Just for the dmp file, perhaps someone who can open those files could check it.

What are your pc specs?

Could you try playing with lower settings? I'm guessing you are using Ultra settings ???

If you already have this crash at minimum settings, I don't think there's much we can do about it :-X... try using this software, it may help you or you can upgrade to 64 bits OS.

Do you have internet connection in the PC you installed EF?

Do you have firewall software and is configured to let EF_Launcher send requests?

Do you use a proxy and is configured to let EF_Launcher send requests?

Not using proxy.

Try disabling auto-update feature:

1) Go to your CoH Directory.
2) Open EF_Launcher_Config.ini
3) Change Auto_Update=True to Auto_Update=False
4) Go to this topic, download & install the updates manually.

You will need to install manually the next updates though.

Hey guys i have a problem, when i right-clicked my soviet infantry units-any units.Suddenly my game crashed and i was out to the desktop with an crash message.Can anyone help me?

Who am i?

Re: NEW NEW If your game crashes - Post here

February 16, 2011 at 4:26 PM

@andrei_tupolev, @Mr. Q
The only advices i can think about are:

Lower your settings.

Increase virtual memory.

Use programs such as Game Booster (need to be activated before playing).

Close as many programs as you can before playing(such as web browsers, download managers, torrent clients, etc.)

Upgrade from 32 bits OS to 64.

Don't forget to upload your warnings.log and dump file if you can(some type of crashes don't make this possible).

What map were you playing?

Vimoutiers

*Which factions were involved?

Soviet and Wehrmacht

*What were you doing when the crash occurred? Try to be as accurate as possible!

I was on a hilltop with my Zveroboy just turning around to bring it back downthe hill and it froze

*Do the crashes happen during every or almost every game?

They were happening 100% of the time and always the same crash that freezes the entire computer looping the sound, forcing me to power off (and not generating a dump file). I lowered my graphics settings to minimum and have been able to run the game, increasing 1 setting 1 level each time to see which setting is causing a problem for me. The last setting I adjusted was tree quality setting it to medium.

Here is my error log:

Edit: crashed again, this time with lowered tree detail and lower effects fidelity- second warning report attached

dude... if you are going to post multiple lines from warnings.log or any other file, wrap them around code tags.

Now, i didn't recommended to lower your graphics. I recommend download the updates if you don't have them.

Cannot download the patches? Look here!

I think this is going to help you.

Eh... why do you apologize?? it makes me feel like i write something wrong :-X... Don't even mention it, i should do the same since english isn't my first language.

@Breech
could you post your warnings.log and your dmp file right after the crash?

@donghaijie
could you post your warnings.log and your dmp file right after the crash?

warnings.log is located on My Games\Company of Heroes\.
CoH's dmp file is located on:

WinXP -> C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp(you can access faster if you use the run box with %temp% command).

Win Vista & 7 -> C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp(you can access faster if you use the run box with %temp% command).

Or in weird cases, sometimes in C:\WINDOWS\Temp (you can access faster if you use the run box with temp command).

The dmp file has a generic name but you should be able to identify it by checking the date of creation.

Also, if you have this file with the date-time of the crash please submit it as well:

scarlog.####.####.txt
Located on My Games\Company of Heroes\LogFiles. For SCAR related errors. Replace the "#" for the current date and time.

Hey guys.
One time, (on 9th page) Werty_5792 wrote that his game crashed when enemy tanks entered his base...
"Game crashed with me being russian and an american ally vsing 2 german. it crashed when their tanks had entered my base.
This was with the lastest patches out atm. i've attached requested log and dmp files
cant remember the name of the map but it was one of the custom EF maps (2v2)"

I & my friends are playing EF 3v3 and we have the same problem...
Is it any way to fix it?

p/s nobody answered Werty_5792 for his question =(

@SunnyKlaff
Moved your post because was in the wrong section.

Try lowering your settings. Your hardware is good enough, however CoH is unstable on Ultra-Settings especially on 32 bits OS.

Let me begin to say that i love this mod. I love playing as the russians not only because i am russian :P . This mod really makes the game balanced. Although i am very angry that every game EF crashes. when in the loading screen, in the middle of a game. and all EF maps dont work the only maps that work are original 1v1 maps... :( if even by some miracle the game doesnt crash when i am trying to play on a 2v2+ map I have barely enough time to build my first engineer :( so i am forced to play on 1v1 maps. just cant get enough of russians though so i keep trying. again i'd like to say that i love this mod and if you guys could fix it it would be greatly appreciated by not only me but many others who have the same problem, thanks and thanks for making such a great mod

Hello! I have newly joined this forum. I have a ''weird'' problem.
I patched the ToV to 2.601 but when i open the game it seems i have 2.500. I checked the regedit and it seems same. I got 2.601 but the game is making problems.

I am open to any help.

I've just downloaded Eastern Front yesterday and each game I have played it has crashed about 15-40 minutes in. I could have the graphics set a bit high but seeing as many others seem to be experiencing this problem it appears as though it is a bug?

Usually this kind of crashes happens because the users have 32 bits OS... but other ones are because CoH engine becomes a bit unstable due to all the stuff it has to load. Sometimes helps to use a 64 bits OS.

I have a 32 bits OS I think. Do most people have a 64 bits OS that play this game?

What are your pc specs?

Not great but enough to run the standard Opposing Fronts on high settings without any problems.

Windows XP
Intel Celeron 2.40GHz (2 CPUs)
2GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT, 1GB Memory

Anything else needed?

EF uses more resources than ToV(which uses more resources than OF), hence, that's why the crash happens. Did you get a "temp folder full" error or just crash?

Try using gamebooster (utility). It is quite helpful. I haven't had crashes in ages. Also, you might wanna check your virtual memory settings. If those are low - enlarge the swap file size.

No error messages at all. All of of sudden the game freezes and the sound of the game just keeps repeating over and over. The only thing I can do is manually turn the computer off using the on/off switch on the actual computer.

Yep, downloaded and used the gamebooster facilities yesterday. Didn't seem to do that much though.

Virtual Memory is at 4092mb.

Sounds pretty much like RAM deficiency. Try closing all programs, unneeded ATM. You can monitor your RAM usage through process monitor (ctrl+alt+del), or with a help of some utility like statbar.
Mainly, people tend to stick with anti-virus software, though it is of no use, when the game is running, really. But basically, CLOSE EVERYTHING, unless you really need it.

You need more ram. Usually if you set your settings to low, you should get that error(you don't get it on higher settings because the remaining resources are low, hence it happens like in your case).

No matter how many programs he closes, he will need more ram(unless he has some memory sucking software being used at the time), also, 4GB of virtual memory is enough, it won't help at all to avoid all the crashes but at least you will be able to get a normal crash.

I played on the computer (just recently) with similar processor and just the same ammount of RAM, so I know, what exactly I'm talking about ;).
He needs to monitor, how much RAM his other programmes use. It has to be below 1Gb if I remember correctly. And there's also a RAM usage bar in the game settings he should set at values not exceeding about 1/3 of it's size.

similar? how similar? was faster than his processor? was from different brand but same speed? -> (not a celeron processor but an amd or another intel model)

If you used a celeron in that pc, fair enough; however, if you used a different processor than a celeron with the same speed (2.4 GHz)... that's another story and will affect CoH performance.

Intel Celeron is the worst brand of Intel processors to play video games.

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz, I think. Don't remember the E number, but most likely 6750.
