Ok so I can play and login just fine and I have no errors. I can hear everything play everything and basically do anything. Problem...after about 20 minutes my game just ends!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! So I could be in the clockworks arcade place playing alone or with other people and then it ends. Without errors or nothing. I'm really confused! I want to be able to play for longer then 20 minutes at a time! I can't tell what the problem is.... I did notice TWO things however:
1: Around the time the game ended I would check the computer just with touch and noticed that it was pretty dang hot. I tried many ways to cool it down and tried using compressed air to clear out all vents.
2: As soon as I turned on the computer I would get an error saying that "driver igfx stopped responding but recovered". Do you think this could be a reason? I play on laptop intel windows vista.
PLEASE HELP I REALLY LIKE THIS GAME BUT I KEEP LOGGING OUT.
*I remember when I was playing with some other random people I logged out. When I logged back on my game immediately joined back into the game. I asked the other players if they saw me log off. They said that they saw that I disconnected on their end. Could this also possibly be a network problem?*
Please help me I'm begging every single one of you!!
Game Crashes after about 20 minutes!
Ok so I tried playing and I realized that it is not a heating problem. This time the game ended about 5 minutes in instead of 20. Also, when it closed the computer gave me an error saying that there igfx stopped responding and that it recovered. So NOW I KNOW THAT IT IS THE DRIVERS FAULT! But what is this mysterious driver? A better question, how can I fix it? Please help me I REALLY WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME :(. *P.S. The computer WAS NOT HOT so it wasn't a heating problem.
the PID crash logs should help show what it crashed in. And whats your video card?
It might be the culprit here. Press Start -> dxdiag -> check the Display tab then tell me what kind and how much graphic card memory your lappy has.
Also, try to update your graphic card's driver: Start -> Device Manager -> Display Adapter -> Right click on [Graphic card's name here] -> Driver -> Update.
Hope that fix your lappy.
If you don't know how to check the dxdiag just give me the laptop's model, i'll look it up myself.
Ok So I tried updating and it said that my card was up to date. Also my card type is: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family. I know nothing special but it lets me runs the simple stuff and some other stuff. My approx. total memory is: 358 mb. Hope this helps...
EDIT: I went into Program Reports and Solutions and they told me that they found my problem. Apparently my video card driver is MISSING?? WTF? So I went to the link that the program reports and solutions place told me to go and I'm currently downloading an updated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver. WISH ME LUCK THAT IT WORKS!
Your very lucky. Intel graphics aren't officially supported by the game, and most of the time won't even run it. Wish you the best of luck.
GOOD NEWS! IT WORKS NOW! WOOT! Alright so what did it was either that download of the Intels Accelerator driver or I clicked the compatibility option under the ingame settings. Either way, IT WORKS NOW AND THAT'S GREAT! I love this game so much and if you wanna play with me we can work together to get lots of CROWNS :D. BTW I'm a noob just warning you... P.S. I hope that you guys can keep this post up because on many other forums I noticed people had my same exact problem and hope this helps. If you guys can keep this post up that would be great :D. Anyways thanks again guys for the help. REALLY APPRECIATE IT XD
If you look at the SK folder, you'll probably see a bunch of hs_errPID####.log files from the crashes. If you suspect its a heat issue, download some temp monitoring programs like RealTemp (for CPU) and MSIafterburner or EVGA precision (For GPU)
