Change starting commands?

[akaJag]

I have been crashing about mid game all the time and it's really annoying, but I read somewhere (don't got the source sorry) that if you disable the sounds you don't crash...

So how do I disable the sounds?
On the normal FA shortcut I can just add "/nosound" and it works but how do I do that for FAF?

[Legion Darrath]

You could try starting FAF's version of FA using a shortcut that has /nosound, create a profile to make sure it saves your options and then make sure sounds are turned off in the options menu.

But how do I do that? I don't understand what I am supposed to do

[Legion Darrath]

Go to C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin and make a shortcut of the exe there and add the nosound command like you did with the other shortcut. Keep in mind that ProgramData is a hidden folder so you'll have to go into the Windows options to reveal hidden files and folders. Once you've made the shortcut, use it to launch FA and create a profile in game. Afterwards go into the options menu and turn off the sound. Exit the game and launch it through FAF and see if the problem is solved.

Do you mean turning the sound off in the options by just dragging the bars to the left? 'Cause there is no button to disable the sounds

I do indeed.

Didn't work, still crashes
I've tried googleing about this a lot of time but I always crash mid game.

I've attached the game logs. dont know whats wrong

EDIT
I should say that when it crashes the game just freezes and I can't click any buttons, while my friends who are in the same game can (buttons like the pause button and such).

Hmm your game.log is full of errors but the most relevant one seems to be

Code: Select all

warning: SND: Error playing cue 1 on bank 39 [ursstream]
         XACT: Invalid arg

I don't know what caused it though. You seem to have a lot of mods enabled, could you try a game without mods? Also do you have a 5.1 surround system for your sound? If that's the case you should try setting the sound to stereo in Windows options.

EDIT: there's also a desync detected:

Code: Select all

info: Desynch at beat 1 tick 0.20000000298023

So yeah my first guess after seeing the log would be a mod or maybe a broken file somewhere.

Ok I think my graphic card have updated, don't know if that helps.
I tried to replicate the crash by playing solo on sandbox mode and enableing sounds again, but nothing happened. I spent about an hour and no crash.

When I closed the game I got a grayscreen (as I've always gotten, except when I run the game with /nosound)
Behind the grayscreen was a window that said I crashed, and contained this:
