Try restarting your computer if you haven't. I had the same issue but restarted and got the patch to download.

Near the end though I tried to reinstall again and it would blue screen before it finished going through the process (at this point I was getting fracturing and blue lines on my boot screen, so I knew the gfx card was toast). Once I replaced it it kept giving me load errors, but I went through the reinstall process yet again and it went through fine. (Booted from Windows 7 CD).Originally Posted by Rial_Vestro
I got the blue screen of death too but it was shorting after i18. I don't think it had anything to do with the game though. But I haven't been able to get my computer working again ever sense.
I'm on my lap top right now but it's not built for gaming. I use it as a work computer. To play the game I've been going to use my Dad's computer when he goes to work so my gaming times for like the last 2 months has been Mon-Fri after 2 pm PST.
Anyway, my dad's computer is better than mine anyway and he said he's getting a new computer soon and giving me his old one. Hopefully that will be happening this weekend.
Anyway, how did you even get your computer restored after the BSOD? Mine won't even start up anymore after having it. It gets to a certain point and then reboots or goes back to the blue screen before it's even all the way on. We've tried everything we can think of to fix it and looked online for ways to fix it and nothing works. Replaced the hard drive, replaced the memory sticks, reinstalled windows, still get the same results.
Also something that helped me get past the blue screens was going into safe mode and cleaning the graphics driver out completely. I also found that I could get through (this was late in the game) by taking out of gfx card entirely and running from the on-board video.
I'm not sure exactly what your issue is - it could be SO MANY things, which is what I was worried about. -
Just want to give an update - it was my video card. I guess the updated drivers pushed it over the edge somehow. The new 460 works well, I did have one glitch in-game though that made me crash to the desktop, but otherwise working well.

Are people blue screening like myself? I just made a post - hopefully there is some clarification if it's the game or my hardware. But with this many people... I'm starting to think I should try another game

I've been having the same problem with my 9800GT since downloading i19 and the 260.99 drivers. Are those the drivers you have? I've tried everything, even a clean install back to my previous drivers that have been working for months with no issues and it still keeps happening. I've even gone so far as ordering a new gfx card (460 GTX).

So I am pretty computer savvy I think. But I just can't figure this out. When i19 came out I had a note on my login screen to update my drivers for my 9800GT card. So I did, from 197.13 to 260.99. Two days later my screen freezes at WW and I'm forced to do a hard restart. A day later it happens again and my computer goes to the BSOD. This happens repeatedly and I eventually have to restore back to 2 days prior. I attempted to get rid of the drivers but for some reason it wouldn't let me, and with Drive Sweeper it wouldn't even boot to Safe Mode (thus the restore).
I eventually did a clean install of Windows 7 and wiped everything. I went back to my previous drivers which had been working perfectly fine until I updated with i19. But I still keep crashing and getting a variety of blue screen messages. IRQL, Memory, Page_Fault or just a black screen sometimes. It's only when I try to play COH though, although I have not yet tested another game. I ran Memtest to see if it was my ram, but after 20 minutes at 100% it came back with no errors.
I've read a few threads here about others having issues, but do you think this is a game issue or my hardware? The blue screens worry me, but I was having 0 problems before i19. Just a coincidence?
I have an Alienware Area-51 7500

9800GT
Intel Core 2 Duo e8400

Thanks.
