Re: the beta patch, people are talking that turning SSAO on would get rid of the
CTDs.

[Oberon]

Shall we (We being Dowly, Hunter, Herr B and myself) go to the beta patch then? I mean, I only fly CLOD online and since ATAG1 which is the fastest and most full server has moved to the beta patch, do you think we should follow?

[HunterICX]

I'm game if I know where to get it and how to roll back if it doesn't work for me.

You can roll-back to the stable version simply by verifying the files on Steam.

JSGME might work too, but I rather use Steam.

Few things about the patch and the CTDs that I've gathered:
- Clearing CloD's cache before running the game helps for some
- SSAO = on helps for some

Tho, keep in mind that eventho the thread title says it's Beta, it is indeed an
alpha patch, so except it to be wonky in worst case scenario.

Thanks will get on it as soon as I'm back home.

Just turned 'puter on to do it...

It may be a while before I install though.

I do like this little note in the beta release notes:

Told AI pilots not to commit ritual suicide when their leader crash-lands;

Least there's some humour in there.

^ Hehe, gave me a chuckle.

Aaand my custom skin, nothing fancy.

The game has greatly improved for me.

It now doesn't get past the little aircraft in gunsights loading screen...

Re-validating files and will try reapplying the thing...

Validate the files, clear the CloD cache and apply patch. Also, if you have any
custom .dll's in the CloD folder remove them too.

Validate files - done
Cache cleared - done
Custom.dlls removed - None there that I could see
Extracted files to seperate folder and then copied across to CloD folder - done
Start in window mode - done

Result... FAIL

Most likely problem is you are using DirectX9 not DirectX10. In conf.ini under the [Window] section there is a value to change. It must read Render=D3D10_0 or else you'll get the crash before even getting to the Ubi video intro.

It might help to make sure you update your DirectX to 11 and make sure you have the latest video drivers for your card.
