Thanks in advance |
If having problems getting tech support then have them send your ticket to Cody. He is the one watching this problem. And I would recommend that to anyone having this problem.
The more accounts they can watch with this problem then hopfully the faster they can fix the problem.

Dev's With all the Great new content, Please!! dont forget to fix the bugs with the old content. There is a storm a brewing because they are not getting fixed. If its a problem that no one is reporting them? Well Maybe you need to look at your tech support then..
I have had no issues with Lambda (other than my normal once or twice a night driver crash), but BaF blue screened me twice on one run. This was just last night.
That is the first time I've seen the BS in years on my own box. When I came back from the second crash, several others had dropped, too - I feel safe saying this is a BaF issue...
I wish I knew what the problem was, but it's making me crazy. I crash a lot now. when I look in the task manager, CoH is using 1.3 GB of ram when it happens, and the stupid launcher is chewing up an additional 400 meg doing absolutely nothing.
Between the crashes, and zoning only to fall forever, I'm getting annoyed. In all my time here, I've never had issues like this.

You can shutdown the launcher when you are running City Of Heroes. There is option in settings of the launcher for that.

Did that. Game still crashes. I had to change the settings back so that it stays on in the background. That way I don't have to start the launcher and then the game again when the inevitable happens.
The question I have is why the heck has the memory leak gotten so bad?
using /unloadgfx isn't cutting it either.

It's happening to me too.. since the update only. Not just for trials.. anywhere and everywhere. I've turned down settings, scanned, defragged, shut down, rebooted, everything. My machine is a brand new alienware, solid state drive, 8 gigs of ram running windows 7.
Getting pretty discouraged. Been playing CoX since the beginning.. 
I know a bunch of you don't want to hear this but give the devs a bit of time. A week is a ridiculously short amount of time for turning out major game-crashing bugfixes.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

It is being worked on trust me im testing my *** off to get them data.
Right now i am in safe mode to run the new content. And while i cant say this fixes the errors and that, I do aleast get through the BAF (thats what im testing for them) and if i do error then atleast i can join back up now. Cant do that in normal mode.
try Safe mode then try for a few Trials. Keep track of where/when it errored. and keep using the one ticket to update information.
Also I said it once but Keep the problem on one ticket and make sure they move it up to Cody. Its the best we can do right now.
Ill try to do it without the launcher in the background and see if that helps. who knows it might be a mem leak from the launcher on top of the mem leak that is already there.

Broomhilda, you are my hero!
But I still crashed again after today's update. Hope they can narrow down the problem. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, just communicating the issue. I, too have been on the side of getting a game out, patches, troubleshooting, deadlines etc.. Process of elimination is the best way to find it.. working backwards. True it's huge in this case.. :P
Ok, well here's some possibly relevant news..
My crashing was on my Alienware Windows 7 machine.
I booted up my old Macbook Pro and ran the Cov client on the Mac side. Did not use the NCSoft Launcher. Ran the game for a couple of hours, did a long mission, went afk a few times and no crashy crashy. (just the typical little chunk from time to time that you get in Cov on a Mac.)
