Repeated freezing and crashing, on newer machine...

[frostfarmer]

Haven't been able to narrow down where or when it happens... Sometimes in TOT madness, sometimes in solo missions.

 

If it offers a chance, I submit a report, but sometimes it just freezes and closes. Once it even blue screened the whole box.

 

My PC is brand new, just upgraded it a couple months ago:

 

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 
32 GB Ram

Win 11 (22621 build)

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (Driver version 31.0.22011.4008)

Brand new SSD 2TB M2 drive...

Not sure what other specs really matter... 

 

Tried GFX reset, turned that off after a while as it got annoying to re-set it every time I launched. Verified game files, no issues. Temps are fine, even when game is going full bore: CPU and video hovers at about 50c...

Try /graphfps 7 (/graphfps 0 to shut off) and see if one component over the others is causing a bottleneck or halting the game.  (It'll cover your right half of the screen with a transparent graph. Teams and TOT league may fare better over TF and iTrials in trying to make it crash on purpose.)  Swap is your HDD chart, with CPU and GPU self-explanatory.

I doubt network is causing crashes, but that's a separate graph: /netgraph 1 (/netgraph 0 to shut it off.)

Not sure how to read this, but lots of green 🙂

And immediately after I posted this, it crashed...

Attached is the most recent 'crash report'. Doesn't really highlight anything, to my mind...

Have you tried using the "-usetexenvcombine" launch parameter...It may help.

 

You will find this in the Homecoming Launcher, click the 3 dots next to Ready, then click settings, enter the parameter in the Launch Parameter field.

It will use this each time you load with no further effort.

Also I have heard there are issues with the way graphics suites try to run the game and it may require using a basic driver.

COH is old and requires OpenGL , newer cards may not natively support that.

Thanks for the assistance, everyone! I finally seem to have it fixed (watch it start breaking again lol)

 

I'd verified files several times, but about the 10th time I did so, it complained that 1 pigg was corrupt. I deleted it, redownloaded it, and verify showed another bad pigg. Then, I deleted ALL the piggs, redownloaded them AGAIN, and machine blue screened. Each time I opened the launcher, my machine froze. I deleted 1 pigg that was 0 bytes, and launcher allowed me to re-download, again. Been good for several days, now 🙂

 

Short version: Re-verify files  more than once. 🙂
