Details:

The crash is a hang, and it either occurs on the loading screen after character selection - music/SFX keep going, screen freezes, and cursor turns into the Windows swirly "I'm thinking" one, or if I attempt combat, within 2-3 enemies at most, it hangs, freezing mid-frame, but "non-active" SFX keep running - IE, if I let it stay hung in midfight, I DON'T hear more shooting/punching etc., just the ambient sounds of the particular map. It has also happened twice during non-combat situations, apparently just through time accrued. When the hang hits, Alt-Tab ceases to work; I have to crtl-alt-delete to Task manager and close CoX that way. I did not have this issue on Monday. I did have it on Friday, and I just updated my vidcard drivers today. One friend noted that this sounds like an "active memory" issue - memleak?

I note that the Locale IDs match - honestly not sure what that means, as I'm not a tech guru, but I'm hoping that it's not RAM-related, as this is a fairly new computer.

So, after almost 2 days of complete and utter silence from the "helpful" folks on this forum, I took the nuclear option and reinstalled the game. Result: Managed to have the crash not happen until after a couple of spawns. I've run Windows system repair, I've checked my memory, I've tried other games to see if it's just a CoX thing or not(and it IS just a CoX thing - hell, even Fallout 3 heavily modded runs stable right now), I've done everything I can think of apart from buying a new ******* computer again. before server merge patch: fine. Post server merge patch: try to use the game as a game rather than a graphics-intensive chat program, and crash. Every. Single. Time. Does ANYONE have a clue, a hint, a tip - hell, I'd take a ******* RAINDANCE right now if it'd work.

Have you tried to load the game into "safe mode"? Try lowering your graphics too. Lowering world details, and turn ambient occlusion completly off.

Looks like your reltek audio drivers may be out of date. Check if they have any new ones.

I've also heard that Star Dock can cause some issues. Dock Login Service (DockLoginService) - Stardock Corporation. Disable that service, and if you don't need Steam running while playing, nix it as well.

Give those ideas a shot

Lowering graphics: cranking them to "stick figures and blobs" level doesn't affect it in the slightest.

Steam: I usually do have it killed, as well as EADM and all other bandwidth grabbers. When I made the HijackThis, I'd been in the middle of a grand string of crashes, and flat out didn't bother killing processes every time, primarily due to frustration level.

Will give Safe mode a try, am currently trying to figure out which package I'm supposed to use from Realtek, as they've got 2 available...and no details on either, and will axe Stardock again.

Also, thanks for actually taking the time to try and help.

Updated sound drivers. Safe mode. Cranked graphics to nil, and killed every non-Windows process I could find. End result: back to hanging during character load-in.

 

Posted

1 more thing to check, then I'm outa ideas, if you can look in the, NVIDIA Control Panel --> Manage 3D Settings --> Global Settings, and switch "Power Management Mode" to "Prefer Maximum Performance".
This causes the card to keep full power instead of "throttling down" when switching between between 2d/3d modes. Hope you find a solution.

 

Posted

Any chance you might have a firewall running that's blocking the connections? That's one possible reason for hanging at character select.

 

Posted

Firewall: Windows Firewall is running, but I've put an exception in for CoX - and I never had a problem until the servermerge patch, which AFAIK would not screw with Windows Firewall settings.

Prefer max prformance: No effect.

Have you run http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/

First thing I run to get rid of all the junk on name brand PCs.

Well, the most extreme test would be to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS but that is really the last resort.

I don't have a Dell 560 but perhaps another user here has one or maybe if other users with GT 440s are having issues.

Was the GT 440 card something you installed or did it come with the 560?

(most of us have custom PCs so troubleshooting a name brand PC is like reviewing McDonalds' food for quality)

H: Blaster 50, Defender 50, Tank 50, Scrapper 50, Controller 50, PB 50, WS 50
V: Brute 50, Corruptor 50, MM 50, Dominator 50, Stalker 50, AW 50, AS 50

I don't see an AV program in the HJT log, but I could be overlooking it. What AV program are you running? You may want to set an exception in your AV program for the CoH folder. Microsoft Security Essentials and a few others have had/caused issues with some of the AOE powers and with KB powers so it wouldn't hurt to try it.

The other thing that jumps out at me is the TBPanel entry for controlling your video card. I know that some of the video card tuning apps like EVGA's Precision Tune and other similar programs cause conflicts with the game, so TBPanel may be as well.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Problem found....and ironically, it wasn't anything anyone - including myself - had been looking at. My modem/router was spinning up to a terminal failure - but regular net surfing wasn't pulling enough bandwidth to show issues, whereas CoX WAS, especially during combat. It died early Monday, and was just replaced yesterday(Real Life reared its ugly head, else I'd have reported such at the time). Thanks to all for the attempted help, and yay for massively coincidental timing :/
