I have a theory on the ORVR crashing.

Background: When creating small six man groups, if a player is in altdorf or IC, either the player or other players in the party will CTD when invited to an existing group. If the player himself is in altdorf or IC and trys to start a group, it also can sometimes create CTD issues. It is definitely connected to being in IC / Altdorf as this is the location that I see the small man group create CTD's. However, it is not all the time, just some of the time.

Ok - with that background, why do oRvR warbands all of a sudden have CTD wipes? Well, for the most part, they are open warbands...which means they have 24 slots. Which means you have 24 opportunities to have a player from altdorf / IC look at your open warband in party manager and hit join. and guess what then happens - CTD. Sadly, open warbands are key to get the mass of pugs organized for rvr...yet I would wager that Kings Own and other large organized guilds probably experience rvr meltdowns far less than the open warbands because theirs are controlled/closed and maybe they have already figured out that adding people to the warband if they are currently in altdorf/IC will lead to mass crashes.

Solution: The first issue that needs to be investigated is why altdorf/IC has this bug attached to it. Again, it is not all the time but it is the location that leads to the CTD's - i have never experienced it in another location. As for rvr... i'd suggest that pug warbands not be open...but broadcasted with a wb lead in the T3 chat. From there..invites are handed out directly by WB leader with the notion that to get an invite you must not be in altdorf / IC
What we have found is that Crashid1987 just explodes when we hit a keep. But hes fine when we roam.

Other than that, If I invite someone in AD they crash straight away. We have other issues like the WB not crashing but rather breaking. What I mean by that is Half maybe more of the WB will disappear from unit frames. They will stay in WB and be effected by group casts but you cant click them. When this happens you can't invite anyone else, kick anyone, or any other WB tools available.

We have even reverted to become 4, 6 mans. To improve the calibre of RvR.

Don't rule out the possibility of two different errors causing the same result. Just because one crash might be related to WBs, it does not mean that there are no other explanations

It certainly is abit bigger then personal computer problems.
It could ofcourse be related to addon's that many people use, although i tried without addons but stil crash.
I use Sildur's graphic thingy, but the crashed happened before aswel.

Get rid of that awful BLOOM IN YOUR FACE mod. Always run on FF in lakes no matter what your PC is.

I had crashes with lowest settings and no mods as well mate, and also I love bloom, please dont phrase it like you just did.

ofc you can have your opinion about bloom but im not alone in liking bloom, so its not awful, perhaps for you .P

While we are talking about anecdotal evidence, my experience is that closed wbs also crash but they dont do so as often or its as widespread.

What i mean is, i have seen entire open wbs all crash at once, when its closed, it seems to affect only a few and everyone seems to be fine.

That said, i am also quite bored of seeing defenses or attacks completely fail because one side has a massive crash, i like free exp/rr/inf as much as anyone but sometimes is quite ridiculous.

Yesterday i had arround 10 ctd's in orvr.. seemed radomly to me as i was playing in a wb.

Today i logged in, opened up the party and wb menü, and as i clicked to join a wb i got a ctd. happend 3 times in a row. After the third time the wb was gone.. dont know if i caused ctd's for everyone or if the wb was dispanding or private :D

this ctd's are very anoying. hope they will find out whats the issue and solve it.
also the gpu driver of my gtx980 have some troubles with this game, dont know if there is a connection.

Like someone said, i`m sure its not only one cause of CTD but several.
Ive seen so many ways for CTD occur, WB created by leader in Alt/IC and zoning, massive fights at keep, no matter open WB when I played with Rigante, nor always closed WB with Chopi Chaosu.
Also CTD whenever joining closed 6 man groups. So in conclusion, it must be somehow related to WB/party proccess.
PS. Anyone who dont use Enemy addon expirienced CTD on joining / being in WB/party?

open RvR prime time is when I CTD most. used to happen every couple of SC's too but havent been running SC's lately.

Over the weekend, I CTD something like 8 times in 2 hours, one portion of which was 2 DC's in 10 Min.

Im running mostly vanilla game stuffs other than the mods that come pre loaded like Buffhead.

I monitor my hardware and can promise that this is no where near a Heat related issue, doesn't appear to be anywhere near my hardware's limits.

I do run: Lightmaps / Specular. and 8 X AA. but these crashes seem to happen no matter the settings (that I can tell at least).

Maybe a driver issue somewhere? The old game realistically never crashed for me, and I played that on a socket 939 Opteron 165 highly OC's and only 2 GB of Ram ;p on an 8800 GTS

Now im on a i5 4690k , 16 gb ram and a GTX 680 DCUII...

This PC isnt breaking a sweat.
