Rainbow 6 Vegas... fix the crashes?

[DaIceMan]

Just wondered if anyone had been playing R6Vegas and found any fix for the constant crashes. I know it's a pretty common problem, from reading ubi's forums, and that I'm not alone, but I was just hoping someone might have found something.

I've done all the normal things to fix it... short of reinstalling windows, but I'm probably going to give that a try this weekend as it only started a couple of weeks ago and has only grown worse.

I'm gonna say the most common things to start off with:
Drivers
Patches (1.04)
Malware
etc.

yeah... as I stated, I did all the normal stuff.

uninstalled/reinstalled drivers.
uninstalled/reinstalled the game, full patch instead of incrementals.
Scan every day for virus and spyware.

Nothing that easy is working. I think it must be something I installed that has caused a conflict of some type. All other games play just fine for hours on end. R6Vegas plays for 10-20 minutes and locks up. SP, MP... lan or internet. Oh well, maybe the next patch will help, or I'll just reinstall windows and try again.

bah, it's a Boobisoft game

the only time i crash is in multiplayer when I alt tab out and back in.

[InsolenceAndHeresy]

I don't get why people complain about games being wonky when they ALT+TAB in and out. I mean wouldn't common sense dictate that it would?

No offense to you or anyone else.

[Mad_Goku]

I'm not complaining....I'm just stating the only time I have a crash in it....

[DaIceMan]

I can Alt Tab in and out of GRAW at will, and it never crashes.

We did a little more tweaking on my over clock and made sure it was 100% stable. It let me play for about an hour, before it crashed to desktop. *sigh*

Mine will work fine sometimes but then when I start the game as usual- it will run, load, then crash and quit completely. Ive done the install/uninstall, patch update, etc. etc. Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas?

[Mad_Goku]

thats weird because I don't get crashes in game all that much.

[DaIceMan]

Well, after reinstalling Windows, the game seems to be running fine. I haven't tried it on Hamachi yet, but I was getting crashes even in SP before.

And, the 1.05 patch came out within the last few days that claims to have fixed several problems I had noticed before. Maybe it'll be worth playing again now.

[Mad_Goku]

I get my new mobo tonight so barring a catastrophic event...I'm going to install Vegas and try the new patch. Here's to hoping all goes well

[Mad_Goku]

I actually played this again for a little bit today. Still seems like the same old game though. No crashes, but I never had many problems to begin with.

Mine seems to be ok (after patched to 1.05) , but I did get two freeze ups the other day ; but I put that off to a "possible" heat related freeze it being frick'in super hot here in Calif lately .

[purdeys]

Ive had the same probs, updated all the drivers, all fine, system all fine, but i still seem to get freezes now and then...
Cud it b just getting to hot (even with the freaking rain) ?

[Mad_Goku]

are you overclocked? can your system handle the game? It could just be getting hot and the pc locks up. Does this happen in other games?

[purdeys]

my system doesn't do it with anything else, and it runs it fine, i cleaned out my fan, and it had LOADs of fluff in it... well it wasnt me but.. neway looking better but i havent tested yet.. but not getting as hot
