Randomly Crashing
« on: December 22, 2010, 10:06:25 AM »
I have a feeling that I've read somewhere that this is just unavoidable and that you have to just accept it, but on my DSL the game will sometimes crash, mainly when picking bots on exhibition mode.
It happens on all my DSL's, and usually it isn't too bad, but it just did it 3 times in a row, so I'd like to know if there's a fix for it.

Try right clicking on the main DSL folder and un-checking the "Read Only" box. That fixed it for me.

How does it crash? To desktop? blue screen?

Is taking one challenge request. First come first serve. I'm a bit rusty now but I'm going to try and crank something out for this. MW and up no glitches DSL or Stock.

No, it just stops responding, but I think that gazea's advice might have fixxxed it.

If it's picking bots in Exhibition Mode, maybe it's something to do with the AI folder. If it's randomly during a match, I think that's the Havok Engine going on strike.

Nah, it's just randomly while picking a bot, not when I actually click on a bot as I imagine you're thinking.
Plus the DSL where it crashed 3 times in a row is actualy my completely unedited one, so nothing has happened to the AI.
