Crashing in cave maps


Demon Forge

 

Posted

For the past 2 weeks or so, I've been crashing very frequently.The thing that will always crash CoH is AE cave missions. Some times i can be inside the mission for 30 seconds and crash, sometimes up to 10 minute. This has been happening despite several changes ive made to my system. I've reinstalled windows 7 64 bit, and the biggest improvement was before any updates were applied to W7. I've also got a WinXP Pro32 bit partition on my machine, and the crashes happen in about the same amount of time. Changing the video quality and/or resolution seems to make no difference. I've also tried with 2 different video cards, an nvidia 9500gt, and my onboard ATI hd3200. This seems to make no difference either. Here is COHHelper data taken right after the latest crash.
