Its really frustrating, also happens alot in DAOC when I alt tab, which you have to do alot in that game
I am running two monitors that are not the same size, could this be contributing to the problem ?
any input is appriciated
Got an ASUS ENGTX275
The black screen issue may be due to resolution/rendering changes. I have experienced a similiar issue in another game.. When it would crash the screen would go black (like the monitor lost the signal) and all I could do was ctrl-alt-del, S, enter (to reboot) as I could not see the screen any more.
Sadly I never found a solution.
On topic, I have an 8800 GT (overclocked) using the 195.62 drivers and have had no issues.
Figures, the TRIBBLE I ***** at people for actually fixed mine this time.
SLI GTX 260
my 275 gets up to 75-85 while playing and it has no problems at all at those temperatures...sounds like bad components in your GPU.
I've also loaded the game up in an XP 32 bit partition same hardware... same result so we can't blame this one on Windows 7.
I put the switch into the advanced setitngs of the launcher /perframesleep 10 In the game I set everythign to max then turned on vertical sync turned shadows off and dynamic lighting off and play in a maximized window.
Runs cool, decent quality, crashed maybe once every 4-5 hours of play.
When I was using the older Nvidia drivers I was crashing once or twice per hour.
Now between everything I have done and the things Cryptic has done with all their updates I am not really sure what made it better. The fact I have to do all this to play without burning up my card and locking up several times per hour is pretty bad. You folks are onto something good here, get better before you mess up this game please. I really mean that in a more positive way than I know it sounds.
