Hi to all m8s!
This problem is so widespread that I would like to create a database of our solution to CTD to help other people to solve it. I hope you will like it, my first post.
I had this problem too: after ~15-20 minutes of game, I think after 1.2 Patch I crashed to desktop (and sometimes I had also blue screens). I solved it changing my memory timings.
I have TCCD memory sticks, and these are now my stable timings:
2,5
7
3
3
2
7
14
3
NORMAL (drive strenght)
@ 268Mhz
With those I played about a week without problems.
I made a defrag yesterday, changing also the size of my paging file (setting it to 1536-1536 min.-max.) and after ~45 min. I had a crash to desktop... thinking that could be another possible cause, I resized it to 1024-1536 and played 2 houres without probs.
Solution Summary:
- problem: frequent CTDs\Blue Screens | solution: change memory timings
- problem: rare CTDs | solution: resize paging file
from you guys (always updating):
- problem: frequent CRDs | solution (to make CTDs rarer): increase your RAM amount
...
So people, not it's your turn, explain your solution to your CTD problem (I think many causes can determinate it, many hardware and many linking hardware-software)!
