Fatal error whenever I'm in a populated area

[freddiebox]

It doesn't matter what area or city, as long as it got a population of around ten+ players. The game will at random just freeze for approximately 15 seconds or more and then crash to the desktop with the fatal error message. Sometimes if lucky the game returns to normal after a couple of seconds frozen, but only to repeat the same over and over again until I leave the populated area. Some people also seem to have this problem but with more serious consequences, e.g. display drivers stop working, BSODs, etc.

Show us the crash log pls

[Ashley]

Define populated - Rotterdam populated or a 10 person town populated?

[freddiebox]

Show us the crash log pls

I don't have a crash log of the most recent crash caused by this as I have been avoiding unnecessarily highly populated cities lately due to this, but I will make sure to post it when I crash again.

It doesn't matter what area or city, as long as it got a population of around ten+ players. It happens at random.

Try to update your drivers of your videocard.

Try to update your drivers of your videocard.

I use the latest 347.88 video driver. These problems started way before 0.1.5 launched, so it is not a driver related issue, but it has become more and more common after the first version of 0.1.5.

Try to increase your paging file. And find some video about PC optimization.

Yeah sounds familiar. I figured that the game is more likely to crash when using the cabin view in stead of outside view. (Press 9)

So I've heard as well, never tried it though. Will do next time I enter a city. I find it difficult to steer with my mouse in outside view though.

Do you have hugh amount of programs that are running in the back ground?

I have notest that ets2 can use allot of ram memory i did have that problem crashing at rotterdam

Now i have closed some background programs it works for me tho

It is harder indeed but it's a matter of getting used to it.. Just don't drive too fast and you'll be good

No, nothing extremely huge that would slow down or affect other applications.

[xhavefunx]

^ Me neither. The cause lies somewhere else

i got this aswell your not the only one i'm done with it i'm gonna drive only when there is a better version

[HeyI'mAmethyst]

Here here! Same problem here as well. It will definitely crash on EU1 when entering the Rotterdam area, though on EU2 you can drive around a bit more, but a crash is inevitable for both servers.

It even happens spontaneously. Once i was turning into a pickup/dropoff warehouse, and just as I was entering it, it freezed, then crashed.

The UK is a barren wasteland. Might only play there.

Hello Freddiebox,

What causes it is your PC/laptop having to load so many textures and graphics all in the one go, which is why when you enter a large city, your game tends to slow down (lag). The fix for this could mean upgrading your graphics card, ram or VGA. Possibly even your operating system as I see you run Windows 7. Depending on how old your computer is, it will continue to cause issues through its time. It could also be as simple as a computer tuneup or defrag. If you look into any sort of computer changing, you may want to thoroughly read what everything does, as no one else will take responsiblity if your computer completely stops. If you cannot afford or wish to change anything, you may just have to stick out of travelling into populated areas.

Hope this helps, Cal

Okay, don´t like you own post His computer will handle ets2 verry good if you red his first post. Im maybe with Warrior, somtimes ets2mp tends to eat ram. I´ve got this issue to, close backround programs/ buy one more RAM stick and this problem will be gone!

Someone suggested closing background apps but Freddiebox replied with there isn't any that eat up much memory.

[[S.PLH]Warrior]

if you press Ctrl alt del and activate task master you will be able to see how much ram you use normally

 

i have 6gb of ram normally i use like 40-50% ram depend on the programs that are running

now when i enter ets2mp the ram will go up to 70-80%

 

i have also notest that google chrome have several background programs running that eat also much ram

so i did test it again now with all the programs closed with minimum open i got 30-40% normal and when i get ingame 60-70%

 

so in this you have 2 choices buy more ram or close all the programs that eat allot of ram and they are not just random programs

but you see that when you press Ctrl alt del

Problem always active?..

Hey Freddiebox,

 

It's almost been a week since you last posted. Can you please confirm whether or not this problem still exists?

I have the same problem.

it's not only related to your PC specs.

It's also related ETS2MP does NOT support 64bit.
That is the main problem!

@ #BEL miniME

 

it's 50/50 i think but i have notice since latest update i did have not have any crashes at populated areas

and also did look to my ram consumption and notice also that my ram wasn't that high as before i played ets2mp

but again i did had less programs running at that time
