    The launcher is fine, i got in the game and the game works normally, no lags, no video/audio issue, but suddenly the screen just turn black after around 10 minutes, and this happen EVERYTIME since yesterday. not only the game crashed, it crashed my PC too.. i cant open the task manager, alt-tab/ctrl-alt-del doesn't work. the only thing i can do is push the reset button manually.
    i dont think this is a spec issue unless the system req is changed in the past 2 days coz ive been playing DCUO since 2012 with this same PC and never had any issue like this before until Saturday morning yesterday.
    its also not an account issue, coz when i logged with another account the problem still occurs.
    i already uninstall and re-install the game but nothing changed. and also i test with other programs/games in my comp but only DCUO that crashed.

    any ideas whats goin on? or perhaps any other user have the same issue?

    thanks in advance

    Seems like your PC is overheating. Check the temperature of your GPU and CPU while playing DCUO.

    yeah.. its because of overheating.. my GPU temp increase up to 90 degrees lool no wonder it crashed. then i open the cpu, and add an extra fan, the temp is stable at 64-66 and i can play without any issue for hours...

    thanks a lot :)

    still doesn't know why only DCUO overheats my PC tho. cos when i play/run other programs which are "heavier" than DCUO my PC seems to be just fine..
    ah well, guess it doesn't matter now

    Try Planetside 2. That is certainly tougher than DCUO for a PC to run :D.

    Clean your PC regulary from dust and replace the heat paste after several years ;).
