[Crash] computer completly freezes after last content update

[zero13be]

Since the last update my computer is completly freezing after playing for 20-30 min. My screen just freezes and i get some loop sound going like brrrrrr. The only thing i can do hard reset my computer. I have been playing this game since the release and i sometimes got this in some very rare instances, but after the last update i have get this everytime after 20-30 min.


I already tried to reinstal the game, verify cache,... Every driver is up to date and there isnt anything overheating.


specs: win7 64bit
i5 750
ati hd 5870
8gb ram

Did you try deleting the RO2 folder in "my documents" that seems to help some people.

 

[Zetsumei]

do you have crash dumps from when those occasions happen?

 

[zero13be]

no, the game doesnt make any crash dumps for these occasions. My pc just completly freezes with a constant sound coming from my speakers and the only thing i can do is reset my pc.

I've been having the exactly same problem since RO2 was merged with RS a year ago. Complete system freeze up, sounds loop; sometimes it recovers, most often it doesn't.

Since the last update the game also sends me to desktop whenever I engage in melee or short distance combat. It recovers though.

I don`t read if you tried the recommended step to delete the RO2 folder in my documents / my games.

But did you have tried it after you have disabled your firewall??

I've been getting this on and off since the ol' GOTY update for RO2. I can play on some servers for two hours, some servers for fifteen minutes; it really is quite (apparently) random. I have done all the usual business of reinstalling the game, deleting the .ini files in MyDocuments and updating my video drivers.

It got to the point where I didn't play the game for at least two weeks (!!!!) due to worrying about further crashes.


I'm going to try mucking about with on-board sound drivers (or disabling them completely) to see if that does it, otherwise bleh.

Moi Update:

So disabling certain sound drivers didn't have any effect, I tried another solution. I under-clocked (!) my graphics card by a small amount (It was out of the box overclocked to 1.02GHZ rather than 960MHz that the manufacturer sets it to) and I haven't come across a single crash in RO2 or SpecOps: The Line since (this one was a right bugger, crashed in 5 mins).

The going theory is that UE3 is weird and doesn't like me or overclocked graphics cards.

Check your system case if there is dust on your cpu / gpu...

Hmph. So I've been wondering.

I can play on 2FJ server with no troubles, hours on end etc. But within 10 minutes of a second map on 40-1 servers I crash. So is there something server side that could be causing an issue with certain clients?

What mutators do these servers use?

Halp. :L

One is US the other is EU server

PunkBuster can be enabled/disabled on one or the other

Maps you play on this servers can be different and/or damaged on your side

Mutator on server can be different and/or damaged in your cache
