1.04 Eastern Front Using "The Scheldt" Map


My son and I twice loaded up EF and selected Relic's map: "The Scheldt." We both chose Wehrmacht and selected two easy Russian AI opponents.

About 20 minutes in on our first try, both our systems froze with looping sound within about 30 seconds of each other.

On our second attempt, I chose Wehr and he chose PE. Again, about 20 minutes in (roughly), I froze with looping sound effects but he did not. He was able to finish the skirmish without hitch.

Just a heads up on an apparent bug.

As to our systems, both are fully up to date driver-wise as we constantly play online games - 7 days per week.

On a different map, Achelous River, I chose Wehr, he chose PE and we selected 2 Russian Normal AIs. No freezes or glitches.

Might be the easy setting, could be the Scheldt map... dunno.

Re: 1.04 Eastern Front Using "The Scheldt" Map

Was there any thing that was happening at the time, like the building of a specific unit.

Were there any error messages or did it just freeze

bit strange for it to happen at the same time on two different machines, Were there any network issues?

I can confirm that
It happens quite often in 3vs 3 matches that the host suddenly drops like 5 mins into the game ::)

Would you guys happen to be using nVidia cards or motherboards?

Re: 1.04 Eastern Front Using "The Scheldt" Map

In my experience nVidia cards will lock up sometimes with the audio looping. I would recommend updating your drivers, or rolling back to more stable drivers (especially if you have an older card).
