Game crashes when I crash a car


Recommended Posts

chickenmadness

is anyone else having this issue? My game loads fine, but whenever i get in a car and bump, nudge or crash into another car it hangs, then crashes to the desktop. No error message, nada.

 

I thought it was a video card issue, but i bought a new video card and i get the same problem. Same thing happens at high, medium or low graphics settings.

 

Installed .NET 3.5, latest nvidia (beta) drivers (180.85). No difference

 

my pc:

 

Intel quad core 2.4ghz

4 gig ram

nvidia geforce 9800gt 1028 mb ram

vista x64 SP1

 

Any thoughts?

Well, be thankful, you have a very challenging version of the game!

 

Try to finish it without crashing! o/

Kind of realistic don't you think. When you crash, you die and you have to start over again. Like in real life...oh wait, in real life you don't get a second chance after death. Oh well, that's why it's a game.

 

Oh btw, I don't know a solution to your problem.

dont forget the new non-beta 181.20 drivers

Did you upgrade your PC recently? Are all of your drivers and stuff, including mobo drivers, up to date?

 

I ask because I had hella f*cked up issues in the beginning, I don't know what I did to fix it, it didn't always crash my game, sometimes it locked my whole PC, sometimes it rebooted, there was a lot going on, but it was on my end because I had recently upgraded a few components and some old stuff slipped by and was causing me grief. Not sure whether it was old sound stuff, old nvidia stuff, my chipset, IRQ conflicts, I really don't know, I just took it as time to "fine tooth" my machine, and went the extra mile to optimize as much as I could and the problem evaporated.

 

Also, most commonly I would indeed get an error message, but it lasted such a short time for me (a few attempts, a few hours of work, finally I test and the problem is gone now) and was prior to the error codes having any meaning, or was related to drivers and memory...

Reset your settings in-game, have you modded anything? Remove any type of mods, have you tried it not logged into GFWL or loading an old save game and seeing if it happens then at all?

 

Maybe uninstall game make sure everything else is up to date (back up saves) and then reinstall game over the changes you have made since install, becuase it seems a strange one. As if something in the engine is corrupt at the point of collision, could be corrupt file of some sort or real odd bug caught after a game save.

 

As regards backing up and game saves I added something to my first post in my sig under "tweaks thread" have a look see if that helps.

 

Maybe a un-re install of game and a de frag, then also and other 3rd party updates, then install game, then start a fresh game and get to the first game save and test car collisions out once more. All things about de frag & getting game saves back after starting a new game from fresh install is in that tweaks thread if you want to try.

 

All I can really think of to be honest.
