Crash to Desktop

fastfed · 08-23-10, 01:13 PM

Every 5-20 minutes it will just crash to desktop with no message or anything.. just all of a sudden, My desktop..

Is there a fix for this? Or a common issue?

Terribly sorry to ask, Is this whilst playing sh5? thank you.

Yes.. While playing.. within 5-20 minutes, it will just crash.. Not pressing anything in particular, I could just be on the bridge, in the captains bed

My humble appoligies, but have since observed you opened another new thread about sh5, one can rule out my original question on this thread. Simply to keep the ravenous mob at check. Arclight is a good fellow to help with pc issues.

Also if it is hardware related the pc issues room.

You rang, m'lord?

First guess; heat related and/or give the HD a good defrag. Heat seems most likely.

*any error report, or just "disappears"?

list your computer specs as it is very likely your reaching the memory limits of your system as the game saves data as you play and when it runs out of space to save data it is causing the crashes

The reason I ask if there is a fix or something, is because my limited search, found a couple people saying "I fixed the CTD issue"
and also I saw some people posting their "mods" and they as well have a mod that says CTD fix. Or is this some sub term I am unaware of?

I had this game from day one, played for about 20 or so hours worth (Maybe more) never had one issue.

Since last week or so, I put the DVD back in and started to play, of course with the new patch and some new (basic and very popular) mods.

and now I am getting this CTD issue.. So is this a common thing or a very UNcommon thing?

As for the list of my computer? Here ya go, its nothing special but it plays this game just fine, actually play Crysis at pretty high res too.
