I've never bought a game and within 1 day had literally every single issue posted on the forums happen to me. Biggest waste of money. First off, after installing the game I went onto a server with a friend and literally no issue at all. After 10 minutes the game crashed to desktop with no error message at all. Not even a crash dump. I went back onto the game and it now takes me about ~10 attempts to log into a server, any server.
What happens is one of three things:
- (This is all in wasteland) I connect to a server and at the first main window (character/team select) the game puts me on the Civilian (purple) team and it won't let me move. I end up just clicking OK to see if I can get into the game and immediately it says Connection to host has been lost.
- The server reacts slowly but actually works when I click on a player slot and moves me to that slot, after clicking OK it loads the server information and right at the end the server times out and 'red chains' for 50+ seconds and just hangs.
- Crash to desktop when trying to load into server. (APPCRASH)
On #3 my entire computer froze and I couldn't do anything so I just force restarted my computer. When attempting to login to steam it just said 'Could not connect to the steam network'. For about 10 minutes and it then finally let me through (I didn't change anything). I checked steam's status as well while I was having this issue and the Steam servers were fine. It was on my end.
I've managed to get into a server just once since this all started after constant reloading of steam and the game. About 5 minutes of playing I wasn't having any issues and then me and my buddy got into a vehicle with him driving. At first the car was driving fine and I wasn't lagging, then out of the blue it started lagging like hell, I told him to stop the car (I heard the engine stop making noise) and about 5 seconds later I crash and it gives me an error saying 'Out of Memory (Requested 0kb).
I have 4GB of Video Memory and 12GB of System Memory, I shouldn't be having these issues. I changed the 2 parameters on the launcher and set both of them to 2047 (2GB) but I cant seem to connect to a server as usual so I can't even test that out.
Out of the 3 friends I have that play this game, I'm the only one that gets any issue at all and it seems I'm somehow getting every issue this game has to offer. {F25330}
