Crashes for no apparent reason?

Post by NaxShaleChan »

So... Um, yeah, I'm playing an eight player (single player mode) skirmish and three seconds-ish after this save game point, Warzone crashes. I don't get a dump file, the debug logs don't show any errors. Nothing... Anybody have any insight on this?

I've attached the save game file. I'm running version 2.2.3 on Windows 7 RC1. AMD Athlon TK-53 processor, Nvidia GeForce Go6100 graphics.

If I was to guess, 99% of the time, if the game "crashes" and there is no dump file, and no error logs, then the fault is almost always in drviers. Most likely, video drivers, but could be sound, and it could also be system issues. (like overheating...)
and it ends here.

Hmm, ok. What specifically about the video drivers? Lack of support for OpenGL?

As for overheating, yeah, my laptop runs a bit hot...

I mean that the video drivers you are using, can have bugs, and since we are using OpenGL, the issue is most likely a bug in their codebase.
