Game worked fine before the latest game update. I have no idea if the cause is the game update or the Aslain update, as I did them at the same time.
Symptoms:
Minimap stops working correctly. Vehicles on the other side of the map are spotted and move around correctly; vehicles near my tank are not spotted, don't move, and don't show up
There are a few short "gaps" in the game, where I can still see my screen but nothing moves, not even my mouse
About a minute later, if I'm still in game, the game crashes. Complete crash - CTRL+ALT+DEL and ALT+F4 etc don't work. I have to hard power off my machine and restart
Video card stats are hot, but nowhere near crash-level hot
System:
Windows7
MSI R7950 Twin Frozr Radeon HD 7950 3GB PCI Express
Stable PCU/system otherwise
Attempts to fix:
Updated to latest Radeon drivers
Windows Update for critical updates
Reinstalled World of Tanks
Updated to latest Aslain version
Tried other games (unable to reproduce)
Tried same game on shitty laptop (works fine but fps stinks)
My next steps:
Play many games without Aslain's mods (OUCH!) and if I can replicate in plain vanilla, send replays to WOT
What I'm asking:
Is any of this "known issue" type stuff since the last patch?
