Driver issue is difficult to diagnose without the machine in front of us.

Lets assume its got something to do with old and new just not getting along.

 

Go to;

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\username here\Day of Defeat Source\bin

• delete a file called vidcfg.bin (delete from recycling bin too)
• Create a new vidcfg.bin folder
• Change colour quality to 16-bit; it will likely be set to 32-bit

Fingers crossed.

 

Edit:

Have you tried running the game without the use of any kind of overlay?

Turn off Discord and disable any kind of overlay from your video card and see if that has an impact.

I think you're exactly right, it's the overlay fighting with another that's creating this complication. Exactly what we're seeing here is the Steam Overlay that you use to talk to friends etc is failing and instead of restarting properly like it should you're getting CTD.

 

I want you to disable every single overlay you can think of.

 

If you have MSI Afterburner, EVGA PrecisionX, or any program similar; these have overlays that have been known to cause miscommunication with the Steam Overlay.

Turn off any peripheral monitoring tools, like iCue, Steelseries software, Razer software.

 

Do you remember if anything changed when this all started? I'm wondering if a peripheral software or firmware update may have caused this.

How do i create a bin file?

@Marketfresh: Read above, I put out the steam Overlay, Discord. I don't think i have others

@Mister WWII: I don't play any other games... sow, i don't know.

I really think it has something to do with Kernell.dll. Search on internet and there are many people have issues with it.
First gonna try your solution Marketfresh... we'll see. Fingers crossed.

still crashing.

1) when you get the notification from McAfee how do you respond? Do you accept or deny
Sometimes i have a notification that asks me to deny or accept 'gameoverlay'. But not Always. Already did the overlay on or off while playing.

2) Do you have any other background software that might block this and: Maybe... But Vicari has been looking for it sow normally it has to be ok.

3)Do you have auto updates on for steam or any other program? Steam auto updates indeed. Other programs: Some of them.

I go for Gold/Silver and Altcoins!
 

@Wulgaert 1st MRB Nice investment!
But i think about people who don't have the  money to buy a house. Or spare-money.+

I've posted it here before but that post bleed to death. DoD crashes every so often. Usually every 20 min.

What have I already done:

- Files checked via steam

- Virus scanner turned off (mcafee)

- Game overlay turned off.

- Updated video card drivers.

-Steam and DoD reinstalled.

But still it crashes ... SgtMaj. Vicari has viewed my desktop via team view and turned things on or off.

Someone an idea because it sucks incredibly.

@Moffat 1st MRB 

You know what strikes me. There are many things on your list that we Europeans do anyway. Like cooking every night, growing your own vegetables. .. This is not a reproach, it probably has to do with 'culture'.

But I indeed meant more how you best invest your money. And in what 'you' invest your money to create worth.

haha, i think the paper it's made of is more worth.

@Race 1st MRB What do you mean?

Because we are heading for a crisis (or rather a recession ...) it is important to invest your savings well. Most likely, people will lose their job and will therefore have to rely on their savings. It is therefore important to achieve a good return. There are so many options. Investing, Savings Book, Altcoins, Physical Currency (Gold / Silver / Platinum ...) etc ... What do you do with your savings and what do you think are the best investments?

I really don't think it has something to do with heat issues.
I played it with mcafee out and it was fine...
it's always the 'gameoverlayui.exe' that's the problem.
I already give it permission to start, give it a go for the firewall en so on...
but, i read something about i should do it as 'administrator'.
I'm the only user of this pc, sow how the f*ck can't i not be the admin...

getting really pissed about it.
But thx guys for the help!!!

i'll try to play when mcafee is off. I play on a latop but i don't think i has something to do with heat.
thx!

And the problem is not solved... anyone an idea?

it's ok (for now).
i had to put out the 'real time scanning'.

Sow, for now it's good. Hope it stays like this.

thx!

For a few weeks i have a major problem.
My DoD stop's out of nothing every time since e few weeks.
No warning, just back to desktop.
Some things a noticed:
1. It's mostly in about 20 min in gameplay. (map change doesn't affect it)

2. Is have mcAfee  on my pc and everyday it asks to 'allow' or 'Block' 'gameoverlay...'
Toughts and any solutions?

Thanks!
