Yes, send a dxdiag to [email protected], subject can be "crash in 10 minutes"

Same here, not sure it its connected to an event or just a matter of time.

It would be good to know, cause it can be a memory leak, or a specific event like changing weapon, or opening a door :)

In order to get the game to work I had to rename the d3dcompiler_46.dll to d3dcompiler_47.dll

I am unable to finish a mission as the game locks after 5-10 mins. Most recently it was during a weapon swap. But not always.

I wrote it quite often the last time.. but do you guys play in fullscreen mode?

Had the same problem, that was solved by switching to windowed (Borderless) since then I played 5 full rounds without crash.

Edit: If it helps, please let me know ^^ Don't want to bug everyone with this if it does not help :D

As it seems it occurs when the user switches weapon.

the weapon switch bug seems to be especially brutal if you run and switch. Going to test on that ^^

That's right. Encountered it 3 times in a row, every time it occured when I switched weapons while backtracking from a pack of mobs

I was just ingame so I tried the same between a melter and a bolter. There was no problem with that. Switched at least 20 times, provoking a crash.

Which weapons did you have equiped?

Plasma/bolter. Each time I was retreating from a group of mobs and switched them on the run. Win7 borderless, tried both low and medium settings.

I suspect the plasma canon could have a issue with it.. there is also this shiny box instead a real weaponmodel ^^

Would love to try.. but my plasma canon just disappeared after i equipped it and startet the mission. I'll try again ^^

Not only, Game frozen while I was in battle without weapon changing.

have you tried to disable the framelimit and the cpu/gpu link?

I just try to provoke a crash.. but have just the feeling that the plasma canon drains my framerate. But have to check to be sure

Edit: Was just a feeling.. same framerate.

Sync disabled and no frame limit, last crash was with melee weapons.

Same for me, game crashes after playing about 5-15min. Happens not only when i'm weaponswitching. Still can hear sound but the game is inactive.

I'm also getting crashes after about 10-15 mins. Managed to finish one mission which lasted 21 mins. No weapon swapping involved, I tried switching to windowed (borderless) too. I too am using melee weapons, originally powersword/ shield, now chainsword/ bolter pistol.

I'm not getting a crash log at all though so as Roman said is there a log we can provide to assist you?

Some additional info, game frozen after minute or 2 after I changet weapon, so I presume problem is not in weapon changing.

Happened to me once while playing. Was during a confrontation with a Dreadnought, Plague Marines and regular infantry. So a lot of weapon switching going on. Game froze, sound continued after about half a minute, screen stayed frozen.

98% of freezing for me happens on the load screen. Whenever I get a load screen in this game, it's a gamble to see whether it will freeze or not. Except when ending a mission (completed, failed or forfeit), the game will ALWAYS freeze on the loading screen after a mission.
