Frequent Maniaplanet crashes/freezes

Post by andrus »

Since upgrading from win xp 32bit to win 8.1 64bit i've been experiencing maniaplanet crashes extremely frequenty, every 10 - 20 minutes. This so far happened when:
-changing map on server
-starting next combo round
-trying to calculate shadows
-saving map after its done (drove me mad)
-receiving/sending a message.

It only happens at the start/end of procedure, so when I'm playing it's ok, but who knows if MP won't crash when the round ends. This causes suspending for 4 mins...

When crashed black MP window occupies all the screen and is 'forced on top' so I often have to restart my computer.

No crash log because it didn't create any.

In first step I would recommend you to run ManiaPlanet in compatibilty mode for Windows XP SP3, as this already helped a few people.
And also make sure your PC is not throttled. ManiaPlanet has more lag while loading or processing things when Windows is set to balanced energy mode, or if you have a motherboard utility that checks for energy saving.

If you still have issues, please try the debug version, it might show what happens just before the crash.
