Downloading, maybe I'll have your luck and finally be able to play as a biotic

I am hoping the same goes for people having these issues on Nvidia cards. Maybe it is all driver related? I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope Nvidia comes out with a new driver soon though they tend to be pretty slow with that at times...

Didn't work for me Q_Q Only tried once though, might try again under different conditions, but for now, hopes are grounded again

Since I lowered my resolution to 1280x1024 (windowed) I've not had a single black screen crash. Dunno if this works for others having the problem but I'd give it a try.



I also turned the XMP memory profile back on (which was the first thing I disabled) and it's still been stable. I have 12GB of RAM so I think people who are taking memory out of their system may be chasing a red herring.



I continue to believe that the game is hitting some issue somewhere in drivers or DirectX and it's hard to think nobody saw this during testing.



OTOH there's a seeming 100% reproducible lockup bug in the mining game which some people hit almost straightaway. Sadly, I think it's safe to say that testing this game on PC wasn't much of a priority.

zulu21, is the game still working alright with you?

After updated the driver, try setting resolution to max, and I can get past those areas that gave me a crash before.

However in certain instances, when I use power, the game sort of crashing, and the catalyst vpu recovery will pop up, but then I can always continue the game afterwards without rebooting the game.

Guess, I'm going to put the game on hold again, not taking chances damaging my cards.

Gonna try that now, zulu. Looks like new catalyst drivers were put out a couple days ago. Way to go ATI!! So i'll see how it runs and let this board know. I've also reduced my settings back to default and 1650 res. so hopefully that will all help.

Nvidia users. Just a tip:

[Thornbreaker]

Just played an hour straight, no issues. Running at 1650 res, with shadows, bloom, and lighting on default or off.

[zulu21]

Hi everybody! Its still going strong for me. I originally put all the settings on low and set it to a low resolution but Ive been slowly bumping the settings up and no problem. I'm up to my precrash settings and no problems. I'm going to keep bumping them up since my new GPU is more powerfull then my old one.



I wonder why this is int working for everyone. Um, so its not entirely a driver issue.

[Madrigathe]

At least the game is working for some people now, that means there may yet be hope for the galaxy

As for me, I've tried uninstalling the old drivers, installing the new catalyst 10.2 drivers and changing resolution and settings to the lowest. No luck yet, the game

crashes, stutters and gives the error message: "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has succesfully recovered."

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.

Thank you very much, swlotr. While ME2 is still not running as perfect as before, I have at least been able now to finish the game. So thanks again!

Okay well i played another 1.5 hours and had a crash. Sound kept playing, but screen went black. Could just be a glitch/bug this time though. Hit the spacebar to pop up and shoot and it just froze, during the Omega mission for the scientist.

[AevnsGrandpa]

Well after reading about half the pages here I wanted to put out there and what you all thought about my specs. To me it meets the min but i have the issue where the monitor goes dark right after I select to play the game and my laptop reboots. Core 2 Duo 2.0gig, ATI x1600 mobile 512mb, 2GB ram. Kinda old but bought a new 23" monitor and wanted to get a new game!

[baka_tenshi]

Looks like they are going to release a patch, but from the description, they are overlooking this issue. ;_;

[exxxed]

Yeah i've read the fixes in the parch... never heard of those problems before.



Ahh well there's still hope.

What i've tried and kind of worked for me was using the task manager to turn off everything but the essential processes and using Tuneup Utilities' Turbo Mode (which temporarily disables updates unscheduled processes anti-virus and such).

Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, but i have no idea what else to do, this way i have a strong chance of playing for more than 2 hours.



Now i'm currently trying Jed Q's tip for nvidia users:

Cheers!

Had a second crash within 10 minutes of play at the 1650. Well, for some reason Dynamic lighting 3 was on. I turned that to default, dropped res to 12XX by 1024 and played a couple hours straight last night without a crash. It may be it doesnt like 16:10 res, or it could be the dynamic lighting.



Or it could just be sucky game design hehe. Game still looks good at 1024.

[lutenint]

Same problem here



Nvidia Geforce 9800Gt

[Thornbreaker]

Ugh...was doing really well all day. No crashes, until I decided to do the Tali mission...crashes every 10 minutes there. Zulu, let me know if you have tried this mission and been able to do it without crashing.



The config utility somewhere along the way changed the dynamic ligting back to 3. I set it to 1 though and it still crashed. So duno really whats causing it.

[exxxed]

I think i made a breakthrough, for me at least, so here it is:



I found that allot of games using UE3 have a problem with newer nvidia drivers, so what i did is revert back to version 186 of the driver, after that i decided to update back to 196 BETA without using Driver Sweeper.



After that i checked my hardware for issues using varied applications, and all showed me that there was nothing wrong, so i decided to install 3D Mark Vantage and see how my hardware performs, during the installation i noticed that 3D Mark was updating C++ and allot of directx dlls, i thought "ahh well, this can't make much difference", but it did, dunno exactly what, but my game doesn't crash anymore (nor BSOD).



I have been playing for 6 hours straight with only minor hiccups from high CPU usage (96-100%).



I do believe that a certain Windows 7 process conflicts with my audio driver or game (Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation), it always has a high CPU usage (high for a process which basically does nothing 20-26 %).



Anyway during my searches in the BSOD matter found a piece of information which might come in handy to some:

Cheers, and i hope i shed some light in this matter, good luck!

I have a Radeon 5770 and was experiencing frequent and radom black screen hangs. I have now been playing for 8hrs with no hangs (fingers crossed). My solution was updating to Catalyst 10.2 and most importantly, downloading and installing the latest Direct X End-user runtime update. A limk can be found here...

Best of luck everyone!

You mean the recruitment mission? I played it last night, no problems.


Thats right like Warrenk95, I also installed the latest directx drivers. Have you tried that Thornbreaker?

So they released the patch and guess what?



They didn't even address the issue.
