My NW crashes and takes the computer with it.

[loppolh]

I can play about 30-60 mins but then my computer crashes.

Any idea whats wrong?

 

[tompaw0w]

Drivers? Memory-fail?

You can always try and run a CPU-stress-test, and see how it manages the heat.

[loppolh]

I cant be bothered.I have cleaned my comp,defragmented all my files and still.

 

[Leberecht Reinhold]

Hardware? OS? Logs? It gives any error?

Its hard to say if you dont give more details.

 

[loppolh]

Nope.My comp just cuts out.

Please post your Direct X Diag (Google if you don't know how) and RGL_log (found in your main Mount & Blade: Warband folder)


Could you also try to install the non-steam version of the game if you haven't already:

Warband:
www.flyingsquirrelent.eu/mb_warband_setup_1152.exe

Napoleonic Wars:
www.flyingsquirrelent.eu/mb_warband_napoleonic_wars_setup_1003.exe


Then download this zipfile, and extract the contents in your main warband folder:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11240073/wse_crash_log.zip

Run the game with wse_loader.exe, once your warband crashes, it should create a file "wse_crash_log.txt" in your main warband folder.
Please post the contents of the file.

Closing log file... 

 

[Vincenzo]

Your RGL_log seems to show you played native?

Could you try starting the game with Napoleonic Wars selected in the launcher?


Also I notice you only have 1.3 GB free of your 2.8 GB ram, could you try closing all other applications you have open in your background, like browsers and so on.

 

[loppolh]

I  use the launcher,then select NW from the dropdown.

 

[Vincenzo]

Then post a RGL log of that and after you crashed.

 

[loppolh]

I cant be bothered for it to crsh again.Native and other mods dont crash its just nw.

 

[Vincenzo]

Well I cannot help you if you don't provide the needed information.


From the looks of it, it looks system memory related, could you confirm that you have "Load textures on demand" enabled in the launcher options?

 

[bertanx]

Also you can lower the graphical settings.

 

[loppolh]

Its ticked and its on the lowest settings

 

[loppolh]

I think I posted the native RGL.Where do I find the NW RGL?

 

[Vincenzo]

Start the game with NW, play it, get crashed, post.

 

[loppolh]

Wheres the rgl file?
