BETA PATCH v1.06.17582--Bug thread

[macro]

i noticed in my event viewer that the launcher crash was something to do with .net framework and this was written in my log file:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

plus a load of numbers and lettersafther this. i got one of these after each crash.

i looked up the meaning of this and from what i understood this error is when the code tries to use a setting that is set to 0 or "null" and cant handle it. so i decided to turn all of the video options in graphics settings on. just flew my first sortie that lasted over 20 mins (ran outa ammo with vulchers at manston). and second that was 40 mins, would have lasted longer but 109 got me over france. i have no idea if the log file error was to do with the graphics settings lol!

the settings i had to change were:

SSAO to ON
V Sync to ON
Grass to ON
shadows to ON

I have left anti aliasing off but all other settings are on (at least on low for each, some medium, but the above were the only ones i changed as they were off entirely)

my fps took a bit of a hit but its playable.

i think there is a problem with not having one of the above not turned on, at least for me. i will test each one tomorrow to see which was causing the problem for me.

I have atleast 2 of those turned off, but if it works for you it works for you

Brilliant finding macro! Setting VSync to ON eliminated stutter for me (0.5-1 s freezes), and I didn't have CTDs for an hour or more. All the other options were on already, except for SSAO which I disabled for the test.




Cheers!

i think you're on to something! from the moment i enabled SSAO and VSync i had no more crashes! been having them all time, never reaching the 30min mark. this should be shared with everyone, just in case
