Update on Crashing - Yoshiro

[Kenobi]

We are looking into the issue of updated servers NOT showing up in the browser. For now, connect via IP. Look in the forums for some.

We also strongly suggest those who are crashing on the new build to try turning down their settings. You may be running out of memorry on one of the new maps.

We'll be working hard tomorrow while some of you are enjoying your holiday to try and figure these things out!

As always, we strongly recommend you check out hte performance settings listed Here while we search for why some users are having subpar performance . Keep in mind, the larger player count servers will require stronger hardware to maintain performance. More is going on and more has to be rendered.

Figured it would help...

It does obi-won-kenobi or however it is spelled.

No it doesn't. Number of players and memory are IRRELEVANT.

I have 6gb DDR3 1600mhz RAM AND ALL MY SETTINNGS OFF OR LOW/mid resolution. Crashing on 13/46 server... This doesn't help at all, issue with sound I think.

To me it seems like the new build just made the game worse, I have friends who are crashing every 3 minutes or so, it seems game performance has took a hit and is even crappier. I sure hope they can get all this settled before launch.

I feel the new AMD update/ patch thingy had something to do with this. I dont see why it has anything to do with the maps or any of the gameplay changes. The AMD thing seems like the problem, though I could be wrong.

WRONG< dont post stupid stuff like that unless you can back it up. Besides, if you had IQ above 20 to look at bug report forum youd see nvidia users posting crash dumos of the same problem. Sheesh.

I put all my settings on low and it's still crashing like crazy.

 

[raov.soLucky]

Unfortunately for me, after the new patch i consistently crash within 30 seconds of joining any server, on any map, with any graphical settings

 

[BlackLabel]

beta...ugly stuff is bound to happen..ALLWAYS. Good it happens now instead of when the game really ships

 

[Wodin]

I did notice my memory usage was alot higher then pre patch....possible memory leak going on....

 

[Raquel]

I've crashed twice while on server browser, but none while playing a map, and i used to crash all the time before this update

 

[BigG]

I lag (in fps) everytime I turn a corner, on the old maps I had a very stable performance, now it stutters alot...

 

[Hells High]

What was the AMD thing that installed on first launch? Not one single piece of hardware on my machine is AMD, and ever since the new patch I crash 100% of the time when joining a server.

I know its a beta, I understand that issues will crop up, I am willing to help fix them, however I am somewhat frustrated with the degrading performance of this patch to the last. Still, its what betas are for, finding the horrible bugs that cause crashes 5 minutes into a game. (Note, I played for hours last night, only a few random issues, sound disappearing three times, and a handful of random crashes)

yesterday i didn't crash a single time in a 4-5 hour session with the latest patch (on all new maps). now i'm crashing every 5-10 minutes (on all new maps)...

fyi the only thing i changed was shadows from high to low...

We did some testing earlier on our server and it appears that setting shadows to low cause the ingame crashes

 

[throumbas]

Yesterday I've had crashes on barracks and redfactory, i tried the suggested fix to change shadows from low to medium and ive played those two maps for around 40-50 minutes so far with no crashes. It could possibly crash again but before it would crash within 2 minutes so im hopeful. Its weird that a shadow setting would crash the game though, they should get right on that.
