Game keeps crashing at random

And the net result is that you no longer get a "clean boot" without doing it the hard way or simply try a reboot.

Yeah, though I do see the merit in being able to hibernate and the like it's a valuable time saver at times I just feel it was sort of slimy/sneaky for them to make that the default and not tell the general consumer.

Yes, that stack trace tells me that it's a corrupt texture swap list in a scene file, which probably means a malformed scene file.

 

Do you have any overrides in the 'data' directory? Make sure there is not a data\scenes folder under your COH install.

 

You may want to try deleting homecoming\scenes.pigg, and if that doesn't work, piggs\misc.pigg and letting them get re-downloaded.

It seems my crashes occur for the same reason. Malformed scenes? l saw at 1st map of lTF a thing pretty resembling malformation (a plain near hill, where Nictus ambushes come from was drawn below actual surface).

 

Stack traces are also very similar:

 

Theirs:

    "crashmode": 641,
    "stacktrace": [
      "0xbc9910",
      "0xb9d6bf",

    ],
    "exceptionaddr": "0xbc9910",

Mine:

 

    "crashmode": 641,
    "stacktrace": [
      "0xcabffb",
      "0xcb5719",
      "0xc9b36f",

      "0x77bfa8a1"
    ],
    "exceptionaddr": "0xcabffb",
    "base": "0x820000",

 

One of addresses:

Theirs address: b3d682-9d0000=16D682

My address: 98d682-820000=16D682

 

l'm glad at least it may not be connected with some of mah doohickeys. It began occuring after 3-rd December patch.

I'm not sure but I think they did something during the maintenance yesterday, as I haven't had a single game crash since. Now, I probably just jinxed myself by mentioning it.  Crossing my fingers...

Well, yesterday l ran on mah character almost whole day, striking 2 health accolades for one of mah toons, changing instances like once every few minutes and crash occured zero times. But l did it solo, so maybe it has something to do with teammates.

Sorry to necro this - but has anyone found a solution to this yet? I’ve been having this issue for weeks. I CTD seemingly at random. I play on a 2016 Razer Blade with at NVidia GTX1060 gpu, 16GB ram.

General advice:

• Try resetting your graphics to recommended.  If it crashes still, try resetting to minimum.  Either way, turn one setting on at a time per session and see if it crashes on one specific part.  (I'd start with particle count => 10,000, so you can at least see your powers.)
• Check your client for two folders:
  • /Crash -- If there are crash reports saved on the days this has been happening, please send them to us using the Support feature above.  Link to this thread in the forums.
  • /Data -- If you have client modifications in this folder, you can disable them all at once without deleting the directory - simply rename the Data folder to something else (/DataBackup) and see if the crashes to desktop persist.  If they stop, you know there's a file in /Data that's the culprit.
• Check which graphics display mode you're on.  Open the Options menu (either Login screen or in-game) and under the "Graphics & Audio" tab, the first line, "Screen/UI Resolution", pick one of the following three choices.  Windowed and Borderless has less issues than Desktop resolution on some newer systems.
  • Desktop - Uses full screen rendering.  COH has full use of the monitor, all other apps on the display are not processed while the game is running.  One of the more resource-efficient ways to play, but it can be problematic on certain configurations.  There's a performance hit if you Alt-Tab an app open on top of the game.
  • Windowed - Uses windowed rendering, which uses resources as Windows still draws apps on the same monitor.  Safer from bugs.  Alt-Tab is almost seamless.
  • Borderless - A middle of the road: draws the entire windowed screen to the full bounds of the display, but Windows still draws apps on the same monitor.  Alt-Tab friendly as well.

If the above doesn't help, I'd recommend filing a ticket in the Support area so further diagnosis can be done concerning your particular setup.
