Random crash fix - at least for me

from Sins Forums

Hi all,

 

After playing for a while my game would crash so hard that the computer rebooted. It'd also crash and reboot when I exited the game.

After reading through some similar posts here I set all my Effects to High, NOT Highest and hey presto no more crashes either in game or when exiting.

Just thought I'd share and reiterate this in case anyone has similar issues.

Cheers,

technical

I am almost certain the reason is that it runs out of vram, instead of paging to regular ram (which should kill your performance) it crashes.

I notced all crashes ended when I upgraded to a 512MB card... specifically from a 7900GS to a 8800GTS 512MB

However, before upgrading I handled it by leaving the quality on very high, but disabling ALL the effects (skyboxes, bloom, etc) as well as AA
