    Default NTW Crashing

    Hi there.

    I write here cause I've found that, lately, NTW crashes to desktop quite often, almost always when I'm in the middle of a multiplayer battle.

    My dxdiag is what follows, I'll appreciat any help.

    Multiplayer battles we have no control but turn down graphics settings.

    Try updating the motherboard drivers for Win 7.

    Well, I am perfectly aware that my rig can handle NTW on ultra settings (i even play wth no SSAO, no AA and shadows on high). I have to say that lately my internet connection is uter crap, could that be the cause?

    And also, I don't wanna sound retard but... how do i update mobo drivers, and how many drivers are those?

    Thanks for your time irishron

    http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19 and try them all.

    Crappy internet connection can ruin any multiplayer setup. One of the reasons I have not tried multiplayer.

    Well, funny thing is that I have tried to install these drivers before... and the system told me that I had already installed drivers tthat are more recent than those ones from Dell's site.

    And I don't trust programs like driver scan so... that's why I stickied to what I had...

    Not sure what to do. As precaution, I uninstalled the game and now is installing again.. let's hope it was just some corrupted file, because I made some system restore two weeks ago.

    About drivers, what should I do irishron? When I try to install them says if I want to overwrite and that my drivers are newer...

    If your drivers are newer, don't overwrite them.

    I'd bet it's a bad internet connection.

    The only driver scan I trust is SlimDrivers as for me, it found a couple I could get no other way. I took a chance and it worked. It could have easily benn the other way, too.

    So, if the game continue to CTD quite often after a fresh reinstall of the game (yes, I deleted all the folders), then I must assume it's caused by a bad connection?

    Trust me, since I changed from my internet company to a new one, my connection is worse than ever, it struggles to load a 2:00 minutes youtube video, so imagine to download a game... (yes, deal of the century...)

    I would never have said that internet connection could cause ctd in multiplayers, tbh.

    EDIT: I vaguely remember a CTD while in campaign mode... that would make things more worrying if that memory is correct.

    Just wanted to say that, after a fresh reinstall of the game, it now works great. 10 battles in a row without CTD.

    Probably some files got corrupted after the system restore i did some weeks ago.

    Thanks for your time anyway, irishron.
