I think next patch will implement hotbuild & gazUI to solve these issues.

That could well be it. There's no way to get v6 from the mod vault right?

Incidentally I changed from v6 to v8 at the exact moment I changed computers, and my friend did too.

Sorry to waste your time Zep. I assumed v8 was fine otherwise everyone would be screaming about it. Would it be worth putting a big fat warning on the v8 download in mod vault?

The latest version of GAZUI is clearly broken.

It's not an official release by the way, the latest "real" GAZUI is v6.
Others are people adding code without checking it's working.

I have the same problem (as described in first post) sometimes. When zooming back out from up close the frame freezes of jitters between two frames but the game seems to continue. When minimizing the game and bringing it back up the screen remains gray.

I am using completely different drivers (nVidia vs catalyst). But it seems mod related. When i uninstall Gaz the problem seems to go away. When i reinstall it seems to work for a little while and then the problem returns. When it happens it again i'll post a .log. I really like Gaz though with it's draggable build queue en shared templates.

My machine is a fairly old one but high end back then (Core2Duo E8500/6GB RAM/nVidia GTX480/Win 7 64-bit) for FAF it is excellent due to its high single core speed.

No, I was hoping to skip that ... hotbuild + gaz? I figure they must be stable ... ?

Thanks. How about this one?

Same problem. Related to drivers/directX.

If you think it's not, we need the replay.

Tonight's crash was a bit different. It just stopped running like it was paused - I could still change orders around. However it never came back and when I tried to quit it was very hard to do, involving killing the process and some creative window swapping.

When I view the replay it does the same thing so this is replicable.

Spoiler: show

Thanks, is there any way to resolve that then? I have tried all of the versions of the driver I can, including the new beta driver. I read that rolling back three or four versions could fix it - but that would mean reinstalling OS because that driver doesnt work on win 8.1 . I guess I could see if there any DirectX updates

It's most likely a problem with your graphic driver.

My second crash of the night is not the same as the above (jitter) crash. In this case it actually crashes out with an exception window:

Spoiler: show

It happened just as I killed the opponent and in case that's important, another time I crashed was exactly when I died.

There was no replay log but it was #1837338.

The online replay is corrupted but my local one runs fine, with no crash.

Thanks!
