Crash & Reboot with 1.81.2 patch

**FAdmiral** · 12-03-2011

The game worked perfectly before the patch. (downloaded Steam version)
After steam installed the patch, it will crash about 2-3 minutes after skirm
scenario starts. I have not tried MP yet. Does anyone else have this problem?

3/13 - Uninstalled the game & redownloaded it again (1.81.2 ver. DLed)
I still have the same problem. Below is a copy of the log file:

Try to check your cache integrity in steam. (Right click on your game in the steam library, then preferences)

**FAdmiral** · 14-03-2011

Already did that, no luck !!
I did go on MP & the game ran for an hour or so
before the crash happened. After the reboot,
Win7 told me that the network adapter driver had failed.
I restored & went to intel & DLed a newer ethernet driver.
I will try it to see if that fixes the problem. Let you know...

OK, tried it again in Skirimsh (crash & reboot) after about
2-3 minutes into intro game. Upon rebooting, I got a blue
screen with this file (APPFLT64.SYS) as main cause.
A discription of the crash from Win7 said this:

Is this a sound or video problem? Some change in patch 1.81.2 is causing this because the
game worked perfectly in ver. 1.81.1

ALSO: Most every time I start the game, it wants to reload my DirectX files.
Is this normal or maybe something is wrong with my DirectX?

Nope, went to Microsoft and they said I had uptodate version of DX11
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????

3/16 update: My video card (GF9800GTX) does NOT support DX11 according to
Nvidia. But DXDiag says that is the version I have installed. Did the patch
make any changes pertaining to video cards or DX11? I have got the game to
run somtimes for longer periods of time but the crash, when it does happen
which is not always, comes at random times???

**FAdmiral** · 18-03-2011

I ordered a new GPU card. An EVGA GForce GTX 550 Ti which will support DX11.
I sure hope this will fix the problem. I have been getting blue screens as well as
the game crashes that point to the Graphic Adapter going bad.

3/18/2011 Received my new card & installed it. I will know fairly soon if it wiil
correct the problem. Earlier today, before the new installation, my PC suffered
2 blue screens while on & doing nothing (I was away from my desk) so the problem
had been expanding into different areas....

3/20/2011 After installing the card & reinstalling the latest DX11 from the disk that
came with the card, I have played about 3 hours skirm (single) & 1.5 hours skirm (mp)
The game ran fine. Also after installing the above, i cleaned up the registry too....
