Dragon Fly CtD

Post by Punkbuster »

Hey Guys,
When I try to play Dragon Fly, The map loads and when its verifying the client I Crash to Desktop (CtD).
I am pretty sure its a RAM issue as I have 2GB @ 400 MHz on Windows 7 Ultimate.
I had 2GB of Virtual Memory, So I tried to increase it to 4 GB but still didn't work.
Also when I load a new map, It might load but if I press ESC it will crash, and If I didn't, it will crash in like 5 minutes.
I am thinking to either upgrade my RAM to 4GB (2 x 2GB) both running at 1066 and probably DDR3

System Specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3GHz
GPU: Palit nVIDIA GeForce 9800GT Super+ 1GB of DDRIII(3) VRAM
RAM: 2GB of DDRII(2) Ram @ 400 MHz

I generally recommend ram upgrades - and looking at your specs its what could use some - the rest looks good to me

since you increased the virtual ram and still experience the same problem
run your pr in windowed mode (append "+fullscreen 0" to the shortcut's target line), let it crash and google the error message you will get - else you might need to reinstall pr for it could be that there is a corrupted file in your pr install

also: random ctds can becaused by an out-of-date or corrupted punkbuster, manually reinstalling pb might help too
