Consistent Crashes

Are the Consistent crashes that I experience in this game, and from what I've read a lot of other people have bought this game have experienced, something that will never change or be fixed until there is a sequel? or maybe even a complete overhaul of the games engine? Or is this a problem that will never change for some people? Since the reinforcement program it seems like the crashes are ceaseless. I'm not trying to troll, I've tried the advice that developers have offered, nothing seems to work. I'm not trying to "Troll". Just asking because I really enjoy this game but the 24/7 crashes are disheartening. :(

    We can't really help you without any infos. Some ppl have issues with some linux distros and some ppl just can't run ns2 due to their low budget hardware.

    But in most cases the real issue is somewhere else.

    Thanks for the lightning fast response ghoul :) I posted a tech support thing last time, it didn't really solve anything though, they said it was a memory leak most likely because my game crashed mid match, usually when I was in mid shooting on marine side, the error report said that "Error: Failed to allocate 536870916 bytes and will now terminate." I have a fairly high end system, can easily run this game at highest settings with at minimum 60 fps. I don't run it on Linux, its windows 7 64 bit Directx 9. I did memory tests and its working flawless.

    Ok i kinda was too lazy to search for old tech threads of yours but yeah memory management issues still exist at all system, just not as frequent as before with the current build. So it gets less and less with every patch.

    There is no real fix for this so far, i have those issues less after switching to DX11. Otherwise you might have to wait for uwe finally fixing this.

    UWE is working on it, but this is nothing you can solve in a few hours.

    In the meantime, the easiest way to minimize the out of memory issues is to turn the texture quality down. Try that and see if it helps.

    its helped a lot with lowering the textures, crashes happen less frequently, I suppose that's all that can really be done for now, thanks for taking ur time to respond guys. :)
