CTDs in MP

[MichOrion]

Is anyone else experiencing some stability problems with CK in MP? When I play SP it's pretty good with 1.04a but MP crashes like the CK of old. Is this normal or can we (myself and the people I play with) improve this situation somehow. Oh and it happens to all of us not just one guy. Just wondering, if this is how it is we'll just deal with it. Thanks!

Having as few progs running on background helps. Also if you run at rather high speed, you might want to lower it as CTD can easily be caused by a player getting out of synch by lag.

Like Byak already said, kill all the processes running in the background and stability will improve. Programs starting on their own internet access seem to be the worst in my experience (Microsoft Automatic Updater, Anti-virus Autoupdaters (such as Backweb) etc). Running on speeds higher than Above Normal is inviting doom because the host has to handle all the material coming from the clients + the AI functioning and then has to relay it back to the clients.

I hope those suggestions help
