Random Crashes during game

WARMACHiiNE44

Not sure if this is NS2 specific but it does happen during the game so worth a shot trying to get some help. When I'm playing, it seems like the RAM usage on my computer continues to rise until it caps out at 100, which inevitably ends up crashing my computer. Black screen, shuts off, no error. This has happened previously but happens about 15 minutes into my session of this game every time.

If anything else is needed please let me know. There's nothing in the Windows event viewer, just that there was an unexpected shutdown. I notices the Memory leak in Task manage while the game was open. Getting above 2gb Physical mem usage.

Thanks,

Try to use DX9 fullscreen mode only, in the options. Though i doubt it will solve your crashing issue, its the best performance and experience right now.

DX9 Fullscreen is horrid for me. Windowed Mode is way better performing and more flexible on all games i play.

But well i get these random crashes too... last lines "Error: No method OnUpdateRender found!"

IronHorse

@blackpiranha DX9 fullscreen is the only recommended method currently. anything else will yield FPS loss with possible input delay and/or stability issues.
Can you provide your techsupport zip next time you see that error?

this is the same that happens to me , i think Iron Hippo dont need more techsupport.zip

just take it from my topic )

We can use every memory dump and log file from crashes that we can get. Even if the symptoms appear to be the same the cause may not be.

@ i dont think this is your problem goliath? He said he gets no error.. but you get one : "failed to allocate"
@warmachineii44 please send it
