Its not a direct X problem. Cause if it was other games would be unstable.

Got the same problem, updated my ATI driver to catalyst 10.1, and lowering ther resolution seem able to prolong playing the game around 2 hours before it freezes.



*sigh* still no response from bioware? Probably we need to bump this topic every hour or so

I got Kim from bioware to agree to look into it. All we can do is wait and pray to our favorite god or gods.

I have to join the club, my computer crashes every 15 minutes in the game. i hope we get a solution soon.

[soulsurfer182]

I will join this too, but with a slightly different crash. For my PC (Intel Q6600 Quad Core, Nvidia 8800 GT 1 GB, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 64 Bit, two 22" Flatscreens) the game (ME2 only!!) crashes on almost every game exit. As long as I am playing, most time its ok, only few random crashes. With ME1 this was all no problem, I even had different programs running at the same time. For ME2 even with a new started computer and none other programm running, it crashes especially on exiting the game, really confusing. From time to time I also loose my keyboard setup ingame as well as the achievements (very dissapointing...). At the beginning of the game, this all was no problem, even switching between prgrams with ALT+Tab did not cause any crash. If I now try it: crash.

In between I updated my Nvidia driver, at first it seems all ok, but only for half a day, then the problems returned. Now I'm really upset with this and I cannot understand that a problem like this that happens to such many users didn't ever happen in beta-test oder for the bioware tech people.

NewMessageN00b, i have a GeForce 8600GT and im also having problems. I would like to try this driver you mentioned. could you give me a download link for it? I tried to find it, but didn´t :/ .



Thanks

Thank you zulu for your efforts in this.



I have a new 4890 so I dont know that its an "old card" issue. For those not having problems, i'm willing to bet you'll find more and more higher end cards eventually having problems. It seems to wear down the gpu. By lowering settings, underclocking, etc it's not really solving the problem and may only do so temporarily. Thats my guess considering the vast wide selection of cards being used and the variability on when it begins to occur. Once it starts occuring though, it doesnt stop.



I havent played since posting here originally and probably wont until a patch is released or bioware addresses it. I wont test my own card at my own risk. That's what we pay bioware for their games for.

I have got the problem, and results from my testing seem.... inconsistent.



Sometimes it will freeze to a black screen 10 seconds after getting into the game, and sometimes I can play for an hour before it appears. When the black screen appears, sound might keep playing for 10 seconds, and afterwords my whole computer will freeze; Manual shutdown is the only way to get out of this situation. I just bought this game today and I really enjoyed the first one, and this major crashing issue is hampering my enjoyment. Joinin' the club sadly.



Specs for reference: Radeon HD 4890, Phenom II x4 940 3.0ghz, 4gb DDR2 Ram, 1920x1080.

I'm also having crash problems... Sometimes the game crashes after one minute, sometimes after 2 hours... What's really strange is that the game started to crash about two days ago and I've been playing the game for 2 weeks (used to run very smoothly). I didn't modify anything these days as I only turned on the computer to play Mass effect 2 (maybe it's a sign I should quit it, who knows xD)...



Specs: Radeon HD 4800 series, Intel Core2 Quad 2.33GHz, 4gb Ram, Windows 7 32 bit

[Amenirdis]

I've got the exact same problem as swlotr. It used to run perfectly fine for quite a long time. Now it sometimes stutters and crashes very often after an hour, sometimes already after a few minutes. Very annoying. Letting ME2 run on only one CPU core made it slightly better - I can Alt-Tab in and out now. But running it on both cores crashes my pc completely.
I will start a new Shepard soon - I'm curious if it will run smoothly for a while again.

Edit for specs: Win7 64bit - 6 GB DDR2 Ram - GForce 7900GTO (no overheating), Intel Core2Duo.

It seems, that there is no relation between the GPUs CPUs or anything else. I really hope to hear back from bioware sometime in the next few days.

[Delta262]

i'm having the same problem on my desktop, but for some reason it runs fine on my laptop..

[Morekian]

I have encountered a similar problem in both games! To be more precise, in ME1, every now and then i got graphics freeze, followed by an ATI window notification, saying that the graphics card was reset, cause it stopped responding to driver instructions. After 30 seconds or so, the display changes back to the game and i continue playing. It seems that if u stick to the original graphic settings, it will prolong your gametime. For now this is the only safe suggestion i can make.

In ME2 i get the same message only in dialogs-cut scenes so far.

[swlotr]

It seems I've solved my problem. I started windows with the kernel debugger turned on and I played the game for 6 hours without a single crash. Time to keep ruining my life with videogames!! :D:D

Can you tell me how to do that? Thanks!

[Ohsirus]

I managed to finish the last few missions (buggiest) by taking my pc apart and doing some spring cleaning (Dusting). Oddly I didnt have one crash till the end and when the crashes started I was reloading about every 10 minutes.

[swlotr]

To turn on the kernel debugger u have to: go to start menu, type in "cmd", open it by right-clicking and choosing "Run as adminstrator", write: bcdedit -debug on, press enter and reboot. That's it.

Update time...I upgraded my power supply to a Corsair 650w PSU (old one was a generic 400w), and that didn't solve anything, thought maybe it was a voltage issue from a dying PSU. After continuing to experience display driver crashes with my old games, and even during less instensive activities like playing a video or surfing the net, I decided it was probably my 8800GT that was partially fried. Figured I'd get away from NVIDIA and go with an XFX Radeon HD 4890...from all the reviews, seemed like a very good card at an affordable price. Turns out I needed the new PSU to power this thing anyway, takes 2 6-pin PCI-e power connections and a recommended 500w PSU. Anyway, I installed it the other night and haven't experienced any crashes whatsoever, from either old games or ME2, which I've been playing about 3 hours now with every setting maxed out, smooth as can be. 

I still find it rather coincidental that my graphic issues began after playing ME2 for a couple hours...maybe my card was dying and ME2 just pushed it over the edge, who knows. But so far so good with the new setup.

I'm facing the same problem right now. Until yesterday everything was fine. No problems, no stuttering, nothin. I was able to play it on the highest settings without any trouble...and then right after I've entered the last mission ME2 started to create blackscreens.

Nothing has been changed on my rig within the last 2 weeks, except for installing ME2.



My specs are:

AMD Phenom 9850 Quad 2.5 GHz Black edition (not overclocked)

4 gigs ram

NVidia GeForce GTX 280 (not overclocked)

Vista 64bit

Drivers are up-to-date and so far I've never had any problems like that with any other kind of game...
