Technical Support - 0.10.5/5b patch causing frequent crashes - Forum

Ever since the 0.10.5 patch I have been getting frequent games crashes with no error. Windows just says that Client.exe has stopped working. I have noticed that it happens most often when I create a new Eternal Laboratory instance. I have run packcheck, downloaded the game again, cleared the shader cache, and the client file. It still happens fairly often compared to it happening almost never before this patch. Only when the shader cache got really large and I had to clear it; did it ever happen before. dxdiag info: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0K4Iyz-2QD1aS1CazQzbjlnVm8/edit	Posted by lagnard on Apr 9, 2013, 3:26:51 AM Quote this Post
I can add that I also just crashed while entering Eternal Laboratory, and yesterday while attempting the same the game stuck in loading screen and I had to terminate it. I dont remember a single crash for the previous couple months of Open Beta, so it is likely caused by some of the changes in latest patch.	Posted by nermind on Apr 9, 2013, 6:21:28 AM Quote this Post

Ye, I have had to resort to farming docks, which at high lvl is total bs, but id rather do this than crash to desktop every other map.	Posted by Terminalz on Apr 9, 2013, 9:08:54 AM Quote this Post

Could it be that you have bad content? In the past, when people experienced crashes relating to maps, it was due to corrupt Content.ggpk file by their ISP caching the old data. This was fixed by using the VPN and running PackCheck or renaming the Content.ggpk file and re-downloading the whole thing (while still on VPN) The VPN is used to avoid going through your ISP for the cached content.
