Excuse me Tree_UK, since several months you report your difficulties in running Clod on your machine, may I ask you your machine specs? Many of us (including me) with old rigs enjoy CloD despite the well known issues; you report also single player CDTs so, and I do not doubt about your problems with the game, I'm curious about the performance of your rig compared to similar machines of others among this community.
Cheers

Fair comment mate, these are my system specs, please note all other games run flawless with fully maxed out graphics, I have never had a crash of any sort with any other software or games other than CLOD. Also note before the er Alpha patch I never had a CTD offline, from what I have read here others are now experiecing the same.

There is nothing in your system that could cause such a problem, how is your config file setup?

I will compare with mine when I get home tonight, see if there is anything different. Have you changed any of the general settings or added the processaffinity line anywhere?

There's a whole lot wrong with that file or you didnt paste everything.

Here is mine which is brand new because I deleted all my ini files and turned off cloud sync and did a verify on steam to build new ones before I installed the latest patch.

Tree have you tried a different system. Arent you a system builder>? Or at the least rebuilding your system and maybe trying some different hardware to try narrow down the issue.

Ive just realised I had some windows performance counters stop working in my system from one of the many updates that every software vendor wants to throw at your system these days and I cant for the life of me work out how to fix it and Im a pretty advanced system and registry tweaker & troubleshooter.

Ive tried rebuilding the counters, reinstalling all the .net software and something has just simply screwed some of my windows performance counters. (which I use for some monitoring of various things.)

Tree youve been around PCs long enough to know that sometimes problems dont show up until certain conditions occur which can be very hard to pinpoint sometimes! So even though everything else in your system is working fine, it doesnt mean there cant be something broken somewhere! My system runs everything fine without CTDs but yet my performance counters inexplicably stopped working without any other signs of problems.
