Random crashes throughout virtually everygame! Please help!

[cmfrip]

Hi,

I have recently upgraded my computer and have moved to windows 8.1 and am getting constant crashes in game... It doesn't appear to crash if only online, but also whilst playing with AI, on my own.

I have just reinstalled supcom from steam and recently installed faf. I have also removed all mods .

Separately, I am finding that I cannot open a map inside the exe lobby, whereas I can find it in the hosting game window... that is another issue altogether...


I cant add Game.log as it's too big, however, the last few things it says at the bottom of the file is this :

and then before that I have noticed this is repeated alot ( infact makes up the majority of the 5MB text file...) :

warning: Error running OnFrame script in CScriptObject at 100442c0: ...ramdata\faforever\gamedata\lua.nx3\lua\maui\text.lua(78): attempt to perform arithmetic on upval `speed' (a nil value)
stack traceback:

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to add. My crashes are odd: It locks all activity, but I can select units , with the UI being completely active...

I can even press f10 and quit... Although Often it comes across in network stats as me missing a packet set whilst previously receiving 2 packet sets - 1 in one...

Almost like the game got lost collecting and counting packets packets, whilst also behaving as if I had disconnected to *someone* in game (with me having to leave for the game to continue).

For reference:

Apart from the map issue was solve by clicking viewing hidden maps 'on' in the options screen


I have reinstalled faf, Supcom and cleared all data and maps and also given that windows 8.1 is constantly complaining about low memory ( page file is system managed and I have tonnes of space) I have turned down effects...

I have not had a crash in the last 5 games

For record, this issue is not solved, though I am getting other issues with Windows 8.1, which I would then lend this to be an issue with using an integrated chipset gfx (which seems to be more than able and has plenty of RAM to use) which could relate to me getting constant complaints from my system about system memory or page file, what ever it requires...

Any ways if any one has a clue what I can do to sort this out, then please drop me a line as I am pretty much avoiding supcom as much as possible as a result.

I play 5 games with about 1 or 2 crashing in total with no correlation between options etc.

For the record, again - I *think I have solved this issue, though will continue this thread if it happens again, although the lengthily games I have played so far have been crash free

IT was to do with a memory leak with my Intel HD integrated Graphics card

also there is mention of it here and I have now installed this update:
