Larian Studios Forums Dragon Commander Dragon Commander - Beta Crash to Desktop When Loading Battles

Hi All,

I just preordered the game (through Steam, that is) and booted it up immediately. I'm able to start a multiplayer campaign and play at that level normally. However, once a battle begins, I get a CTD as soon as I choose cards & abilities and hit the "begin" button. I got the same result when trying a multiplayer skirmish (both of these were against AI, if that matters).

I was able to find another thread discussing a reg tweak for Nvidia cards; however, I'm running two Radeon HD5770's and can find no other references to crashes at the start of battles. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it?? Needless to say, I'd love to be able to play the game I just paid for Thanks in advance!

Other than the Cannot Battle... topic you alluded to, a few other people reported this problem in the topic Crashes on skirmish, one mentioning it had only started since the last beta update.

Are you shutting down all non-essential programs before starting the game? The anti-virus program may have been the issue in the first topic.

Have you tried lowering the resolution, or changing it to match the desktop resolution if it isn't already? Did you lower / change the graphics options?

Did you check for Windows updates, graphics drivers, etc?

Hi Raze, and thanks for the response! I did shut down all the non-essentials, and my drivers are all up to date. I did not try playing with the graphics settings as you suggest - I do know that the game auto-detected my native resolution (1920x1080) and set everything to "high" by default. I'll try lowering those and checking back. Thanks again.

Still no joy. I set everything to "very low" with the exact same result.

I will continue the conversation in the other thread you pointed out and consider this one closed.
