[Crash] Just after loading a new map/Playing a few minutes in on the new maps

[JuiceToon]

I hope these help you guys!
If not, let me know what you want.
Also includes logs/crashes prior to the patch. But it seems the game is kind of broken for me at the present due to crashes.

I have also been experiencing lower performance than I would expect and even worse performance with the new patch, before the game crashes haha.

Bump for the sake that the thread took nearly a day to be approved

I am having this issue as well. The game will typically crash just after loading a map, consistently on FallenFighters, Barracks, and RedOctoberFactory. I can provide dumps and/or logs if that would help, though it looks as if JuiceToon has already done quite a thorough and excellent job of providing appropriate dumps and information. The game is stable on Apartments and GrainElevator, or at least does not crash nearly as consistently.

JuiceToon, have you observed whether this crash is map-dependent for you?

do you have shadows on 'low' ? if so, change it to medium and try it.

there's a known issue that causes the game to frequently crash for a lot of people if the shadow is set to low.

I was crashing as frequently as you were; until I turned ALL of the settings on lowest; and taken off everything except. 'Light Shafts' & Motion Blur' - I'm unsure what my FPS was on everything switched on 'High/Medium'

In the end my game loaded faster; FPS 62-80 - stuck around 70 the most. I was able to play five barracks; two Grain-Elevators; and then a Red-October game loaded; and it stayed; however Black screen/sound pushed me to finally leave; and rejoin a new map.



zero crashes since; and really. It looks fine even on lowest settings; ps. exact same RIG; except 2-gigs less of ram.

Yes, it's only a problem I have experienced with the 3 new maps/new patch. Could be either the patch itself or the maps themselves or both of them.

P.S. I also fixed the crashing by doing this:
In My Documents/My Games/UnrealEngine3/ROGame/Config I deleted all the files except for ROInput.
I then launched the game and changed my settings that defaulted to the 'high preset' by turning off one thread lag, frame rate smoothing and putting the shadows to low. Without any crashes. Other than the crash that is present when artillery falls while I have been in a tank.

No, my shadows have been set to high since I downloaded the beta.

But, I managed to alleviate the instability by using the config edit suggested in another thread. I don't know enough about Unreal to actually know what changing those variables actually does, but it seemed to help quite a bit.
