Crashing still occuring post update

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Have you guys tried with the NVIDIA 275.33 driver version? It could be that other driver versions don't like the combination of recent RIFT optimizations and IS hijacking all D3D calls to display the IS overlays.

See above with regards to NVidia vs ATI -- I have one box with each type of graphics card and are (with the exception of the disk subsystem) identical in CPU/motherboard/RAM/etc..

Also, it could be interesting to see if you guys also have problems with FRAPS, since it does a similar D3D-hijacking as IS does?

Hmm...an interesting thought. I don't have fraps but I may download the trial version and see what it does.

I'm running 260.99 on my NVidia and Catalyst 11.8 on my ATI. Just to reiterate, I played for almost an hour with no crashes with ISBoxer unloaded (used Octopus instead). With ISBoxer running, 4 of 5 clients crashed within 60 seconds of each other and all in 11-18 minutes.

I'm sure it'll get figured out soon but considering how many different drivers, hardware solutions and platforms this is failing under, I seriously doubt it has anything to do with video drivers.

Is Octopus still available?

I may need to setup HKN net again as I am taking part in the extra-life.org 24 hour event this coming weekend and I need to have something in place that works.

Running one client with ISBoxer still crashes.

I'm working on tracking this down, but when I kill rifterrorhandler.exe and attach a debugger I'm not getting any crashes. And of course, the rift error handler won't share any of its information it will only send it to Trion and there doesn't seem to be a log of it.

So... if anyone wants to try killing the rifterrorhandler.exe processes (there is one per instance of rift.exe) and see if the crashes stop for them too... report back

I will do that now. After my test with older ati drivers fails.

I'll give this a shot when I get home tonight.

Perhaps try that packet sniffer tool (pcap or something) and see if the data rifterrorhandler.exe sends out is readable?

Running 4 clients right now with the error handler disabled. Will report back with results

I still crash at the 15/16 minute mark even with the Error thing disabled.

Ok, all clients still crashed with the error handler disabled
