An observation i had.

[Pennilenko]

My wife and i played for approx 3 hours last night on test, during that time neither of us had any crashes to desktop.

Since we started in open beta, not one time have we had a crash free play session like that.

Does anyone else notice less lag, less hitching, less crashing on test compared to the live servers?

I find it intersting how on live servers i crash about 1 to 2 times per hour, since i started playing vanguard, and on test i played for 3 hours straight with no issues. If this is going to be how my play experience goes on test, ill be staying till they shut it down.

Seriously i can set my watch to my crashes while playing on florendyl. At 26 minutes of playtime i know i have about 5 minutes left. Like clockwork everytime i ctd. I chalked it up to my machine. Now im wondering if its my machine after all.

Probably has to do with population density and fixes not yet pushed to live

You mean network traffic and bugs associated with server volume. Shoot this whole time i thought i had lost my touch for building computers. LOL.


You dont know how happy it would make me if i was told that my computer isnt the problem.

Flo I don't crash...perhaps it's yer machine...I saw a post on "Silky Venom" about making your machine run better on Vanguard...honestly it sounds like you have a progrem kicking you off..like anti-virus or somthing.

Then it would do it in Test as well.

The only other thing to consider is that you might have a problem with your regular installation that is not present in the test installation.

A full file scan might be a good idea.

You are the winner. I followed your advice, i knew it wasnt a program on my machine. I did a full file scan and it downloaded a few files. Now i havent crashed since. Thank you for the suggestion.

Glad to hear it!

I'm going to do that full scan also. I went for a week or two without crashing and now (for the last 7 or 8 days) one of my computers crashes ever so often. I figure it was just a problem with a patch but now....
