Reposting this (last one failed). I just got the game and love it. It keeps crashing on me though after about two - three minutes. It is a fresh install, 2.11 with multiskins.

Direct X and all drivers are up to date. Please help, I want to play.

Win 7 64, E8500, 4GB, Nvidia 470

Hi ATFMonk,

Welcome to BOBII and the BOBII forum and community.

You are crasking in a Windows program (KERNELBASE.dll ) and I do not have Windows code to review.

You say you have the latest DirectX 9C but I recommend you go to the windows web site and let the Web installer update (It will update only if needed). Here is the link:

Tried that brother no luck. I reduced the grount textures down to 1024 and that extended the time but still the crash later.

Dropping texture sizes to 1024 is for old 256MB cards. With the new nVidia GTX470 @1280MB you have absolutely no need to reduce texture sizes. Heck, you might even be able to set particle effects on full with a monster like that (our future-proof max setting).

Make sure you've got enough power supply and cooling; the 470 will take about 300W at full 3D workload, and the E8500 will max at 130, so that's 430W before any peripherals. Your supply should be rated 650W or more. I would expect you've been provided something adequate, but a check is always a good idea. Voltage sagging from heavy load (and flight sims like this provide maximum load for both computing and rendering) can result in crashes after a repeatable delay as you describe, which is why I suggest it.

Other possible candidates for crashes after a couple of minutes of 3D are background tasks interfering with the cpu focus. Things which want to initiate a download from the net are good suspects.

hi,
I had the same issue or problem to what you are having .I have win7 64x i found after alot of starting and testing of bob2 that if i turn off the compatiblity mode when i right clicked on the shortcut to bob2 and went into properties the crashing would minimize

hope this helps

Yes, quite so. I learned this from a later poster who tried a few things. I knew there had been an earlier post about the same topic, but I didn't find it, so good job locating this.
