FAF hangs in game with frame jitter

Postby nine2 » 07 Feb 2014, 13:29

Hello,

Although sometimes my games complete, it feels like 1 in 5 hang. If anyone could help me work this out that would be amazing, thanks.

There are a couple of different ways it can crash but by far the most common is ...

* im zooming in on something
* suddenly the screen jitters back and forth really quickly between two frames, infinitely. Nothing is actually changing on the map, its just replaying the same two frames over and over. I can no longer see what is going on.
* i can move the mouse
* I think the game is still actually running because as i move the cursor around it makes noises as i hover over buttons.
* i think i've managed to send someone a message before in chat
* if i alt-tab out and back i get a grey-screen instead
* problem always seems to happen when im zoomed in fairly close

Annoyingly FAF was very stable on my old very crappy computer. I went and bought a whole new rig just to play FAF and now its unstable. I suspect it is the video card because a friend of mine gets the same crash and he has a totally different computer but we bought the same video cards.

Video card is AMD R9 200. I'm running on Win8.1, friend is running on Win7. I have seen the bug using catalyst 13.11 and 13.12 (the latest one).

Mods: I am using Hotbuild, Gaz, and domino's Group-Split. I was getting this problem before groupslit was installed.

I wonder if this has anything to do with this bit i found in the logs:

Didn't find anything in forums search. Logs attached.

Thanks!

My second crash of the night is not the same as the above (jitter) crash. In this case it actually crashes out with an exception window:

It happened just as I killed the opponent and in case that's important, another time I crashed was exactly when I died.

There was no replay log but it was #1837338.

The online replay is corrupted but my local one runs fine, with no crash.

Thanks!

It's most likely a problem with your graphic driver.

Thanks, is there any way to resolve that then? I have tried all of the versions of the driver I can, including the new beta driver. I read that rolling back three or four versions could fix it - but that would mean reinstalling OS because that driver doesnt work on win 8.1 :(. I guess I could see if there any DirectX updates

Tonight's crash was a bit different. It just stopped running like it was paused - I could still change orders around. However it never came back and when I tried to quit it was very hard to do, involving killing the process and some creative window swapping.

When I view the replay it does the same thing so this is replicable.

Same problem. Related to drivers/directX.

If you think it's not, we need the replay.

No, I was hoping to skip that ... hotbuild + gaz? I figure they must be stable ... ?
