Lots of crashes in 0.6.0

[Pakarro]

I love to play 0.6.0, the improvements are beauti- and useful.

Unfortunately, I suffer from quite frequent crashing, which is completely new for me. I often crash when crossing between maps, especially near the crossroads to Levrus. Going slow seems to help. Riding fast is worst.

Another frequent crash-time is when I mount by macro (summon, target,mount). Crashes almost every time. Mounting "manually" has never crashed me....

The crashes do not seem to be settings dependent, as far as I see it now. At least between highest and high....

Hope someone can make something of this....

Thanks and good luck!

Suffering a similar experience.

Running 32 bit client on Windows 8.1

CPU: i5-3570K @ 4.6

Ram: 16 GB DDR3

Vid Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB

HD: Samsung SSD 840 Series [250 GB] SATA 6Gb/s

[OS and drivers up to date]

Common crash Triggers.

Zoning, especially into the Arena [ almost every time ]

Macro mounting.

Just being in the Arena.

[Frequently takes two attempts to restart client after a crash]

I have experimented with the settings, makes no difference. Same results whether running 1 client or 4.

Thank you.

Try to alter the background loading option. It will have dis- and advantages in other regards. But check if it helps avoiding crashes.

Reasons of such crashes will be important to know. Often the reason was related to different meshes in different maps, but with exactly the same name. But I hope that the current system tries to ensure unique mesh names.

[Imshi]

Thanks Ligh. Background Loading enabled/disabled was one of the settings I experimented with. I've been through them all, and made a checklist to test in combinations.

That being said, I have been in-game running 2 clients for the last 3 hours without a single crash. Either I'm on a roll, or something has changed behind the scenes.

*keeps fingers firmly crossed.

[modified] Within seconds of posting first crash of the day. Character shooting arrows at Training Dummy in Arena crashes. [That'll teach me to push my luck]

Well, I don't think I crashed more easily than before, but once in the forest junction during Danow's Quest. So it is well possible that there are reasons when the loader gets flooded somehow.

I do get more crashes while crafting.  It seems to happen when the first item completes.   I'll try to watch and see if it only happens when the container is open.

I've been getting a lot of random crashes, also. I use to just crash once-in-awhile at load zones.

Having lots of issues with the launcher crashing.

[Pakarro]

Funny stuff. On my laptop (Asus Zenbook, ivy bridge onboard graphics) no crashes happen. at least while testing.
Doing the same things on desktop (core2 quad, GeForce 9800GT w 512Mb) crashes the game almost reproducible when running the macro (unmount, pet dismmiss).

Hmmmm

The new UPDATE should be picking up on the crash reports now.  Ask your developers if they are working properly so they can be fixed right away.....

In fact, I would like to also know how the crash reports are being sensed when a client crashes? That's what the UPDATE states.

[Adash]

I crashed one time so far........I noticed that CPU usage has increased because my fans are on all the time now when client is running?  this never was the case before. Besides that, the updates seem to work well.

[Eonwind]

Strange I experience a lot less crashes with the new client... have you tried cleaning up the shader-cache?
Using old shader may lead to a lot of random crashes.

Unfortunately the launcher has more crashes than before, seems something related with CS... we're digging ...

[cdmoreland]

Eonwind, the crashes are getting less as I play more. Maybe my computer is getting the hang of it.

The launcher is still giving me fits.

[LigH]

Less crashes with more play? ... Maybe the shader cache is filling with current results?

[Imshi]

I deleted the shadercache early on. When I crash there is no longer a report option, is this still enabled? I reckoned you either had enough data or were being swamped by reports.

I'll check in game to see if any one else can report still.

[BoevenF]

I'm used to delete shadercache every time there's an update. Crashes everywhere for me too. But this is somehow expected because my notebook now barely reach basic specifications.

lowering the settings in graphics section of the launcher down to the minimum made my client less prone to crashes.
