Resolved - DoD:S Crash

[Barry 1st MRB]

Name: Liam Barry

Rank: Master Sergeant

Type of issue: DoD:S

Brief Description of Issue: Game starts up no problem and I can play through half a map or so. Then my game freezes up and there is an audio loop. So I go back to my desktop to try to close the program in task manager and I notice that steam is not activated and I cannot remove the crashed game without restarting my pc. I am running Dillons Config and some custom skins but no issues with these prior to today.

Please could you try running without the config for a while to see if the lockup still occurs? In the meantime you should be able to kill your DoD by ending the HL2.exe process in task manager.

Verify the integrity of your game cache.

[Barry 1st MRB]

I verified the cache and will see if this helps.

So the Config is taken off and I verify game cache and now I'm crashing straight to desktop after a while.

The interesting thing is when I crash to desktop Steam shuts off and closes completely.

There is a long discussion thread on the recent update causing crashes. Many of the posters said uninstalling Geforce Experience resolved the issue for them. Do you have Geforce Experience installed?

Also try this...

Please try running Steam in Windows Compatibility Mode:

1) Right click on Steam icon

2) Select Properties and go to tab Compatibility

3) Check box Run this program in compatibility mode for windwos xp sp3

4) Apply, ok

5) Run the game w/o problems.

I made the changes and will go on DoD:S later to confirm.

Also I have been on the private recently for unit realisms and such and I have lasted whole hours and maps so its either fixed or its only the pub

has your issue been resolved, barry?

[Heresy 1st MRB]

Please may I have an update on this to know if the problem is still occurring or resolved?

[Barry 1st MRB]

As of right now I think it is resolved. I have been on for practices and a couple of pub maps and it seems fine.

The problem seemed to be when I set my fps down to 120 instead of my 300 cap out.

When I dont touch it it works fine.

Thanks for the follow-up and letting us know what seemed to solve the issue for you. I will close the ticket.
