Constant Crashes

[Ziggy]

I've been tolerant of the crashes the past week, but It's starting to be a real pain now.

For me, Men of War crashes at almost random times. If I go through the menus too fast or do things ingame too fast, the game will freeze my computer and cause me to restart it.

I've tried setting the priority of the game to the highest and closing every program except for the game but it still freezes up. I read somewhere that it's something to do with the copy protection in the exe and tried using a nocd exe, still crashes.

I'm running the game with all of my settings on maximum.

Computer specs:

CPU: Intel Core2 Quad
RAM: 3 gigs
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285
Running Windows XP

Please help with this, I want to be able to play a full game without crashing.

lol It seemed a cp or resolution problem but for me it still locks up from time to time though much less frequent now thankfully. It's a problem with the game obviously but it's any ones guess atm as to a exact cause..my guess is bad coding...

Well, as far as I know, lockups will be fixed in the upcoming patch. Will try to check this and inform you asap.

Any news on that patch? Six months have passed since the last post, and no new patches this far, while my MoW awaits to be played in my HD.

The patch should arrive after the Russian new year. So I would not look for it till some time after the 20th of Jan.

That's what i've heard, but i expected it to be ready this week, or perhaps the next one. Thanks for your reply anyway. I hope the upcoming patch fixes those annoying freezes...



EDIT: Well, in case any is experiencing the same problem, i've found that the solution in the following post does the trick:

Bloom turned off and no more freezes this far. It's a good way around until the promised patch arrives.

How's the patch going? What is the latest version of Men of War anyway? Mine says 1.20 something. It still crashed constantly almost exactly like the person that is having the same problem here.

Check this: I have a Nvidia Geforce 7600 GT (512mb I believe) graphics card, AMD Athlon 62 X2 Duel Core 4200+ 2.21 GHz processor, and 2 GB of RAM. I'm running Windows XP SP3 and I have just recently updated my video card drivers from Nvidia's website.

Remember, I bought my copy of Men of War from Steam. Is this going to say 'Game not found'?
