Still waiting on fix
Anet will most likely not contact you at all, about this issue. They have enough work to do without adding “contact one user about a problem many users are having.” The best you will likely get is someone from Anet posting in this thread, asking you to provide information that you should already know needs to be provided.
At a minimum, you should attach a dxdiat.txt report of your system so that Anet will know exactly what hardware, OS, and driver versions you are running. Beyond that, it would also be helpful if you provide info on your power supply make and model, in case that has anything to do with the crashes. And if you want to be more helpful, you can go into more detail about what you tested and how you tested it, in case that helps give them any insight into the situation or helps them rule out any of the common causes of crashes.
An hour ago I might have fully supported this. Back then I was at my third try of playing today and my quota was 5 crashes in 10 minutes (which includes long loading times to LA). After the 11ths, which was a nice bsod I was ready to throw something against the wall. Now I have calmed down somewhat. It’s only a game after all.
But seriously. I actually had become used to 1-4 crashes/freezes that demand crtl alt del a day ( in several hours of playing), but after the update today it has become way unplayable. Then again, in what kind of game does one have to get used to the game freezing up?
You are obviously missing my point….computer specs from hundreds of people have been posted, thousands of dxsdiag posting, screenshots out the wazoo (I like that word) as well as the same hardware combos that dozens of others are using, etc. This problem transcends my stuff, but I realize they want my specifics to narrow the cause down. The problem is that this has been going on for months with ZERO progress even with hundreds of people posting all of this. Without trying to be annoying, I have the latest drivers for all of my hardware, verified by the people who helped me build my comp, as well as my online searching (and again I have tried older versions too) and I have the same hardware combinations as many others who have the same issue. Long story short—one more list of reports isn’t going to turn the light bulb on for these people. Other than a one on one consultation nothing will be resolved as an issue on my computer from their end, and I have exhaustively eliminated that from every other aspect. I am basically trying this as a last ditch effort that maybe this is the straw that breaks the camel’s back and they fix it.
I can guarantee that if the problem gets solved, your post had absolutely nothing to do with it.
