ME 2 crashes

[runzwithsizorz]

A minor annoyance but what is the cause? Me or them?

On occasion, I will be in the middle of ME2 and suddenly the game stops working and a black square appears on the desktop. ME2 "still running", icon in task bar, but no game. Game downloaded from Origin, system specs on computer just fine. I can play for 10 hrs and all is fine. I can play for two hrs and this happens. Go back into game and all is well.

What just happened???

Look in Event Viewer and reliability monitor for the module that is failing. I played 1-3 no issues numerous times. Game is pretty stable for Bioware.

Crashed once, re start and played for 11 hrs with no problems. Event log says:

Good God... Have no idea where all the "faces" came from! Too late now. Anyway, in the more comprehensible version mentions

Use

 tags to avoid auto-replacing of some character sequences with smiley faces.

Huh?? I just copied/pasted from Windows event viewer...no faces there. When you say "code"?? I know what code means in a general sense, but have no idea what "code" in event viewer would translate into faces.
     Anyway, looks more interesting than the original.

In these forums, : ) = , : D = , and so on. Click on "smilies" link at the bottom of this page to see more.

Anyway, that is saying the ATI video drivers or Catalyst Control Center crashed on you trying to save some of its info.

Upgrading your ATI video card drivers might help.

 

[mmntech]

Yep, definitely a driver issue. Are you running the latest Catalyst drivers?

 

[escrow4]

Thirded, drivers.

You use code tags to avoid that certain character sequences from your text are automatically converted into smileys.

Like that:

{code} text {/code}, but with rectangular brackets [] instead of {}.

Example

:)

Notice that I not used space between : and ) and still the ":" + ")" was not converted into .
