Ok, after many tests and pain i finally got to the verdict------------> SLI is the cause!!!

Every time i play AA3 with SLI enabled, it crashes after random period of time so i have to hard reset my computer! After realizing that SLI could be the issue, i disabled it in Nvidia Control Panel and no more freezing!!!

Is this known issue? Is it being worked on? Because it would be nice being able to use both of my cards in the game w/o any problems!!!

Thank you.......

Yes, i know about this patch, but AA3 is not on the list of games the requires it!!!!

Here is the quote from EVGA FAQ

Quote:

Q. Do I need this enhancement if I do not play the above games?

A. No, you only need this enhancement if you run SLI, and are playing one of the above games.




List of games:

Enables SLI support for Borderlands
Enables SLI support for Painkiller: Resurrection
Enables SLI support for Wolfenstein Demo
Enables SLI support for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Enables SLI support for G-Force
Enables SLI support for FIFA Soccer 2010
Enables SLI support for League of Legends: Clash of Fates
Enables SLI support for NHL 2009
Enables SLI support for Order of War
Enables SLI support for Race On
Enables SLI support for Star Trek: D-A-C

AA3 is not on here!!!!

Ok, i just ran AA3 with SLI Enhancer patch and it froze again!!!

According to EVGA link you gave me, that patch is based on 191.07 driver, which means 191.07 already got SLI profile for AA3, which means i already had it before i installed the patch, because my current display driver is 191.07!!!! And it still freezes!!!

It is problem with the game!!!!!!!

I do not have an SLI setup and yet the game freezes on me in the early rounds I join a server.
Using Ctrl Alt del to call up the task manager and then cancelling it usually get me back in the game and freezes seems to go away after a few rounds.

Ditto.. this freezing issue is the only thing right now that irritates me about the game.

My freezing issue is different!!!

When it freezes, my keyboard and whole computer goes dead, the only way out of it, is forced shutdown, which is not so good!!!

Hmm.

After a lot of thinking, I really do think it's a driver failure.

Please try uninstalling your driver, running a registry cleaner, restarting your PC and then installing the latest driver for your graphics card again.
