Do any of these have to do with running City on a dual-monitor setup using ATI cards?

I'm not aware of any crashes related to this. Have you posted in the Technical Help forum?

It's a memory leak that showed up with I17 or was exacerbated with Ultra Mode. Disabling your second monitor helps plug the leak. Otherwise the game starts taking up resources at a rate of about 300KB/second. Eventually it maxes out and crashes either to an error report dialog or just to desktop. Arbiter Kim had a thread up about it a while ago but I haven't seen any redname activity on it in a long time.

Oh is THAT what's happening? I knew it was ATI related, but I wasn't sure what, precisely.

I get round 'bout an hour, then *boom*. Restart, and play again.

I'm hoping it fixes some issues with the mac client. Right now the mac client has a sinkhole-sized memory leak in it somewhere, and on occasion the game will just... disappear. I crash like this 9-10 times a day.

How about you guys fix the DS-MM´s Pet´s speech-bug?
I can´t do more than telling you here and in game via /bug.
The whole "Hero.gender male" thing sucks.

Crazy thought, but you could post that in the bug forum as opposed to the test server forum?

Already did this...some time ago.
But maybe I´ll do it again, just to remind them that they again forgot to fix it.

Is it just me or has anyone noticed a slight performance increase (FPS wise) since the latest patch to live?

Nos482 · 07-17-2010 02:34 AM

Nope, at least not on our yesterday ITF...in fact it seemed to be worse.
But then again... it´s calld Lag-Valley for a reason. Theres pretty much no way to see any changes there but taking the time of each frame manually

I upgraded late last week to the ATI 10.6 drivers (Raedon HD 57xx card). Since then, I've played several hours without crashing - close to 4 one day, 3 another, 2 1/2 a third.

It would appear that, between these drivers and the recent update, the crashing bug seems to have stopped.
