Crashing randomly while playing

[ghostkyle]

While playing the game solo, or with people my game will freeze up, and will stay at a grey screen and pop a crash window behind it.

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at address 0x0245de58 attempted to read memory at 0x5f5ef079

It says this or something very similar. Nothing really happens in game that seems to cause it, it has happened in the middle of a battle as well as during the no rush time.

You should switch off your electronic devices when flying.

What do you mean?

According to my research team that line maybe a joke. If the hypothesis is correct; the assumption that your were flying a plane while playing FAF, and crashing randomly a lot. The solution is to swith off all electronics while flying to avoid detracting yourself.

As for your actual problem, my R&D team has no solution. Hopefully someone can resolve the situation...

(The sarcasm and joke level is too high on these forums for my likings. I guess I'm too serious).

I thought it was a joke but, sometimes you never know...

go to programdata / faforever / gamedata / and delet lua.nx2

Hey I know the feeling, many people including myself get all these annoying crashes that seem to appear out of nowhere. Unfortunately if you are experiencing issues then you will most likely continue to experience issues. Even if you fix this something else is bound to come up. Everything I have read to fix issues with FAF and FA have been to either A: get a brand spanking new gaming powerhouse whether it be the guts or the whole thing. Or B live with it. Being a 32-bit program limits how much memory it can use, yes they say it has LAA but I can't help but feel like they are lying. If they aren't then FA uses too much memory too quickly period. ( that can cause crashes ). Basically the games engine was poorly optimized and too demanding for many people even with gaming computers. FAF just adds on top of what is already an unstable game. That is why soooo many issues are brought up when it comes to memory. Supcom2 was literally made to be more stable and accessible because of the previous installments technical problems. If someone disagrees with me feel free to correct me. But remember, the point is to help Kyle understand the issues.

Don't do anything I say here until you have read and understood its entirety.

Update: I uninstalled FAF and FA 100% all the files everything. I then reinstalled the steam game and just stuck with its mm and everything else in it. It hasn't had problems since then. FAF could very well be the issue here, I heard there are other ways to get a better version of FAF but I personally do not know how. I think biass ^ might but I don't. Anyway I recommend uninstalling faf and removing all associated files from your computer, and uninstall FA and all associated files from your computer as well. Remember to remove local game data from the Steam version first before you remove those other files manually. you should then be able to do a 100% fresh install of FA. Play the main game alone first to see if its working as intended. If it is FAF was clearly the problem, if not then you may not have enough memory to run the game well enough. I have 8 total gigs of ram and it works with that.

Here is some info to make sure you don't miss any files. If you went with the default paths in the install then this will work for you.

deleted local client for Forged Alliance on Steam
uninstalled forged alliance forever
deleted forged alliance game icon in the game folder
deleted gas powered games folder in the my games folder
deleted forged alliance folder in common files in steam app files

[biass]

this is the other client
