[CRASHES] very often, random causes

[La_Sardine]

HI. I'm posting there in addition to my post in the French forum

I have a big problem that really annoys me: the game crashes every 5-6 minutes! It's more a freeze then a crash because i have to ctrl-alt-del to kill the app. So btw, there are no crashlogs, only ManiaPlanetLogs, in which we already can read weird things:

or, in another log in which the game crashed in the end of new map loading:

Otherwize, i have already decuced from the different crashes that the problem is not due to my 1Gb Nvidia Geforce GTX 260M (i use a laptop equippet with a T9600 core2duo@2.80GHz, 4Gb ram, win7)


Here are my ManiaPlanetLogs: http://www.scribd.com/my_document_collections/3221986 (i'm not sure you're able to read'em, please tell me (: )

edit: i unhopefully guess that there are at least 2 issues: one occurs randomly, one occurs when i use my kbd (i already checked the emulate cursor option)... crap

[La_Sardine]

OK i got it!

The issue is patently due to the AGP usage:

Code: Select all

[Sys] Gpu Memory Video MBytes = 1 006
[Sys] Gpu Memory   Agp MBytes = 1 792
[Sys] Gpu Memory guessing the dedicated is really faster (card)

I had put the AGP usage to 26%, then 50%, then 75%, thinking it would fix some lag issues and highen (this word exist?) my FPS, but it is obviously slower and made my game grash... I'm not sure it wont crash after a bit more playtime, but at lest it's not crashing every 5 min!

I used AGP mainly to prevent the game from starting to lag repetitively every 4-5 sec (slowdown, then back to normal, unplayable). I hope the problem with not occur anymore as i reduced the config...

Well, i got the solution: Put AGP to 0%!

Thank you for your help m8s lol



EDIT:

Well, the problem persists, but is much more random: sometimes i crash 4times in 5mn, sometimes i dont crash for 2 hours... I really don't know where the problem comes from...
It seems like the crash frequency depends on the server i join: i crashed 4time in 5mn in a friend's personnal serv, located less than 20km from me, and i raraly crash on other near-to-me servers...

any idea?
