Thread: Upgrade to GTX 980Ti - COH2 crashes PC 18 Dec 2015, 17:22 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Dec 2015, 17:14 PMkamk I assume you also disabled vsync, and therefore you got no frame limiter in place. COH2 is one hell of a stress test on it's own sadly. Nevertheless, your PC should never do a hard reset due a game in the first place. That smells like faulty drivers or hardware issues - i didn't suggest the mentioned above for no reason. Yes, vsync is disabled. I concur - a game should never be able to get deep enough into the guts of the OS to cause a hard reset. However, that is the situation with which I'm faced. I don't believe that the card is to blame as it has worked well with every application except COH2. I tried drivers from 3 different sources (nVidia, Microsoft, and Asus) and got the exact same result every time. It even crashes at the exact same point in the performance test - the instant that the SU-76 takes a hit, the computer crashes. I tried playing a solo game, and it lasted about 15 seconds before it too crashed hard. I dumbed down the settings in COH2 to their lowest possible value in every category, got the same result. I let the game run its analysis and choose the settings it felt were appropriate, got the same result. I tried maxing them out, got the same result. I'm quite frustrated. In all the time I've been gaming, this is the first time I've ever posted to a forum looking for guidance. In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Upgrade to GTX 980Ti - COH2 crashes PC 18 Dec 2015, 17:15 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Dec 2015, 17:09 PMStormless FaHu /GameGamblers has the same issue. He has a TITAN GPU and a computer that would make even the worthiest of i7 builds look like garbage. But he also has some of the worst issues with COH2 i've seen lol! I have quite a modest set up.. it is over clocked a little but I can run COH2 on max and stream in 1080p with literally no issues.. Here is the standard I get from my system - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5XCa2Jpb3U And these are my system specs Processor : AMD FX-8350 8-core Overclocked to 4.2Ghz RAM : 8gb Corsair DDR3 1600Mhz GPU : R9 290X 4GB (Sapphire Edition) Cooling : Panther CPU Cooling unit Hard Drive : 250GB Solid State Drive OS : Windows 10 Based on a lot of what i've seen, I actually wonder if the problems are something to do with Intel/Nvidia based systems... is that possible that this happens more commonly with Nvidia cards? AMD CPU? AMD graphics? You are completely sold over to the Dark Side, aren't you? :-) I'll be sure to post a resolution to my problem if / when I get one in the hope that FaHu / GameGamblers can find some stability for his COH2.

I'm one of those weird gamers that doesn't believe in overclocking. I buy hardware that excels at it, then run everything stock. I buy overclocking-capable hardware because it is built with the highest quality components, and I buy enough muscle that I don't need to overclock to achieve the experience that I desire. Yours is an excellent suggestion, but doesn't apply to my situation. In: Hardware and Tech

You need to be sure that its problem with Coh2 and not your card. But I will not be surprised if problem is coh2 Yes, I did. I ran the original Company of Heroes graphics test and it passed. I've played Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and Civilization V on the 980 and it worked beautifully. The only game that fails on this card is Company of Heroes 2. You know, the game I play the most.... sigh In: Hardware and Tech

I agree that it makes no sense. I have been in IT for 30 years and am quite accomplished at troubleshooting technical problems. I believe that my testing has effectively isolated the problem to the combination of the GTX 980Ti card and COH2. The 980 runs every other game without issue, and COH2 runs perfectly with the 680 in place. The only change that I made was to swap in the 980, and COH2 fails to run. Swap the 680 back in and the game runs. I'm open to any and all suggestions. In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Upgrade to GTX 980Ti - COH2 crashes PC 18 Dec 2015, 06:38 AM I have been running COH2 on an Asus GTX 680 since the game was released and had no problems. I just upgraded to an Asus GTX 980Ti Strix and now the game crashes every time. Same driver, no change in graphics settings, and as soon as I run the performance test and the SU-76 gets hit, my PC hard crashes and reboots. I tried setting all the graphics options to their lowest settings, got the same result. Removed the nVidia driver and let Windows 10 x64 install its own driver (dated July 2015), same result. Installed 3 different versions of the nVidia driver, same result with each one. Installed the Asus version of the driver, same result. I put the 680 back in and the game runs perfectly, no crashes. I ran the graphics performance test in COH1 and it ran perfectly, no crashes. This leads me to conclude that there is an issue between COH2 and the 980Ti. I also tried the "Verify integrity of game cache" trick, that made no difference. I laid out $650 for this card and dammit, I want to use it! If anyone else has seen this problem and has a solution, I'd be most grateful. I've researched this to a fine degree and haven't found a solution that works for me.
