    Default Post 1.3 CTDs

    Let’s talk about crashes to desktop “after” the 1.3 update (without bashing CA please).

    I experienced three yesterday alone, this was not happening before the latest patch, and I wondered if this was now a common experience?

    Any clues as to why, and what might be done to make these less likely to happen?

    Yup, they're very common, especially in larger games. Currently the percentage of unfinished 4v4's after the patch is around 50%.

    i have heard its because of elite units of the west
    if they are not being used - its better

    btw "without bashing CA" - might be problem - maybe they like being bashed

    I doubt it's because of the DLC units, doesn't really make any kind of logical sense, they're just units like other units (if they were causing it all other units would surely cause it too). Barely see any games with them anyhow, it just sounds like people trying to come up with a reason to ban them and of course there is the placebo effect.

    The only thing I've noticed with the CTD is grouping and ungrouping (especially quickly) seems to cause crashes on occasion. I've minimised doing that (well I just don't ungroup after the start) for the time being and I rarely crash now (still happens, just less commonly).

    Every game I was in last night peoiple were randomly having CTD. player xxxxx has left the game.

    It was not the same player each time so cannot put it down to an individual player being responsible.

    All games were 4 v 4.

    Must add, I have not, as yet, had a CTD.
