And now, a show stopper, for me anyway...

15 minutes Feathered?

That's barely enough time to get warmed up and half way to altitude for a combat patrol.

And yes, 335th_GRAthos, my experience with time vs. number of aircraft or explosions is just as you say. Three of us Pigs can patrol for an entire fuel load in the Hurricane and have no problems at all if we see no enemy aircraft or maybe one or two and have a successful attack. However, if there is a large flight of bombers with human escorts and things get heated and flak is bursting all over and bits of aircraft and parachutes are filling the sky, well, you know what happens.

S!

Noted the same. Flew all day on ATAG and gradually the performance deteriorated, noted in more stutter accompanied with lowering FPS, until the game crashed to launcher.exe. If not much action there is no problem at all..or it takes longer to crash if at all.

Thank you Sokol and Kongo-Otto for the links, it seems that I will have to try this tool...

Something concerned me though, reading the descriptions in the article, this is for moving from 2Gb to 4Gb RAM access.

But our launcher.exe is consistenly over 3Gb when it crashes...

So, what we need is a program that will give our launcher from 4Gb to 6Gb or so.

(Not sure that my logic is correct)

Another thing to try is to marginally lower your graphics cards clock speed. I tried this a couple of days ago (following a post suggesting it) and so far I have not had one CTD in all the situations where previously I could have guaranteed one.

Having lowered to 740Mhz from stock 780 I edged it back up and its currently running stable at 770.

This CTD thing is affecting a lot of players and it does need sorting. Nothing else I run causes me any problems so I'm pretty confident its a game related issue.

16Gb DDR3
GTX570
500Gb Hybrid HD

Thanks for the point Scott, I would doubt it though because the CTD we are discussing is predictable and can be easily monitored by looking at the usage of computer RAM.

It is therefore more likely a computer RAM issue ("mmory leak") than a Graphics card clock speed issue.

..most probably...

Read the thread in the multiplayer forum, about the JG27 campaign we are currently flying. People were getting .exe after 15 minutes, I lasted an hour. They had 8-16GB ram, I have 4GB...
It seems totally random.

I only have 4 gig Ram and have played on mp servers for 1 1/2hrs plus with no problem.
could it be this is mostly effecting ppl with MORE than 4 gig ram ?

Also when playing Arma2 you can flush your ram in game ( its left control - on keypad type "flush" if i remember correctly) is this a posibility in Clod

It absolutely beggars belief that stuff like this is still going on. How long ago was this game released?!
