy.
what do you think?

Do you have your shadows set to Low? If so, try enabling Dynamic Shadows in the ini file.

C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\ROGame\Config\ROEngine.ini

[System Settings]
DynamicShadows=True


That has resolved the main cause of crashes for many people, myself included.

Set shadows to high and run the game slower than a turtle (20-50fps) or leave shadows on low running the game smooth (60-90fps) but with crashs ? thats the question my dear Watson...

Edit:
PsYcH0_Ch!cKeN , i will try that.

Edit2: Thanks PsYcH0_Ch!cKeN, is not crashing anymore ;)
