My rof crashes now and then about once every two hours.

I have a brand new mashine running win 7 64 bit.

Is this normal or do I have some kind of driver issue or other?

I do not have problems in other games like a-10, crysis 2 or withcer 2. So I do not believe that it is the hardware overheating.

ROF used to fall over quite often...but for about a year its been pretty good, and for the last 6 months its been rock solid with not one crash.

About as stable as they come. I've had very few crashes with this software, even when using hardware which was right on the lower limit. Win7 64 bit here as well. Not doing much multiplayer though.

Absolutely rock solid for me at the moment.. and even before that when I was on xp.

I have more crashes than I would like, all in career mode which is the only time I play. There are especially frustrating as there is no auto save system.

I had not had RoF installed for 4-6 odd months and before that I did not play a lot but I do recall it appeared to be more stable back then.

I am sure/hopeful that these crashes will be ironed out in the near future.

Two days ago I'd have said Rock solid, but last night I started a neww career (old one died ) and while performing the first mission I recorded it all.

Since it was a LONG mission it took almost 1 hour and 45 mins and eventually on the way to base I hit the 500MB limit for recording. Well, after I landed the mission debrief didn't show ANYTHING. NO planes shot down (at least 4 were) no balloons (2 down in flames) and no one of my wingmates died (2 here too).

Now, for reality sake's I will consider no score because the weather was actually sooooo bad no one could have confirmed a damn banana.

Yet still it burns.
At least I have the recording to prove it.

After last patch my fps dropped alot in combat...and i had my first crash in 6 months during a career mission

Maybe one lock up that I can remember in about a year's worth of fun, therefore likely not RoF related...

Win7 x64 on a gaming partition
No unnecessary background processes, like antivirus!

Hmm I guess I might have some kind of issue with my maschine then as most of you seem to have a stable experience.

I guess I should try to reinstall ROF first, and then begin checking all my drivers.....

Thx for the feedback.

Try using the 'recovery' option in the update tab first mate.. it will replace and repair any lost files, but it will return your game to default settings I think. So do some backing up first.

It's very stable for me, can't remember when it crashed last time, but I've had some bugs. Note that no other game I know of taxes the CPU as hard as RoF does (doesn't mean there aren't any). If you have lots of units in a mission, RoF will really put all of your CPU cores to work, unlike for example DCS games and iCoD. So if RoF is the only game crashing, I would consider CPU overtemp / other issues at least a possibility.

I had one CTD in the 2 years ive been playing it. That was a year ago.

Rob

Wouldn't a cpu over temp crash the maschine completely? In my case it is only rof that crashes...

Well, I eat my words. I had flown the longest career mission yet (haven't had much time over the past few weeks), was blasting away at an EIII bleeding petrol fumes, and crash-to-desktop.

Stable up to this point, hopefully just a coincidence...

Had that too, yesterday night actually. Was the CTD matched with a microstutter just before it?

I'm running RoF through bootcamp on an iMac in Win7 64 and it Is faultless with everything maxxed out. I have not had a single crash and it is as smooth as butter.if anyone were to experience crashes, then I would be the most likely candidate due to my hybrid system.
I must say that out of the flight sims I have on my comp ATM, A-10, Clod and RoF, it is the latter that is giving me the most fun and immersion. More so since the career option has been added.

I used to get very occasional rof.exe crashes to desktop. With the 1.19 patch I had several bsod and several rof.exe errors in one evening.
I have since updated my graphics card driver and it has been more stable, but have not played the game enough to know if it has cleaned up or not. Kinda hoping the 1.20 may have had some minor fixes in it that caught the problem ( but just hoping)

the general comment would be generally the game is stable, but it is graphically a cutting edge program and depending on your hardware configuration you do run into folks that have some ongoing problems. Old drivers, weak power supply all kinds of things could push it over the edge.

Advise that you clean everything up on your end to troubleshoot and see it if improves.

Will do.

And don't get me wrong on this question, I love ROF, its one of the most fun and immersive Sim's I have played. I just wanted to make sure if it is only me that is having problems.

I know my hardware is all new and pretty state of the art so it should be able to cope with the game....

I have the same card as you and only 4gb of memory, and I run it pretty much maxed out mate, and with no problems.

Not so sure re the stability of Rise Of Flight since the Last update.
Started a flight this evening, during combat, sound goes, and then everything goes into slow motion.
