CQC CQC crashing often (like WAY more often than the main game... is this new? or is it that I'm just new to CQC?)

I recently tried CQC for the first time and am seriously regretting that I didn't get into it sooner. It's awesome. I love it. (and I'm not super into PvP in the main game, so this is a surprise to me).

I've been reading all the old forum posts I can find about CQC, and I've seen several people posting about combat logging in CQC. I have no idea why anybody would be so vain about their stats that they'd feel the need to combat log... But suddenly I thought, I've had a lot of crashes in CQC maybe that's what others are seeing as combat logging?

Since I started playing (about a week ago), I've had probably a dozen hard game crashes where everything freezes and a few seconds later I'm booted out to the SteamVR launch screen. I'm using a Pimax 5K+ HMD (and I kinda feel like Pimax software is a bit dicy, since strangely my HMD tracking seems to reverse just before the hard crash -- like move my head up and the view goes down barf) so part of me thinks this might be a Pimax software causing a crash, but I felt I should ask if other CQC players have experienced WAY more hard crashing in CQC than they do in the main game?

Crashes in CQC were rare until one of the previous updates.
People were combat logging back then.
Now people who we know were combat logging before have just an excuse "my game crashed" lol

Now crashes happen, yes.

Still some people don't have them at all.
One guy I know who never had one crash in CQC lives in rural area, has low speed ADSL broadband and low spec PC.
So my guess is crashes have nothing to do with internet speed, but maybe some high video settings cause them.
Something got messed up in one of the recent updates for sure.

I use ULTRA settings but no VR and I get crashes. So I'll probably try to experiment with some video settings.
Ideally ask the guy that never has crashes to tell me his video settings.. it's worth a shot.

I’m getting this in the latest build. Full client crash, no error message. Didn’t happen before.

Turning my graphics settings right down seems to deal with it for now (down to VR Medium from a Ultra custom setting normally - seems to lead to fewer hangs and no/low crashes)

Definitely weird though. (Previously I got better performance in CQC if anything).

There seem to be a few issue tracker reports on it. Worth adding to one.
I’m going for this PC one:

I crash to desktop from CQC far too often. I run a pretty beefy system and run on ultra. Have never crashed in VR but I play there far less than flat screen(might go back to VR simply because wait times have dropped enough that I won't be sitting in a lobby doing nothing as much as in the past). The only thing I have noticed is the weapon upgrade is almost always in view when the crash happens(I'd be curious if anyone else has noticed anything similar). It used to be I only crashed on Cluster Compound now Elevate and even occasionally Ice Field. All I know is it's frustrating.

I haven't had any crashes in 3.7.xx, but I haven't used VR in CQC recently, and have only played a handful of sessions...one was fairly long though.

Using the same 4k with beyond-ultra settings I use in the main game.

Encountered my first crash to desktop in quite a while about 20 minutes into a CQC session the other day. Started the game back up, got back into the match I was previously in and played another hour without issue.

So far, this is one crash in about six hours of CQC since 3.7 dropped...too few to see if it's a trend.

CQC seems to crash way more if you're flying the Condor. Not sure why that is, but several people have tested and confirmed this. Try switching to the Gu-97.

Oh that's intriguing. Ta. (Fits with my experience, I was flying the Condor exclusively when it happened.)
