I went to go download it but hte download page has some info to check if you have it already. I followed the steps and yes it is already on teh computer.ok, did you install win7 service pack 1?
if not, id suggest you do that, there are many reports on that helping EC
Severly malfunctioning on alot of machines would be closer to the mark i believe.aye it came more or less automaticly with windoes update short after publish, i would be surpriced if you did not have it, but was just making sure.
am out of ideas, tho you may try and mess with ingame graphics settings, and disable the carto setting in pinco's ui like he suggested.
other than that i think all is left to blame a somewhat malfunctioning client in some areas / on some machines.
oops i ment to edit.. but accidentely double posted.. sry..
The only error im getting that is closely timed with my crashing is,not sure this crashing of yours is an EC issue... I had some crash issues previously. After a windows 7 update about 4 months ago, the problem went away and has not returned. Unsure what it was that got fixed. It was before the service pack release.
Use Event Viewer. it is a little advertised nice piece of software with win 7. find it by typing it in the search program box. I don't know how computer litterate you are, but you should be able to figure out what all was going on on your computer right up to where your app got killed. Not offering solutions here, just tools to help figure it out. I suspect however that it has to do with IRQ's and cycles. Sometimes updating the firmware on your network card helps. I did that on another machine where i was having crash issues (not with UO, i don't run UO on that box) and it solved similar "unexplained" things. Another spot to check is actually your firmware on your router. as silly as it may seem. lastly, see if you can switch around the network card and your graphics card inside your computer.
Not sure if any of this helps, but I would continue looking for a solution as it likely can be fixed.
I have the same exact problem.. and it really sux becasue ive gotten to greatly enjoy the client but i cant continue to have these problems ive even went back to the 2d cleints till this gets fixedThe only error im getting that is closely timed with my crashing is,
Souce: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7036
the only problem is that this error is constant, from the time i start the machine it can happen 20 times a second and what looks like never more than 20 minutes apart. Ive had one happen in the same minute as a EC crash, but ive also had them spaced 10 minutes before an EC crash. So im gonna have to assume its no the 7036 that is crashing me = (
Ya if i was still on siege sprago i wouldnt run 3d. thank god for atl insurance = )I have the same exact problem.. and it really sux becasue ive gotten to greatly enjoy the client but i cant continue to have these problems ive even went back to the 2d cleints till this gets fixed
yea i lost a suit the other day because of it sucks ass thats why i had to go back to 2d which im not a fan ofYa if i was still on siege sprago i wouldnt run 3d. thank god for atl insurance = )
the devs will never talk about problems they cant fix or cant afford to fix. they rather have a ****ty game and hope people dont unsub? who knows who cares they will fix it in there own time. the combined effort of people on these forums trying to fix the problem is probably 10x as much effort as they will have to put into it since they accualy know about this stuff. i hope there art work looks good cause obviously pretty pictures is more important than playability.It would help a lot if a dev popped in and acknowledged that something changed in the last patch or two with the EC, because we don't know where the problem occurs.
One unifying factor is that we all crash to desktop. My UO window completed disappears, and I can restart within seconds of it crashing and no issues with that, just have to wait for the patch checking and login windows.
No and they know that, otherwise they never canceled the KR client.the devs will never talk about problems they cant fix or cant afford to fix. they rather have a ****ty game and hope people dont unsub? who knows who cares they will fix it in there own time. the combined effort of people on these forums trying to fix the problem is probably 10x as much effort as they will have to put into it since they accualy know about this stuff. i hope there art work looks good cause obviously pretty pictures is more important than playability.
Ive had the crash to desktop in despice destard and hythloth. ive had it most commonly in yew. Ive never had it in luna.No and they know that, otherwise they never canceled the KR client.
There is a crash problem which has todo with specific areas, there are many areas which are crash free, i can do despice champ all day long without even one crash, but if i then enter this specific locations i will crash.
Navery's lair is a good spot for that.
It really must be incredibly random, although I've noticed that it only happens when I'm zoomed all the way out. That may not be anything - I'm usually running zoomed all the way out.ts more common where you spend the most ammount of time i think. Like you spend some time in despise prolly not as much as navrey. i spend some time in luna but not nearly as much as the other stated places. Ive never crashed at navrey.
im with you man, just wishfull thinking. Id like to add that my crashing didnt start till the last big patch when i came back in late feb? but heres to not crashing every 10mins-1hour if they did fix it! please post if you crash.so magically after years, after all the patches and all the posts about the client crashing to desktop, after all the people posting after each patch that they havent crashed yet that day, this is the one that fixes it? I'll believe that after a couple weeks of no crashes.
sorry to quote myself, but pls check this, and give your user acc write/modidying permissions also.one more thing to eliminate
Right click EC Folder and select security tab.
should be an entry called "Authorized users" make sure it has write/modifying rights.
yes i did not reply when i tried this but i did and still am crashing = (sorry to quote myself, but pls check this, and give your user acc write/modidying permissions also.
i crashed with 2d ever so often, yes classic client, this made it work for that, so am suspecting it might be a similar issue.
nothing is certain however.
How often do you play at a time for a solid amount of time?I would like to say that I was crashing at one point and set my cache to 0 and have not crashed in 3 weeks now! Not saying this will help everyone but if you have not tried it you might want to or maybe its just the way i have all my options configured but it has stopped for me!
I Hate you. = p just kidding im just jealous.I play every day 2-8 hours
