[0973] Heavy assets CTD

[brezmans]

Description:


I only noticed this about a month or 3 ago, but I only thought of posting it here now. I have experienced first hand, and witnessed too, some strange CTDs when operating heavy assets.

For example: when I am in an MTLB with a driver/gunner, it sometimes happens that we both crash to desktop without any warning or without anyone else in the server crashing. I have seen this happen to the cobra on Muttrah as well, just dropping out of the sky with both the pilot and the gunner crashing to desktop without any warning. I know this because I am talking in ventrilo with these people. Everything else operates normally, PR just shuts down without warning.

I have no idea how to reproduce this bug, as it seems to happen randomly but I thought it was odd since it happens to both people in the asset.
I mostly play on =HOG= Muttrah 24/7, so these CTDs happened either in an MTLB or in the Cobra. I have not yet experienced this on other maps, but since the bug happens maybe once every two weeks or less, it's hard to reproduce it.

Is the dev-team aware of this or is it happening not enough to truly warrant a full investigation?
As I said, it's hard/nigh impossible to reproduce the bug, I wish I could help you out more.

thanks for reporting.

how often a bug happens is not really important, but that bug you describe is nearly impossible to reproduce, its almost impossible to fix it.

Now that you mention it, I only had CTD's when I was in vehicles in my whole time of playing PR.

I also have noticed occasional mass CTDs, usually they occur to some heavy vehicle's crew and people around the asset. On the other hand, I once experienced it when driving a logi truck from Muttrah's North City to Docks - there might've been MTLB near us, but I'm not sure. If there was - it may indicate the radius is quite big.

9 out of 10 CTDs I get are in heavy assets indeed.

Especially the Cobra on Muttrah is a death trap.

Nice post, i was thining CTD was due to our "old comps", but i see others have CTD like that too. Heppend yesterday in kashan with the tank, few weeks ago in Jets on Black gold, i remember this becouse, i and sq mate were flying migs, around 1500, then the SL put a marker and proper lase with marker on the map, suddenly we both CTD. Now i suspect too much information on the map + speedy change of plane position on map could cause this. Will try to taste that with clan mates, planes in the air and multiple markers on map, will see.
