Hi everyone, After 21.02.2012 patch I crash every 2-10 mins when I'm hunting caraboks in academy spawns. We did some testing with some guy and we found out that there can be a problem with some texture used on NPCs or Vehicles which are causing CTDs. View attachment 3441 Things we have tried and didn't help: - downloaded latest NVIDIA patch - tried repair whole EU instalation - cleared shader caches - running entropia in safe mode Caraboks seem to be ok though, I've tried to hunt them on 2 other places, outside of academy and didnt crash at all.

Do you crash when you're not hunting but just walking around? There were some changes with NPCs this update, and there are a lot of NPCs at the academies.
I'm crashing about that often on rocktropia too, I dont think it is planet specific. (20seconds to 15 minutes) (unless is a specific texture that other avatars in the area have which would explain the issue on multiple planets) narfi
Yup, just tested it, was running around at caraboks spawn, without agroing/shooting them and after cca.11 mins it crashed little more info: I've never had any CTDs before, I used to hunt them a lot there before the patch, I know I'm not the only one with this problem. One guy said he has exactly the same problem, he tried everything and it didn't help. I saw another guy crashing right after he walked into "my" spawn, but I crashed few minutes later after him.
I had it yesterday as well, the game just 'vanished' and then logging back in I got the 'didn't shut down normally message'. It was a VU day, and it's not the first time I've had that with a VU, both times I was in different locations doing different things (nowhere near a carabok). I tend to suspect it is more the platform as Narfi says, not planet specific. Edit: from what the OP says though that is happening every few minutes, which is extreme, hope you filed a support case?
I did a lot of hunting outside of academy and I didn't crash at all. So i guess it's something with academy. Yup I've just sent a support case with link to this forum, i hope they will fix it ASAP. Newbies usually hunt this kind of mobs and they don't have as much of patience as I have. Don't wanna see potentional customers leaving this game.
I am crashing since the new update as well. Doesn't matter what I am doing, just crashing and it's getting annoying.
System wide I'd think....I was in Twin Peaks and CTD' at least 10 times last night... Got the same mssgs as OP plus a few "system is not online" although I could login... New patch = same old same old I guess.... Tippin'
Yeah forgot about that, client loader also showed as system offline every time I crashed and went to log back in, but of course it was online
Crashed once at the quarry after the first update, after that no crashes at all. Hunted Caraboks yesterday at their new spawn for a long time with no crashes. Logged in to relentless academy today and within 10 minutes crashed. Same thing in client window... server offline.
Thanks for +rep really appreciate it I got kinda bored of crashes so I went back to Calypso, everything seems to be working there np. After few hours on Caly I went to check Rocktropia (I know, horrible idea, but I wanted to try something new) and I got same problem as on Arkadia, crashes every 5 minutes, in areas where is lot of NPCs. Support didn't reply yet... So I hope they will fix it next week with version update. Btw I got "server offline" message every crash too
