Stability issues recently

After the last issue update I've started to notice crashing up to 5 times a day. The crashes vary- sometimes I'll get the error report screen, other times I'll get a bug where when i zone, the map disappears and I'm falling infinitely through a blue sky. I've even had the game outright disappear. Just... Close itself. All gone.

I was on a team yesterday and several other people had been noticing a huge increase in crashes lately too, I was just wondering if this was an issue effecting a significant amount of players? It can be brought on by literally anything- I'll crash while at the market, on a trial, or loading a zone. It's totally sporadic.

Try the Technical issues and bugs forum - they have a post there about the basic stuff to post for them to help them help you.

Oh yeah, I've been through all of that already. I just posted here because I was wondering if it was an issue effecting a lot of people or not.

I'm in a weird situation - I've a new rig. I've had a few crashes, but can't tell if it's the game build specific or not.

I have had quite a few crashes lately, so many that I was beginning to think my computer was breaking down. The latest (just about 15 mins ago) gave me an error box that said :

= = = =
./piggs/texGui2.pigg: Failed memory allocation
Read failed for file: texture_library/GUI/CREATION/common/Backgrounds/background_skyline_normal.texture
-1

The game ran out of memory and must now exit.
= = = =

My machine is not state of the art, but it is well above the recommended set up for the game, and hasn't really had any trouble with anything else I play.

Just an FYI when I saw this thread on the topic.

For what it's worth, had it happen twice, both times while "switching screens" - once while entering the tailor mode and once while clicking to train.

i've had the game crash several times recently, mostly involving battles with a lot of effects going off at once. It's mostly been a problem on my FF/Rad and very rare on my other alts. However, it hasn't happened the last few times, even running iTrials. What i did was create the macro [/macro GFX "unloadgfx"] and use it a couple times during each mission.

I have had the exact same problems you describe. I have to assume it is on the game-side of things since I never had problems like that before, and nothing with my computer has changed.

I use that command whenever I need to, but I find this problem to be on the game's side like some other people seem to be saying. My computer has been running great, I never have issues with anything else except for COH and I run quite a few other fairly intensive programs.

I've seen this one a couple of times, too. Not sure if it was the exact same error message, but definitely similar. "The game ran out of memory" message has definitely come up for me before, which is odd because I have just under 3 gb of RAM.
