RECORD 10 launcher crashes in a 3 hour session

[PotNoodles]

The bit I don't understand is that some players are saying that they are not getting these crashes, if this is correct wouldn't this then point to it been a hardware problem? Why would some get it and others not?

BTW - I wouldn't have recommended having your head shrunk and I suspect you had that reversed when you figured that you had problems placing the Trackir on your head. Ever thought of giving your computer a kicking?

Lower your resolution a step down. That's what I did and hardly ever get them anymore. I do restart every sortie though. I don't touch the cache. Just restart and direct connect.

My specs

I5 2500
Gtx480 x2 not sli configured
6 gigs ddr3 1600 ram
60 gig ssd with only clod on it
Ch controls all around
Tir 5
32 inch vizio tv @ 1920x1080

All Gfx on high except for aa, using nvidia fxaa


Yeah that my headset just wouldn't adjust small enough lol.

Your machine is good, you need now to find out which are the conditions which lead to increase of the memory size of launcher.exe

I use the Core Temp widget on my screen to watch the development of RAM used.

When flying, I can see the RAM used going up and down.
Under certain conditions however, the amount of RAM will continue to increase.
In my case this happens when I fly above ground and zoom in in order to identify details on the ground, when I fly near bomber formations and zoom in in order to aim better and pieces fall off the bombers.

In general, when the amount of VRAM usage on your GPU is at 99% percent, the more likely it is that the size of launcher.exe will start increasing.

A good solution that worked for me was lowering a lot of ground details grass, shadows etc.
The less ground details you have, the less is to be loaded thus the least "memory usage".

I got used to monitor my RAM usage more often than I monitor my fuel gauge. Watch the RAM size before starting an attack, watch the RAM size before deciding to continue or break off an engagement (I fly Bf109 so I have the luxury to decide when to to stay and when to leave), watch the RAM size in order to decide whether to linger above enemy space or return to base, etc...
It works well and I rarely had a CTD while in action.
Needless to say, after each mission, I quit and restart launcher.exe

I hope this helps while waiting for the patch.

same here. 4 or 5 crashed launcher in 2 ours...

Use MemoryBooter (Rizonesoft), help a lot to eliminate memory leaks

Try this from another thread..

SSAO, Forest, Buildings and Grass will be hammering your GPU.

1900 resolution also steps the problems up considerably- if the linked settings don't make enough improvement try 1680x1050 and let your monitor upscale to native resolution.

Yes we know it shouldn't be that bad but the patch is coming.........

The CTD's and Launcher exe problems are mainly a game optimization problem, but many people with highly optimized systems aren't having the problem. I've never had a CTD or Launcher exe problem, but my system is not only relatively strong, but it's highly optimized, and only used to run COD.

Offliners don't get ctd's as frequently as us onliners, iirc.
