u wanna be careful cos mxo might say "download different drivers" in other words "where to lazy we work so hard on eating doughtnuts"
last time mxo said to me download different drivers lol either one still made me crash which means MXO STOP LYING TO ALL OF US COS U FIXED THE CRASh PROBLEM BFORE................
ps mxo emailed me with drivers after i snt my dxdiag and guess what lol THEY SENT DRIVERS NOT COMPATABLE WITH MY GRAPHICS CARD...NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Looks like that old bug that caused the client to crash a bunch a few patches ago is back. I keep crashing whenever I'm being chased by the Hired Thugs in the GPS mission... hotfix maybe? (please!)
I'm having client crash after/durintg fighting. If i wanted to spend all day talking i'd have bought sims online.
Just wanted to add my two cents here. Getting consistent game crashes, although performance is vastly improved over the past two weeks ( I was getting some bizarre stop and start lag on certain indoors missions).
Managed to finish the critical mission, but crashed twice trying it. Managed to complete two more missions before crashing again. Logged in and started a mission, but crashed again before finishing it.

You know that QA is for right? Testing patches before it comes out. Maybe you guys need to test your patches before it comes to live.
Thank you
Thank you
It would help if any of you would post your system information (in your own threads please) and indicate what error messages you receive and how your game options are set. We have no information to work from at this point. You can get instructions HERE.
Players with outdated or unsupported drivers may experience crashing because of that, so we do look at driver versions and recommend updating them if needed. This can resolve multiple issues. If it does not fix YOUR issue, then further troubleshooting is required.

Well i am going to carry on with this thread. I dont understand what you mean by updating drivers my computer cost me well over 4 grand and its 3 months old so thats not it. I dont think the reply we got here was what we were looking for, no offense. I have been told by many people in game that they have been crashing and many by my own faction. IS it possible the new patch you put it carrys a curropt file? That is my new question. Could it be the Patch that is causing me to crash.

Just figured i would drop in and say that i have crahsed 32 times since the patch. And i have never crashed more then 3 to 4 times a week before the patch. 
Well it's not my drivers, they're up to date. If I may add, more than 3/4th of those helping out of a Pandora's Box 4 crashed multiple times less than half an hour ago. That's more than 15 people.
I have to add to this thread as well,
since the new patch (40) I've rarely been able to complete missions. as soon as I enter interlock everything locks up and I get the bug report window.
there is a side benefit to this though, it seems that after the client crash, my system performance is almost cut in half, and my interlock rolls appears to actually IMPROVE.
I don't know why this happens, I'll try and FRAPS record a mission just to see if I can provide proof of this...
I really hate getting the 5th bug report menu of the night and just filling it with expletives.

Hey guys thank you for also supporting my problem with your own. I am this crashing left and right. One of my tech friends came to look at my unit and i have been told my internet is fine, drivers primier and firewalls not in the way. So i am leaving it to the Tech support to check into the patch 40. It is the only resonable explination.
Thank you

Just out of interest, do you guys use any commercial software auditing tools like Microsoft Visual Source Safe or PVCS?
You store all your code in there and release, then between releases you have the option to roll back your changes or at least systematically go through what you changed to track down any bugs like this. It's child's play to use and essential in a commercial environment.
Before the last patch the game was extremely stable, by all accounts. Now if you can compare and isolate what you changed between the two patchs I shouldn't think it would take you longer than a couple of days to find out where the bug is, beats looking through all the junk submitted to you when people crash.

Just to let all know. ATI has released Catalyst 6.2 with all new drivers. I have installed it and all seems good so far. I will report back if problems are fixed or persist. Also, Net Frame Work 2.0 is for x86 systems. For more information see Microsoft.
