Keiichi Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Hi everyone, Since a while, i got a new pc, i have the problem, that my Lock on 1.12 keeps crashing. It doesnt crash at a certain point or time, it crashes now and then. If i would sum up, it crashs 6 times in 10 hour flying. Thats pretty annoying but i cant fix the problem. If i have mods installed or a fresh installtion, if i use low graphics or full, if i reduce frames or use maximum, it keeps crashing. What i got is a dual core with 4 gig ddr2 ram and a nvidia 9800 gt 512. Perhaps, someone of you had a simillar problem, so i would love, if there is a way to fix it. I tested 2 other graphic cards and one different mainboard but still, it keeps crashing. Next option would be to get a new pc, to solve it. From all my friends, who have simmilar pc system, im the only one, who has this issue. Im pretty pissed about this and want to solve it. Hope, someone can help. Thanks a lot.
Vekkinho Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Welcome to forums Keiichi, calm down no need for a new PC, what you have is more than enough for LOFC 1.12. Now, you left out the most important details such as CPU type and default clock, OS type (Vista or XP and if XP which one: 32bit or 64bit version), FC patch version is it a 1.12a or 1.12b (later being Vista optimized). IIRC there should be a "crash log" in you root LockOn directory so feel free to attach it here so we can take a look what's happening! Cheers! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Keiichi Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Here are the textfiles "errors" and "error" from the Temp folder. http://rapidshare.com/files/214969786/Temp.zip.html I have this CPU, this mainboard, this graphic card and this ram(4 GB total). I use Windows XP 32 bit, SP2. If you click on "Ausführliche Details" you get more detailed information about the components. First i thought, it would be because the mainboard is a crossfire(so for ati) and my graphic card from nvidea, they would not match. But with changing the mainboard, it doesnt help. The new mainboard is already on the way back to the company, i bought it from. It crashes allways the same. It freezes and after 15 - 20 seconds, it goes back to deskop. Hope all this helps. Thanks fot the help. :)
Vekkinho Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Ooph, that's high end hardware you have there mate! There should be no problems with LOFC with that rig! I just took a look at your error.log and I find these lines interesting: DXDefTexture: failed to load samara-red.bmp, D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA. DXDefTexture: failed to load samara-blue.bmp, D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA. DXDefTexture: failed to load samara-cherry.bmp, D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA. DXDefTexture: failed to load TRAVA-2.TGA, D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA. Warning: (effect class Graphics::DXProjLight) must be loaded to step 1, step 0 reported. Warning: (effect class Graphics::DXProjLight) must be loaded to step 1, step 0 reported. So did you update your dx-9c drivers?! Try other (similar dx-8) games and look for similar issues. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Keiichi Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 I updated bios and like you suggested, i have the newest version of direct x 9c. But it still crashses. :(
Keiichi Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Looks like, its my dual core. From a japanese friend, i got some files and a lomac.bat file. With that, it will make "sure", that my lock on will only use one core. I tested it for an hour and it looks like, it doesnt crash with this. So it could be the core. But you know, i dont like it that much, that i need these things to keep my lock on stable. What would be another good idea to solve the problem? I already updated bios. Would be building in another core a good solution? Thanks a lot for the help, Vekkinho. :)

hannibal Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 same here..reinstall.. why dont you go to SP3 for XP while your at it? find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
Keiichi Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 I did reinstall Lock On so often, even formated my pc for it. This wont help. Well i gotta try SP3 next days and see, how its working, then, even though, i dont expect much. :huh: Well, like you can see, that the tool, to run lock on with only one core worked for one day. Would it be a good try to buy another core and test, how its working on it? If it keeps crashing, i still can send the new core back to where i bought it.
Kuky Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Keiichi, google for IntelBurnTest tool and download this utility and test your CPU/MB/RAM for stability. If your machine does not give any errors while running this stress test (this is the best stress test tool I found anywhere and really reliable to tell you if your system is properly stable or not) Please try and report back. You can get the utility here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/IntelBurnTest-v1.6-download-2047.html Instruction on how to use it should be in the readme and it's pretty easy to use. As far as I remeber when I used it to test my machine back few months ago it helped me see what settings were good when overclocking. PS: By the way, are you overclocking your CPU or VGA at all? Also double check your CPU is not overheating. PC specs: Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR
Keiichi Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 Conclusion: Your PC has succsessfully passed Linpack testing. Temperatur of CPU is on 42 - 43 °C when Lock On running on full performance, GPU is on 49 - 50 °C. Im not overclocking everything, btw. Im realy getting out of ideas, what i could do(without getting a new pc). :( I hope, someone can help me further. :huh: Thanks a lot for the help.
Keiichi Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Ok since one day, i have updated to SP3. And i have already interesting developments. I did fly for ~ 2.5 hours and no crash yet. Is there this differenz between SP2 and SP3 in Lock On? Well i continue testing and see, what´ll happen. :)
redwun Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Had lomac for about 4-5 yrs now .my lo mac usually freezes too after a few hours of play almost always. lock on has issues it always has i hear most people in lobby complain that game crashes of freezes up. usually starts out for me getting more choppy and more and frame rate drops ti the point where its less than 1 frame per sec till complete freeze wheather i host or not . only thing i can do is ctrl alt del end task which it says cpu usage is very high. win xp pro 2.66ghz p4 1gig 1066 rambus ram 2@80gig hd's in raid config gigabyte 8IHXP mobo nvidia GF 7600 gs 512mb vid card AGP. built this rig in 2001-2 and it had kicked A** for a long while. wish i knew why it keep doing this Edited April 12, 2009 by redwun typo
