Something New About Crashes Related To NW

I think this may be a new problem, perhaps an old problem not reported yet, at least I have not heard anything about it anyway.

I crashed after the NW tonight. I had a couple crashes during it too. But after is when I had the time to pay attention to what was going on on my PC. I crashed several times after wards(often before I was even able to leave the spot where I spawned in)and sent in the error reports because I was so fed up with it.

But something I noticed is that even though I got far away from the high traffic area in Arch where everyone was spawning back into the mainland and I was in high performance mode is that my PC was still bogged down. This game bogging down on me like that is very peculiar as I my PC tears this game up and eats it for breakfast.

So I opened my program manager and discovered I had 7, yes SEVEN clients running. Not in the applications tab, but in the processes tab. These client instances were residual left over from previous crashes.

I noticed there was a crash, the first one i had during NW where I could not log back in, it would not let me in for a good 5 minutes(yes I was using force log, several times in fact), this is likely because I had a client running still from the crash.

I did not when I started NW have any clients open but the one I was playing. I did this for performance purposes. It was entirely intentional to only be running one single client. The funny thing is how afterwards, I had as many clients running as I had crashes. I began with only one.

    This is a hypothesis but...

    Maybe the clients didn't have time to close . So when first one crashed you open a new one.

    Then it crash and you open a new one. And so on. If they did not close then your memory usage would have been flying through the sky.

    The logging thinghy is server side i think, as it happened to me :P

    It says a lot about your pc. It handled it like a champ b:victory

    But that's my idea.
