Stop the game crash

[IanYang]

Entering wildernesses causes game crash. Leaving wildernesses causes game crash. Entering bank causes game crash. Boarding guild ship causes game crash.

It is enough. Please try to make the game as stable as U7 which didn't let us have this problem.

What crash? Haven't had one yet with the last update. As a matter of fact, haven't had one since before the time they went from "Modules" to "Updates". Sounds like possibly a memory/cpu problem. Could also be video(but highly doubt it). Got programs running in the background you don't know about? Overheating maybe? Lots of things could be causing the problem.

And sounds like this thread belongs elsewhere and not in the Suggestions area.

I do not now, nor have ever suffered these crashes. Old computer, new computer, or netbook.


My suggestion would be to reset your graphic settings, which, in my experience, get tweaked around on updates.

I have the same problem. Every time i enter GH, orchard, marketplace and a couple other places i will crash. I reinstalled the game, still happens all the time.

I was using Windows XP and things were fine before Update 7.
After U7, it seems I was getting crash error here and there, its bearable to me at least.
Then I switched to Windows 7 on the day Update 8 was out, since then my DDO client crashed too many times and just frustrates the hell out of me.

I'm having the same problems, crashes when entering market from the Harbor, getting on/off the airship, zone-ing into Orchard of Macabre, Ruins of the Gianthold, and Meridia thru main gate.

my suggestion- get a better internet connection/ computer.

If the crashes are not game wide/ server wide, that means your mostly likely problem is that your computer/connection simply cannot handle the data flow that happens when you switch to a wilderness instance, as they are bulkier data-wise than dungeon instances.

I had one or two crashes entering the Orchard, but upgrading my computer changed that :]

They are YOUR crahses, not GAME crashes.

Entering wildernesses causes game crash. Leaving wildernesses causes game crash. Entering bank causes game crash. Boarding guild ship causes game crash.

This is a crash caused by your system, not a bug in the DDO client.
So: You fix it.

It sounds to me like the OP is experiencing a memory problem. To explain what is going on, every time the character enters a wilderness instance the game pulls texture and drawing data from the hard drive and stores it RAM. A similar thing happens when the bank is opened; the computer pulls item display data from the hard drive and stores it on RAM. Therefore something is likely going on in one of these two steps. Either pulling from the hard drive or storing in RAM is probably the issue.

It might be because both the bank and a wilderness zone require a very large amount of data. It might be because your memory is somehow corrupted. Hard to say exactly, but I am 99% certain the issue is client side. This thread is the first I have heard of it and I log into DDO everyday. None of my friends or guildies have complained. My recommendation to the OP is to update drivers, defragment the hard drive, and run some diagnostics on memory.
