CM keeps freezing and crashing, is this affecting anyone else?

Post by Rocco Ward » 31 Mar 2017, 15:55

I know this should PROBABLY be posted under the bugs subforum, but I saw in chat and LOOC that other people have been having this issue. I suspect this has more to do with BYOND than the server itself.... but the question remains what would be the best solution to fix this? I already tried reinstalling the newest BYOND version multiple times... I'm not sure what else there is to do.

To clarify what happens: I log into CM, and play for anywhere from 5-30 mins, then the client starts to act funky like there is lots of lag, and I can't click on anything or issue commands. The screen COMPLETELY freezes up, and then stops responding. I exit out of the application and have to restart it waiting 30 secs each time due to the BYOND ads. It's a big pain in the ass, and if this keeps up I may have to consider quitting any combat roles as it's pretty much a guaranteed KIA when this happens.

Byond settings - Graphics - Disable/Enable accelerated graphics
Make sure your computer is using your actual graphics card and not your integrated one.

Where are Byond settings?
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

BYOND Hub that you download, before you pick a server and log in theres a setting tab.

Is it the icon with the gear, that when you hover over it says menu? Also when I click on it, I see a preference tab with options. One of which is - Use graphics hardware for displaying maps (I'm assuming this is it?)
