Random crashing?

[Litmus]

This effecting many other people other then me and a couple in my guild? can be quite depressing to drop and meet a 400 que to get back in.

So far I've only had one CTD since head start launch this Sunday, which means about 10-12 hours of gaming or so.
So can't say I personally have felt much instability.

 

[Mauness]

ive had 3 CTD's in 10hours play time, all duing a scenario.

On zoning in to Nordenwatch a few secs ago I got booted back to the Character selection screen and being prompted to accept GOA's CoC.

Still, queues are nice and small today

 

[leviathane]

haven't had any yet myself, touch wood i won't.

Getting CTD from time to time. Reckon it may be the game and Vista 64 dont agree 100%. War certainly seems to block some stuff like Vent when not run as an admin.

I've played a total of 15 hours or so and I've had about 10 CTD's. The CTD's I can live with, it's not that big a deal (at least not until end game rvr) but since CTD equals 30min-2hours waiting time it's making me fucking bitter.

Also running Vista 64.

 

[Javlar]

They could solve it by making characters stay logged in for a minute or two if the game didn't quit through the normal menus i guess. But fat luck on that.

Ouch, sad to see that this isn't sorted out prior to retail launch. Was a clear issue in beta and should have been top priority. Would be interesting to know how many actually ran (or if it was even possible) the client in a debugging environment to help trace down the crashes.

Haven't had any crashes til just now - I died in the tier2 zone and poof, I'm at my desktop.

working 100% for me under Vists Ultimate X64 been playing since the start of open beta and have yet to have the game crash or any problems other than the odd bug in the game like the char sticking in a pose half way through a swing.

 

[legar]

people on the closed beta board are bitching about todays patch and crashes also.

 

[thergador]

crash about 25% when ever i take a flight then after than its a rollay ball ache to get back in if its not stopping at patching screen its nothing happen happening at char selection screen (ie no toons to select from)

 

[rynnor]

Ive had a few crashes to char select and one that took me from a scenario straight to desktop - would be ok if I didnt then have to re-queue

I run Vista x64 and as mentioned above, I've only had 1.
I think the reason might be something else.

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Vista has a broken sound system, I wouldn't blame War for blocking voice comm software, I have to run TS2 and Ventrilo in admin mode too to be able to use it, with every game.

It looks like most of the crashes come from wrong pointer arithmetic (e.g. application trying to access memory it doesn't have allocated/rights to), the OS terminates Warhammer then.

No idea how the CTDs have passed beta, it's not hard to debug from a developer's point of view and with the amount of people having it, internal and public beta teams should have provided reports with stack traces.
