Same problem here ..... I launch normaly the game and after the spawn it takes about .... 10-15 seconds to crash .. Its also weird cause I get no lagg and e.t.c and i was playing normally before with no crashes ..
FYI, the nVidia drivers don't crash the client to the desktop, they simply crash themselves. Then they reboot and all is normal. I haven't yet experienced this CTD.
Came here to post this exact topic I don't have too many issues normally, but I swear, every time I get my scythe, I'll play for 5 minutes and just as I'm doing very very very well on a spree of 10+ people, my game will crash. I'll quickly log back on to get another and the same thing happens. This just happened now 3 times in a row. I'm not sure if I feel like seeing if it will happen a forth time lol. It's been especially bad for me after this last patch. Also, when the game crashed the second time, it actually froze up. I'm not sure if it was the game's fault entirely, as my little program DualMonitor that spans my taskbar also had an issue during the crash and force closed. This is only the second time that has happened to me. The first I believe was wayyyy back in beta. However, on a good note, for the duration the game stays stable, I hardly ever drop below 28-or-so fps even in the most intense air or techplant fights.
I'm actually getting a lot more crashes, freezes, hitching, and disconnects since the patch today. Every patch for the past few months has been making this game less and less stable.
