Game sometimes crashes

[Katharsas]

This happens mostly in games with more than 2 players...
So basically every 4th game or so (varies), my Gameplay freezes, i tab out and get the following exception:

Code: Select all

I attached the complete excpetion and game.log. I have checked firewall and port forwarded. This occures very randomly on a Win 8.1 64 bit Steam Supcom FA + FAF.

Also when i tried to post this, i got a "413 Request Entity Too Large" on Submit. Had to copy my text to a new topic.

That's typically the error I always have. In my case, that's because of the sound. Disabling all my speakers (playing with no sound), I don't have a single crash.

If it's the sound issue you could try setting your audio to stereo in windows

By "setting the audio in stereo in windows", do you mean right-click on the speaker and configure the speakers for stereo? That doesn't change anything for me.

Okay thanks, but playing without sound is unacceptable for me. Also it would be hard to test because i would need to play 10 games without sound just to be sure, and even then i could just be lucky and have the game crash at the 11th game. My Souncard input has been set to Stereo ever since, no EAX/GX activated.

I guess i will try reinstalling after the next crash....

Just happened again. Im fed up with destroying everones game.

What are your system specifics? Cpu, motherboard chipset, gpu, os, audio chip...

Just trying to find something common. I have 2 high-end PC that can’t run FA with sound so far.

Just to confirm you are playing in single screen mode? Not Dual Screens?

[Katharsas]

Sorry for not replying. I was so fed up that i reinstalled the game (complete with main game reinstall) and i haven't had a crash since. May be luck though as i haven't played many games since.

I was and am playing in Dual Screen mode. My specs (for anybody having a simialr problem):
CPU: i7-3820 @ 4,4 (2011 X79)
GPU: Asus R9 280
Sound: Asus Xonar Essence ST
OS: Win 8.1 64-bit

I was and am playing in Dual Screen mode.

Unfortunately it's known to be very unstable, especially with certain drivers.
