odd crashes

[steve]

yeah my RTW crashes to my desktop every few mintues but is still playable. like it will crash but if i click the icon it will come right back up again, similiar to what happens when some AIMS u while u are playing a game. anyone know why this is doing this?

[tibilicus]

EXACTLY my problem. I have talked to people about it for months but no reply. It hapens to me when i have the internet conected wilst playin RTW. If i disconect it runs fine but it means that trying to play MP battles are hell and i feel i cant serve my clan proply till the problem is fixed.

I had this problem to , on SP , every hour on the hour my game would crash back to the desktop, really annoying .
Especially when you start a large HA battle at about 17.55, no way you can do a huge battle in 5 minutes.

Try scanning for Ad-ware and Spy ware, some good prgramms are : Ad-Aware and also good : Spy bot search & destroy

I've never ever had these problems! it must be something to do with your pc's, internet connections etc, as this problem seems to be really really random. i mean if it was a bug in the game, surely everybody would have it?

This happened to me for a while but I found that the AdAware and Norton AV were causing it. I would get a tiny little pop up that says "Norton found 5 viruses" or something like that and that would minimize my game. So I just went into both and disabled popups and it worked fine.

Close every program in your system tray, and see if that helps. If that helps, then do elimination.

Try using show_err command to find out what errors are causing your game to crash. ^_^

[steve]

cool, by disconnecting my internet before playing the problem has been fixed.

There are quite a few nasty viruses going around at the moment.Just the other day a friend of mine got one that downloaded 10 GB of porn to his pc over-night.Try as i might the bastard won't tell me where to get it.

If you find out, let me know

By "crash", do you mean "minimized" or do you mean "total shutdown of the game forcing a restart"?

[steve]

i mean minimazing to a small icon on my tool bar.

[Kekvit Irae]

You might want to check to see if you have any hidden spyware programs or virii that might be causing the program to minimize itself, because it doesnt minimize unless a new window activates itself.

The only time I see that happening to me is when I am downloading something while playing the game. If there is any slowing in the download speed, the game would crash back to my desktop. A problem usually fixed by not going online while playing; or at least not downloading big programs while playing.

Look, on the bright side, you aren't suffering random CTD's. I just had one, right in the middle of a very interesting Brit campaign. I'm just hoping that the autosave is working.

[Old Celt]

For those of you with actual crashes (program ends vs minimizing) you may want to check your system fans and ducts are clean and have adequate open air around them. Some systems will run very hot under RTW and the processor will bail out of programs automatically to prevent frying itself. This is often the case when you notice the program stops at pretty much the same intervals. HTH.

Just minimise is not crash?
Some program want focus a lot. Some times malware, some times anti virus!!

I got crash with blue screen until I disable Nero ImageDrive, now I just get game CTD after hour or 2. CPU not xtreme hot after, just 50 degrees centigrade.
