Miss Shamble

I haven't done a total clean, but I have installed the newest drivers. And as for the computer upgrade, it's a foggy maybe.

So, I tried exiting the launcher like you recommended, and it didn't really help. It crashed about 15 minutes into the game. However, this time it did say that the display driver had stopped working and had to restart as well as the usual windows telling me that the game had stopped responding.

Really? I haven't tried that yet. I'll try that and see how it works, then post my results. Thanks!

Okay, so I've been bugged to death to be more specific. (Silly I think, but nevertheless...)

The crash happens usually between 15-25 minutes after I have logged into the game. It usually happens when I am in an instance, but has also happened when I am traveling between missions or I am just standing around on the main maps. I start to lag more and then the screen goes black, and then eventually Windows tells me that the game has stopped responding and closes the game and takes me back to the desktop.

So far, I have tried updating my drivers, reinstalling the game, a hotfix I found, forcing the .piggs files to redownload, minimizing my graphic settings, and disabling the rewards icon. Nothing has worked so far and any help would be appreciated.

I do not have the HijackThis info as my computer refuses to let me run it as administrator and let me get the proper info.

I have been having a lot pf problems since I've started playing CoH again with crashing. I have tried a lot of different methods to try to fix my issue, and I've figured out that it seems to be memory leak. Is anyone else having this issue, and if so, is there a way to fix it?

Thanks!
