    im just wondering how many other people have had constant crashes since the new heavy update and if anyone can offer up a suggestion on how to fix it, im going to run a virus check and a defragger tonight to see if that helps.

    So far, the only solution to solve the crashing that ive found is ->here<-

    DON'T DELETE THE FILE like the link says, just move it to your desktop temporarily instead, then if they release a fix for this problem you can move it back to where it was and regain all of your records.

    im just curious as to how wide spread this actually is

    Have had no issues nor heard any complaints aside from this one.

    Hope whatever the problem is you get it all sorted out!

    Nope, no crashing to desktop.
    It still makes my CPU overheat, but not crash.

    Well I did experience one crash while doing a heavy taunt on dustbowl.

    Something about the memory not being written.
