Yeah, I know, I'm a bit embarrassed really but I just know how this whole forum will just explode in whining after the beta patch is released and just one person gets a CTD, OMG it's so predictable it's not even funny.

Join the club!

Oh wait.. for ATAG_Doc I mean bingo!

Just curious Ace, are you saying a memory leak in the code will affect only certain hardware configurations? Memory leaks in software code generally affect 100% of the users. The "1/3rd" of the folks that don't experience CTD's as you say, might have 16gigs of ram and restart their game after every mission. That doesn't mean that their isn't a leak in the code on those 1/3rd, it just means they haven't run the game in one session long enough.

Finally, we need to mention the launcher.exe crashes. This was a very hard issue to address as it wasn't caused by a single 100% reproducible bug, but rather rare combinations of various uncommon events.

It wasn't a single bug that they could just locate and squash with a couple of lines of code but by re-writing the engine and optimizing it they have probably minimized the chance of CTD's to a ridiculously low level. I'm sure someone will still have a CTD or two after the patch but they will most likely be a lot less frequent and a lot less common.

P.S There never was a CTD bug, the whole game engine was the bug.

Yep agreed, Not PC dependent.

All games sometimes CTD, i just hope it goes back to a rare event.

I have no idea how you got that from his post.

That could easily include PC configuration.

Right Furbs! that's what I'm trying to say. I've had CTD's -both often and sometimes just once- in so many other PC games I can't remember them all. CTD's are almost never caused by a single bug, it's as luthier said, a combination of many complex events and that's why it's hard to cure.

In fact, I'd like to tell about a typical example. It's about the game Farcry 2, I used to play that game to bits a couple of years ago and after almost exactly 50 minutes during each session the game crashed, EVERY TIME. The problem was a memory leak that was claimed to be fixed in a patch but never was.

It could yes, but they dont expect people to change thier PC's do they?
They fix the code.

David, i didn't get the CTD online before the last patch, then after i did.

Ace of aces when you see the flash SMILE!!!


hope somebody do this IRL

Sorry, but this is gibberish.
