I can launch the game, and play it for a time before it locks up. Sometimes it's like 15 minutes of playing, sometimes hours and hours.. it's completely random.

There is not any particular action that goes along with the freezing, nor is there a set time for it to happen.

When the crash does occur, it freezes the entire computer, and jams the sound & visuals of the game. Ctrl Alt Del has no effect, and my only remedy is to restart the computer.

I was going to include a dump file but there isn't one in My Documents>My Games>Red Orchestra 2>ROgame>Logs ....The only thing files in that folder are 3 files that are like "launch-backup-2012.01.01" but 2 different dates.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you are using onboard sound and only locking up while playing online then it may be the long-running problem with Realtek and Punkbuster. Try playing on a non-Punkbuster enabled server and see if you still crash.

i bought a $30 creative sound card from Best Buy, I tried every driver possible to no avail. But it's $30 well spent now that I can play as long as I want and not freeze my computer.

Also I recommend putting in Tickets to EvenBalance, maybe if enough people complain they'll actually fix it.

I have a creative xfi xtreme soundcard and i have sometimes freezes.
Today happened it when the game starts after a few seconds.

But i can solve the freeze by ctrl alt delete and then choose cancel.
