@Nail This is the only game that causes DPC Stacking like it was a curse.

Massive/Ubisoft’s Division is more network intensive, more graphic heavy, yet no such problems are displayed; there are from time to time, graphic corruption, but that was communicated already by AMD and a simple restart of the game fixes it. Graphic corruption happens approximately once every fortnight of heavy gaming. This DPC stacking happens every single time.

It’s almost Friday and still, I can’t play any longer than 30 minutes without having to quit to desktop to unstack the DPCs this game is causing. It’s more likely that it is not a client-side, but rather a server side problem now. I’m not sure if my downspeed is too high for the server or my up speed is too slow. If both were the case, then the only solution I can think of is bandwidth throttling.

My friend’s game crashes at launch but also when he gets in a server, resulting in this error

He does not use any overlays and has tried reinstalling the game too, with no result. Any clue? He says he can barely get to play at all. Thank you.

I had a similar crash (or the same, i can’t remember the exact error), i was playing normally, someone was shooting me at my back, then the game suddenly crashed and closed with a similar error.

Windows 10 x64, my OS is clean and updated (fresh format, and all drivers updated etc etc etc).

Did You Spot a Hacker? ~ How to Report Them!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This PIN is broken you need to update so people can report cheaters, some players are reporting on steam community they are spotting cheaters

NikolaiLev · 2017-02-16 20:30:02 UTC

Also, after having played for a few hours I can say I’ve gotten at least one cheater in every match. It feels like there are even more than previously. Is EAC going to “start working” or are we going to have to settle?

At the very least, I myself haven’t gotten kicked by EAC like I did by NGS for false positive “game security violations.” So at least it’s a tiny improvement.

TR_Kama · 2017-02-16 20:53:03 UTC

there is nowhere to report a cheater on the forum the original PIN directs you to a dead website by nexon, so that needs updating aswell

ImSploosh · 2017-02-16 22:53:12 UTC

Wish someone would at least respond or try to help me out here. Can’t even play because this update fucked the resolution. Seems like all of our tech wizards on the forum disappeared!

Got an anti cheat integrity error rhight after the phantom artwork dissapeared

Xenithos · 2017-02-17 00:37:15 UTC

Type of Bug: Visual/Server/Service Connection error?
Description: Missions looked weird: had a gray triangle with an exclamation point in it, triangle pointing upwards. When I clicked on missions on the top right where my steam portrait is, it also displayed that weird Triangle Exclamation point.
Video / Screenshot: Sorry, failed to get one, Steam didn’t actually take a screenie of it. :c BAD STEAM.
Steps to reproduce: No idea, I disconnected from a server after it ended, Gallery Execution
Result: Missions weren’t there, and instead had this gray… just look at description
Expected result: Missions to be displayed, two of them, since my execution match was done to finish an execution mission AFTER the reset took place.
Reproduction rate: 1/9999 (No idea how it happened… Sorry)

I tried reinstalling the game the other day once EAC was added and got rid of crashes, boosted my FPS by 30+ and fixed main menu clunkiness. Try it!

Multiple times now. On top of my biggest issue, there’s also the freezing issue which a lot of people are experiencing. 2-3 second freezes every minute or so is extremely annoying. Then there’s the multiple errors which forces DB to crash to top everything off.

This update is not looking good. Hopefully they can stabilize everything soon…

I don’t get any crashes, but I am getting the hitching every minute or so. It’s interrupting gameplay, too; getting me killed a lot.

Hope to see a fix soon.

Every rig is different. I know that most of the time, I don’t experience the issues that everyone else has. However, this update just proved to be a difficult one. I didn’t think it would cause all of these problems, but EasyAntiCheat has really lowered the experience so far. I thought implementing a new anticheat would just stop people from using certain programs, not ruin the resolution. Just weird. I’ll probably try to reinstall one more time and hope that fixes some of the issues.

TR_Kama · 2017-02-20 07:09:02 UTC

i dont get crashes, but when in game i do get the 2-3 second freeze especially if im moving up a hill or stairs, on the flat it’s ok

[list][]Type of Bug: Outside Program attachment issues, updated.
[]Description: The new anti-cheat doesn’t let me record Dirty Bomb with OBS by attaching it to the DB process, which results in less CPU usage, smaller more accurate file sizes, and no possible messages being seen that shouldn’t be seen. It also gets a more direct video card link to the process running. Instead, I have to record DB by using the “Monitor Capture” feature on OBS, which isn’t recommended. I know you guys are doing in-game things to account for Mumble no longer being an action. However, could you at LEAST let OBS do it’s thing?!? It’s bad that I lose ~20-30 in game frames because I have to cause a process that I always run to switch to a less efficient style.
[]Video / Screenshot: Um… Really? Uh… okay:

[]Steps to reproduce: Get OBS. Make sure DB has the new anti-cheat. After DB is started, try to record just the DB process. You won’t be able to.
[]Result: I cried, file sizes became bigger, and my fps dropped considerably due to more resources being needed for OBS.
[]Expected result: I would be able to use the capture game or capture source feature in OBS with no issues.
[*]Reproduction rate: 10/10 It’s pretty obvious that the new anti-cheat doesn’t let me do it…[/list]
