Game freezes constantly

[Waaagh]

Hello, 1C forums.

Following problem: after a short search, I´ve not found this adressed, so I´m not even sure there´s other people who have this problem.

The game freezes after an amount of time, stopping dead in its tracks. It doesn´t respond to any commands, but I can alt-tab normally and kill the launcher via ctrl+alt+del. I have recently installed new drivers for the gfx card and updated COD via steam: neither of those had any effect on the freezes. The more planes, the shorter the amount of time til a freeze, however, this is largely unpredicteable. Sometimes the game freezes shortly after starting a mission, sometimes after 20 minutes, sometimes it doesn´t.

It also freezes no matter what background processes are running.

My rig is the following:

Intel Core2Duo E8400 @ 3ghz per core.
Nvidia 260GTX with latest driver set (DLed Saturday)
4 gigs of DDR2 RAM
3 HDs.
Running WIN XP pro edition.


What other information should I provide so you can adress this problem, 1C

Looking forward to the responses. :>

(And no, I´m not angry anymore, but still very disappointed. Some thing seem to have been fixed now, though, so I´m hopeful that this too will be alleviated soon.)

hi,
you may try your rig running ClOD on Win7 partition..
i read around the forum that XP is causing a lot of problems with this sim (but i may be wrong)

Go to the Steam library and check the integrity of your install. It will check your game and then fix any issues. I doubt if it's this, but it's worth checking.

Also, turn down your settings to low across the board and then test and turn them up incrementally etc.

Good luck!

Unfortunately I do not possess Win7 yet, so I can´t try this. I´m getting it soon, though, to prepare for Arma 3.

Maybe that will fix this, if nothing else does.

Verified the integrity of the cache. Graphics settings seem to be unrelated to this from preliminary testing, but I will try all the options again for a longer duration now.

Any other ideas/fixes?

Help is really appreciated.

I think Win7-64 has a demo mode which runs fine.
