As far as i can guess, the CTDs and lockups mainly occur when flying online after about 40 mins, though some have reported them before that and some after more than a hour.

It seems to be a MEM leak error for most. Some people restart CLOD after each online sortie and that seems to stop the crash(that's why i added the bit about restarting CLOD)

Sorry CsThor i wasn't aware of the FMB crash.

Never had a crash in the FMB, I sometimes get one after 60-90 minutes flying if I haven't restarted CoD.
I only have 4 GB ram, but can fly much longer than squadmates with 8-16 Gb ram.

Well thats interesting, I have 16GB of ram and I crash pretty quick 15-20 mins, Obviously all ram as been tested. I will try taking some ram out and test it.

Could it be that CloD is very sloppy when it comes to RAM use? Especially when a lot of it is available?

i have 4 gigs ATM, and i dont have crashes.

but i never play more than 40 mins before i get bored and i mostly play on the online maps, with 2 or 3 squad mates

Thats prob why you dont get them pupo, maybe you could test it. Stay in a online mission for about a hour and see what happens.

Well i've got 16 gb and crash sometimes online when there are a lot of people on the server.
Upgrading from 4 to 16 gb made the game playable for me, before I coudnt even get any futher than get in to a plane and start engine befor a chrash.
Mind you I also did a complete re install of the sim.

Only very rarely have any sort of crash or lockup so voted accordingly, however I do find that when it does crash it resets most of my settings and I have to redo them again which is a pain.

Well I can not say I am suprised that Tree would discuss a private message (PM) in public..

But I am a little suprised that he would go as far as to spin what was said in that PM..

On second thought.. I am not suprised.

As for the old poll..

It is suprising just how many people voted for option #1 that have no or just one post in the forums and how many actully joined that day to vote!

I guess there is nothing like a poll to bring members out of the wood work! ;)

If you mean ghosty ACE, hes a sqd mate of mine who couldn't remember his login details so had to re register to vote.
