Ouroboros Crash

I visited Ouroboros this evening and discovered that I crash (locks up the game, which goes to a completely white screen and must be shut down via Task Manager) on the mission listing when I attempt to open the info for more than one mission. Additionally, the contact pictures for all Ouroboros contacts are distorted and "staticky."

I just updated my ATI Radeon HD 5700 to the 2/15/2011 drivers, and tonight was the first time I've been able to play since the last patch (and it's been weeks since I've attempted to start an arc via Ouroboros)... I'm not sure which of the two are contributing to the problem.

I can start an arc in Ouroboros with no problems, but again, I crash if I check the info for one arc and then try to click on another instead.

Is anyone else having similar issues?

This might be the key. There is a large portion of us that are having similar issues with any driver higher than 10.9, but it seems to come and go randomly, only happen on specific toons, or some people don't have the issue at all. If possible, try rolling back to 10.9 and see how it goes.

Just wanted to update this thread and say that I'm now on the 11.3 (3/29/2011) drivers, and that the crash now happens on the third Ouroboros contact I click on, rather than the second.

Whereas the first arc I clicked's contact used to appear distorted, with random pixels across the photo, I now see that on the second arc I click, with the aforementioned crash now happening on the third.

As I mentioned in the other thread, turning off Ultra Mode water options should stop the crashing. Hopefully it will be fixed someday.

Leave for 7 months and come back to ATI issues... growl. Yea, same issue. Installing 11.5s now.


Be well, people of CoH.

No change with 11.5s. Client crashes when clicking on arc to open and read it.

Logged back in, disabled Water FX, lockup did not occur. Chose mission, turned back on Water FX to Full, used Aspect to port to contact.

Ok... The portal does not know where to send me?

That depends what arc you chose. I've noticed that some of the contacts are Broken, especially ones that have changed location/appearance over time. Basically, Ouro is trying to send you to the previous version of the contact, which doesn't exist anymore. For example, Maria Jenkins was broken when her arc/avatar changed. Not sure if it's been fixed yet. It's been a while since I tried.
