My soundcard is PCI. My motherboard sound card is disabled from BIOS

This is my log.txt after a crash of Launcher.exe in a MP Canal map. I do not undertand a word but the sentence "System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array." appears twice.

I will try enabling it, I had it disabled as it was said before that the Sim was better disabled

NIC = Network interface card, (la tarjeta de red, si tienes dos prueba a desactivar la que no usas para conectar a internet).Suerte!

OK gracias, but I only have one NIC at my Motherboard.

I tried what you adviced about erasing the folder "Cloffs of Dover" and activating AERO: Still my PC freezes seconds or minutes after respawning in a Multiplayer Canal map, for example SYN Server.

At least, when joining a smaller map as "Islands", I can play for long without freezing.

I am sure this error you have is software related, not hardware.

Could be the script of syndicate is doing something worng, but then a lot of users would have complained.

Next thing I can think of are the c librarys in your system, the net framework.... maybe a reinstall of the game if you dont want to mess with those?

[FAE_Cazador]

Reinstalled files in folder Redist, C, .NET and DirectX, and same. I also tried to reduce Graphics quality to Medium, but the same.

It seems like the size of the map or the objects loaded is too big for my memory, or the memory management CloD makes is very poor. In this case, I do not understand why 4 GB are not enough to run this damm Sim.

[SG1_Lud]

Have you tried to run an offline mission in the channel map?

here you are a link for downloading:

Try with the large one first, and if its ok the huge.

If you can run them, I dont think you have a memory issue.

last resource: reinstall the game. I've seen other people having success with this option

Wish you luck Cazador, I know is a pain the process, but its also hard to me to believe is a memory problem.
