Elite Crashes

yessir, patch didn't fix a thing for me. im still awaiting a response to my ticket i opened as well

Just out of curiosity, are all of you guys running this through Steam and if so have you verified integrity of game cache yet?

I know it's a long shot but thought I'd ask anyway.

Yes I'm through steam. I have no idea whale the last part means. The flux capacitor is capacitating

If you left click on the game in Steam and select "Properties" there should be in an option in there somewhere to verify integrity of game cache or verify files or something (can't remember).

It's just a simple check to ensure you have all the files you need and there's nothing wrong with them. If Steam finds any issues it will automatically re-download effected files.

I've seen it fix a few of my games previously so I thought it may be a good idea to try and see if it helps you guys at all.

i validated the game cache and its all good to go. after playing earlier and having crashes every 5 mins i quit and played something else. the geforce app alerted me that there was a new driver update and i let it install. I haven't tried it after that but i can almost guarantee that its still just going to crash again. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with my card or drivers and that it is all game updates related. Can't believe they haven't fixed it yet, really wish they would because at this point the game is COMPLETELY unplayable.

I totally understand your frustration here NL and feel for you. The problem is that for every guy like you there is at least one guy like me not experiencing issues of any kind.

If it was a cut and dry case of there being client wide issues then it would be easy to get to the bottom of but when so many of us are not having issues that work becomes more difficult.

I have read reference to 2 files having issues on the ED Forums so I'll investigate that a bit more.

Having said that, I'm personally not using any of the GeForce Experience stuff. All I have is PhysX, Display Drivers and I think that's it. Whether or not this has anything to do with anything I have no idea, just thought I'd mention it.

Lastly I can say without hesitation that I cannot launch ED in 64 Bit Mode at all. I can launch it in 32 Bit Mode but that's the only way.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with Horizons (my guess is it does) as owning Horizons means no need to launch ED Launch only Horizons Launch.

Are you guys running Overclocked video cards? Even Factory OC? a lot of games can freak out because of this and I have seen posts about Elite in particular. If you are, try going to a default setting and see if that helps.

Wasn't this taken care of in the last patch or is it still an issue?

Kyle made me check it out the other day and i played for like 15-20 mins then let it sit in station for 10-15 mins and i didnt crash, so im assuming its now fixed. im running an overclocked EVGA GTX 980.
