I've had this three times now, not a CTD but a full on hose my computer freeze and lock up.. IE a directX graphics crash of megatastic proportions.
It appears to always happen in a warp situation, its most definitely graphical related.
I am wondering if we can have the old render client back as an option? even without new content the renderer was misbehaving.
anyway I'm off to see if theres a dec dx driver just incase it fixes it..
ccp, love you guys, but damn it you just ruined a great stability period. pretty much all CTDs were thing of the past, now BANG! its even worse.

Had those too, with premium enabled. Client runs fine, with premium contents on, decent FPS.
Funny thing is, it only happens on my laptop. Desktop is fine.

Just had this, played for appx 1 hour 20 mins ok. Exit station, select warp gate, initiate warp and system freezes then pc reboots.

Just to be sure, disable sound completely and see if that has any effect. There's been some problems earlier with for example RealTek onboard sound and lock-ups/bluescreens/reboots.

I had one CTD shortly after the patch when I alt-tabbed just as I jumped into another system, but other than that it's been okay even with multi-clients with sound turned on (that used to always cause a blue screen before) I'm on a core 2 nVidia 8800GTX system, so maybe you're using different hardware/drivers.
Could it be that your system is overheating? Try blowing a desk fan into the open side and see if it still happens.

I had 2 of these prior to the patch in the week leading up to it. I've not been on since patch yet due to my slow connection I should be on later today and then I can report :).

Is it possible that your graphics card might be overheating?
If you're running an ATi card, run ATiTrayTools and use the OSD to display gfx temps, monitor this during gameplay and make sure it's not running over the gfx card temperature thresh hold.

Unlikely. I've played more demanding games on my laptop without a problem. Also, it has temperature management, throttling the fans depending on temperature, and sometimes the fans switch off. Besides, I'd expect artifacts before the freeze if the GFX card overheated.

Guys, not a single one of you stated which operating system you use  post them so we can see if there is or isn't a pattern
Reason I say so is that a friend of mine has the same problem and he is using Vista 64 and I have pretty much the same setup as him(hardware) and I have Vista 32 and I am ok. He is going back to XP Pro.

Edited by: Raem Civrie on 07/12/2007 11:56:33 I get this as well (on my laptop). Hard crashes were the video driver locks up (then recovers, Vista's way of apologizing for everything else).
Vista Business (32bit) Core2Do t5470 GF8600M GT 2G RAM
So far this seems to be a tendency of the nVidia drivers on Windows Vista, seeing as most people posting here that gave up both OS and GPU had this combination. Hell, the damn driver sometimes locks up on all of it's own.

Eve ctd's (not full system crashes) every 10 to 30 minutes for me .
Anyways I'm using an 8600gts on vista prof 32 bit.
Guess I'll run the log server in the weekend and submit a bug report... Strange though on sisi I had no issues with ctd's. --- -The only real drug problem is scoring real good drugs |

I understand, this issue has happened to me too, and I've isolated it down to my graphics card overheating. While this rarely ever happens in anything else, it has happened quite frequently with Trinity.

Edited by: Yggdrassil on 07/12/2007 12:04:53 I had this too one time.
I strongly suspect overheating to be the problem. After the patch, the fan on my graphic card works "overtime" - as in that I can hear the fan on it going to max speed.
It DID happen when I initiated warp though - so not sure.
Edit: XP pro, 6800GT graphic card, 2gb ram, running 2 clients at separate installs with premium/hdr activated on one, premium but no hdr on the other.

I had that 2 times with my Geforce 8600GT. Happened in fullscreen mode. Don't remember at the moment, if it was after session change like undocking or after alt-tabbing back to the game. Mouse pointer was still there, screen black, computer didn't react to anything anymore. The keyboard was dead, like alt+f4, control-q, alt+ctrl+del didn't work. Needed to push the reset-button.

I had my computer shut lock up/shutdown twice now. Both times were when I enabled the premium graphics and initated warp. My computer has no problem running the premium graphics....even 2 sessions at a time is playable. But I've switched premium graphics off and have had no problems since. I always play with audio disabled so that is not the issue. I'll try premiums again after a patch maybe. I like the graphics but it's not worth the risk of a crash in 0.0

Edited by: Grez on 07/12/2007 12:15:27 Could be due to heat build up. Heat can cause BSOD's to happen because a certain operation didn't get carried out as expected and the system can't recover. On most XP and Vista installs, the system is set to reboot automatically in the case of a BSOD, without displaying the actual screen.
Due to the fact that all the graphical shunt was moved over to the GPU and is no-longer handled by the CPU, I would recommend checking your graphics card temps as the first step to solving this.
The fact that most of you are using Vista AND a Nvidia graphics card, means that it's possibly an issue with the Nvidia driver set. Post some more system details like graphics card make and manu, as well as drivers used and the date they were released. --- Have a rawr on me. |

I haven't had one (but I didn't play much).
Try upgrading to the latest DirectX release, the latest drivers for your graphics card and do not overclock your graphics card.

7950 GTX with latest Dell drivers. I already thought about using a modified inf File and using a newer driver.
