Random crash of program

[Melothe]

Hey,

for a while now I've had problems with my ddo crashing at, what at least seems to be, completely random occasions except that it has always been during an instance.

I have the latest drivers for my graphics card, my sound card driver is a bit outdated from july 2009. I have heard that overhead names or healthbars can cause crashes and I have since long disabled them without getting rid of the problem.

I also ran a dxdiag and it showed no problems. Here are the specifications for my computer:

OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
CPU: Intel E6750 Core 2 duo (2.66GHz)
Motherboard: Gigabyte P35-DS4
Memory: 2gb @ 800 MHz
GPU: Geforce 8800 GTS 640mb
Resolution: 1680 x 1050
Internal soundcard

These crashes are really annoying in game, and I would be very grateful if I could get help finding the cause of this to rid it. Thanks in advance for the help!

Best regards,
Tobias, Sweden

I am having the same problem....it has just started to occur within the last week...I can play for about 30 minutes to an hour and it crashes my system with a randomly colored blank full screen...

Same. It seems for me that it has to do something with the latency- When the game crashes, my computer is sending thousands of bytes which is odd and I am receiving 0 bytes.

Have you guys been able to find a way to alt tab out of it, or are you forced to restart your unit like me?

Sometimes I can log my character out and that works. Sometimes that doesn't work and I have to restart the client. Sometimes that doesn't work and I have to restart my computer. xD

I think my problem is a bit different to yours. My system does not crash, but only ddo. If the system crashes you can probably think of it as a graphics error or similar. After my ddo crashes I can just instantly start it again and get back into the instance.

What happens is the game freezes suddenly and I get an error from windows saying that the program (ddo) crashed or something, and will be turned off. After the program has closed, I can immediately start ddo again and continue playing without problems until the next crash

Is it simmilar to this:

I have crashes whenever protection spells or resistence spells are rapidly cast. Any difference in settings does not change the frequency of the crash.
