Game is running fast with the new patch but i too realized more ctds.

CTDs or actual reboots?

If the former, check Windows Event Viewer to see what caused the CTD. It'll probably be the Launcher.exe file, and there are a few threads on this topic already, including people with more incidences after the latest patch.

Good luck!

Russkly, i have CTDs (Launcher.exe) I had some with the older patch, yesterday i tried the free flight mission over London. This caused a Launcher.exe

Bugger!

Have you tried all the fixes that came up when the game first went live? Lots of people had Launcher.exe problems (me included), and these fixes seemed to help a lot of people.

I've just had a reboot playing the 6 Hurris vs 6 109s over the Channel QM.

So it's not the landscape or buildings.

Apart from everything on Medium, I got cocky and turned on Shadows ('cos it's a great effect), but I think I might have to try turning this off again.

Still have no idea what is causing this problem, and no-one on this forum has been able to shed any light.

Oh well, new PSU & GPU for me...

Just had one ctd (launcher) today, after a couple of hours flying and buggering on the bad behavour of the controls (stick, mouse and keyboard input). Overall it seems to run a lot smoother in high/very high settings. My problem would be the xfire configuration at the moment that holds back the high smoothness.

Intel Q9550 @ 3.4

2x Rad HD4890OC 1GB xfire

Win7 Ultimate 64bit

I am running a GeForce 570 and an Intel quad core running at 2.83.

The thing that worries me is that the GPU is constantly running at 100%.

This engine is definitely not optimized very well, as the GPU runs at 100% over water while flying one plane with no others around.

I have not tried the most recent Beta patch, from April 15th, however.

Got random reboots too. does not seem to be related to the gpu temperature as last time i went up to 69 ° but crushed at 63°. Could be the case that we're are all NVIDIA users? Me 580GTX latest beta drivers 2.70. will try to revert back to 2.66 drivers.

Could be NVidia cards (or their ForceWare drivers), but then I'd expect many more people to be posting on this thread, since random rebooting's a pretty severe problem.

Maybe it's a PSU issue, because something fairly serious must be happening for the PC to decide it absolutely has to shut down to protect itself.

The "Kernel Power Error 41" I'm getting points to this as well, I think.

What PSUs do we all have?

Mine's not a front-line make but is 720W, so should be (and always has been thus far) robust enough to cope with the demands of my system and the games it runs at high settings (Rise of Flight, Arma 2, Combat Mission Shock Force, etc.).

Interestingly the PSU is rated to 40A @ 5V but only 15A or 17A @12V (depending on DC1 or DC2), whereas the spec. for my GPU (and indeed for the GTX580) states that the PSU should generate 40A on the 12V rail.

I know nothing about electrics, but could that be a possible issue?

Are you using the April 15th beta patch?

@Russkly: I've got 630 W PSU... I think it could be the PSU. I'm now running a test with the windows certified drivers for my NVIDIA and let you know. Do you know about any software that can measure V and A for my ASUS P6T?

@whiplash: No, still on 1.00.13 patch. Will try the new one as soon as it's final
