Game Crash

[Toastmaker 10]

Hi guys

Sorry for spamming the forum with my first post but I'm desperate, yeah I know..

My game crashes to desktop at random and I can't find a fix for the problem. I've searched the forum and also browsed through the issue tracker but all that gives me is a Headache.. My OS is windows 7 and the game runs fine except the random crashes..

Anybody here who could give me a quick hint or help?

System specs?

Are you overclocking?

Any addons in use?

Errors in client RPT?

[Toastmaker 10]

No addons, no overclocking nothing.

Dunno if I have errors in Client RPT, where can i check?

System specs: Intel core i3 330M 2.13GHZ 3MB L3 Cache

ati mobility radeon had 5650, up to 2746MB

4GB ram

500GB HD

btw. i checked the topic crash to desktop and put those files in a rar but didn't help that either..

[Tankbuster 1746]

Client RPT is at

C:\Users\#yourusername#\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA

You're playing on a laptop? Oh dear, that doesn't usually end well.

[Toastmaker 10]

funny thing is I cand find the appdata folder by going the c/user/, just doesn't appear in my list. I know it's there cause i can search for files in the folder and find them..

well, now i've searched for the files and found them. How can i open/ check if anythings wrong?

[Tankbuster 1746]

The file is called arma2oa.RPT. Search for that and open it with notepad or any decent text editor. I know it's not easy to tell what's bad in there or what isn't, but something that is causing a CTD might stand out.

Are you monitoring the temps of your machine in any way? Often a CTD is an overheating issue.

You might have to turn on show hidden files or what ever it's called.

[Toastmaker 10]

I have no program for monitoring temperature, you know one? Doesn't show in my task manager. It doesn't feel overheated when i touch the cover.

No outstanding commands in the text that I can see.

The game's running on patch 1.52, don't know if that has anything to say though.

btw it also crashes in the menu, not only when playing. Only have to click on t he campaign button and it goes down sometimes..

[Tankbuster 1746]

Are you sure it's properly crashing and not just minimizing itself?

I use some desktop gadgets to monitor temps. All CPU Meter, combined with coretemp to keep any eye on the CPU and GPUObserver for the graphics card.

[Toastmaker 10]

Yeah I'm sure, sadly enough, cause a windows window pops up stating that there has occured a problem and windows is searching for a solution, which it can't find and eventually wants me to close the program.

It's damn sad cause the little I've tested of the game looks awesome and I really want to fix this bloody issue..

[Tankbuster 1746]

Oh yes, that's a real CTD then.

[Toastmaker 10]

yeah... Right now the game crashes each time i click continue in the campaign overview window; right before the actual game starts.

[hellfire257 3]

Are you using the latest patch?

[Tankbuster 1746]

If it's crashing at exactly the same place in the game, that would seem to suggest a bad install.

Did you look at the RPT file? I would suggest deleting it so that everything you get in there is fresh and then making the game crash. Find the brand new RPT and post it's contents here.

[Toastmaker 10]

I'm using version 1.52.

Now i was able to actually play for 5 minutes until the crash. Well I'll post the RPT in a few minutes.

Eeeek.

Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 01CEC594
graphics: D3D9, Device: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 , Driver:atiumdag.dll 8.14.10.716
resolution: 1135x640x32

There's your problem. Graphics driver crash.

Also, that file reports you're running 1.51, but you say you have 1.52. I think you may have had a failed patch install.

[Toastmaker 10]

huh? how can i fix it then? ^^

[Tankbuster 1746]

I'm not familiar with ATI cards, so I'll leave that to someone else, but you might consider reinstalling the game and patches.

[Toastmaker 10]

ok. I'll try that at least. but thanks so far!

[ProfTournesol 956]

Well, i'm not a specialist either, but the driver crash isn't really enough to find what's going wrong, apart from the GPU having some troubles, because of the game or because of hardware troubles (overheating etc.).

[Toastmaker 10]

hm.. I had a cpu and ram "speedometer" running during the game a couple of times and both never got more then 50% used. For the GPU i don't have any speedometer so it's hard to figure out if that's the cause I guess.. No other tricks I could try?

[callihn 10]

Try uninstalling and reinstalling or upgrading your drivers, if an upgrade is available I would uninstall first, ATI is VERY messy at this but you might get lucky, I didn't and had to search the system after the uninstall for all files related to ATI that did not come with Windows and manually delete them, obviously that's something that nobody will be able to hold your hand for and is not recommended but sometimes we have to do what we have to do. Hopefully you'll be able to fix it without going through that.

There are a couple of programs to chose from that clean the computer of old drivers bits.

DriverCleaner Pro

DriverSweeper

You boot into safe mode and then run one.

Also make sure you have the latest version of DirectX 9

Try disabling the sound card as that can also cause crashes. (just to test)
