tgp1994 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Hi everyone, I've always felt like my graphics card has been a little dodgy, even after I had it replaced by the manufacturer. ETS2MP does it's usual crashing routine once in awhile, typically it seems in populated areas, which I guess would be more software than hardware. However, I know ETS2MP has officially crashed when my displays start glitching - ETS2's screen might glitch a little, then firefox on my other screen might either show some graphical issues or crash outright. Event Viewer will be spammed notifying me that the AMD graphics driver has crashed. I'm curious - when ETS2MP crashes for you, does your display driver crash as well, or is it just me?
delboyspencer Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 It might just be you not sure, I was having a display driver issue but it turned out to be my system being overclocked. It could also be the AMD card you are using but I could be wrong. I always use Nvidia cards and ETS2 runs great on max settings and no more crashes.

tgp1994 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Posted March 30, 2015 What's weird is ETS2 runs great for me too, in fact all games do. It seems like it's just ETS2MP that somehow causes this crash, even though temps are fine and my card isn't overclocked. I'm wondering then if this MP crash also somehow triggers a driver crash...
Haulvoc Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 I think it is overheating (I had it too with an older nvidia card). Did it come with software to monitor temperatures? If not, download and install SpeedFan and run it on your other monitor while you are playing to check the temperature of your video card. If it turns out to be overheating you should first open up your computer and remove dust from all fans and cooling elements. If that does not solve it you may need a new case with more fans or switch to liquid cooling.
tgp1994 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Posted March 30, 2015 I wish it were as simple as high temps, and even though the strange artifacting would almost seem to indicate it as such, temps does not appear to be the case. I've been monitoring them through HWiNFO and everything seems to be in normal ranges.
Haulvoc Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Well since you already had your card replaced, it must be a faulty motherboard. Try moving the card to another slot.
tgp1994 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Posted March 30, 2015 I guess I wasn't really expecting to be troubleshooting my card in this thread... I take it then that nobody else's graphics drivers have been crashing while playing multiplayer?
Haulvoc Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Oh right, that was the original question. My final answer is short and simple: Nope. I'm using an nvidia card though.
tgp1994 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Posted March 30, 2015 Alright, thank you for your help though Haulvoc I wonder though how many people experience a crash in ETS2MP but don't notice the popup saying their driver crashed as well? I never see it, but only noticed once I opened Event Viewer...

tgp1994 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Posted April 8, 2015 I wanted to add to this topic that someone else has reported their display driver crashing, but they sadly did not mention what driver they have... If your display driver is crashing, please mention it here!
Takumi Fujiwara 86 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 I have an AMD card (R7770) and I have no issues once so ever
HeyI'mAmethyst Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 I have an AMD R9 280x. I get 2 types of crashes playing ETS2MP: One that shows the 'Fatal error' message box, and one that CTD but audio still plays, which I have to go close via CTRL SHIFT ESC, which then upon launch of another game gives me the BSOD. I can play other games fine if the message box appears. I always restart if I crash without the message box.

HeyI'mAmethyst Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Ah yes forgot to say I have the latest drivers (14.something)
RayRay5 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 My driver only crashes on something between high and ultra and higher settings (nvidia 347.88 = latest). On high or lower not. "Just because others break rules, does not grant you the permission to break the rules as well" Please drive respectful on the servers. Thank you!
tgp1994 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Posted April 8, 2015 Same problem here (R9 280x user). Ah yes forgot to say I have the latest drivers (14.something) What OS are you guys running? Any messages in Event Viewer about the display driver crashing?
freddiebox Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Been hearing from alot of friends of mine getting BSODs while entering populated cities. So it is clearly something going on with the client. Never had any issues myself, GTX760. Staying away from Amsterdam and Rotterdam whenever I can though for obvious reasons, and this.
HeyI'mAmethyst Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 What OS are you guys running? Any messages in Event Viewer about the display driver crashing? Windows 7 Home Premium. I'll post any event viewer thingies once I get the crash that can lead to the BSOD.
scaNIaCK Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 I haven't been getting graphics card errors of any sort, and in SP I can go through even some very complex texture areas from mods which are ok. So in my case the 60 second+ freezes (more than crashes) in the busiest cities must just be memory problems I'm guessing. Still a pain and I wish I had some ideas about how to cure it, but then after watching some admin streams on Twitch, even with really high end systems it still happens to them as well.
Ashley Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Have had 0 graphics driver related issues to ETS2 or ETS2MP, so I'm not sure what could cause it. I've obviously had the small "autosave" freezes, which can range between 2 and 10 seconds. How frequently does yours crash? Reporting a Player | Appeal your Ban | Visit our Support System | Our Rules
HeyI'mAmethyst Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 It crashes every time I enter the Rotterdam area. Some have that crashes that can lead to the BSOD (which is most likely graphics driver related) some show the "fatal error send log to devs etc etc" message, which don't lead to a BSOD. And I can get the freezes in certain areas such as before the junctions when entering the Rotterdam area. Its hit and miss if I get past all of them, which so far its all been miss.

I have the same problem, but it never give me a BSOD or anything related to my video driver. The game freeze for around 20 seconds, and crash me to the desktop with a fatal error while inside a populated city. http://forum.ets2mp.com/index.php?/topic/10749-fatal-error-every-time-i-enter-a-city/

If the box appears I can play other games completely fine. Its strange because at the starting place for a big ETR convoy I was lagging but not crashing. There were a similar amount of players of that of Rotterdam as well. It only seems to crash whenever I enter Rotterdam and sometimes spontaneously.

There were a similar amount of players of that of Rotterdam as well. It only seems to crash whenever I enter Rotterdam and sometimes spontaneously. Now that's something to think about. I've had this problem before with the error window not showing up as well, but never tried to launch another game immediately after the crash. This got me worried. Perhaps the crash don't close the game fully, and leave a high memory usage process running in the background interfering with whatever application you try to run?
