Saints Row: The Third

Saints Row: The Third

Преглед на статистиките:
"Saint's Row the Third has stopped working."... but not at start-up.
Update: 3/23
I believe the key to finding a solution is information, and I found out a few more "symptoms" of the problem, that I believe are related.

-At 1920x1080, full screen and windowed, game randomly crashes. (Followed by the message in the title)
-At 1680x1050, full screen and windowed, game crashes after first opening video (purple car + attack chopper). Always.
-Ocassionally game does not always crash, but does something else. (Next 2)
- In Full screen, game looks like it is about to crash, but instead just turns invisible. I can hear it. I can mover around and access menus, but I see my desktop background. Currently have yet to find a way to get picture back.
- In windowed mode, same as above, but instead of turning invisible, screen turns pure white.
- Crashes cause no delay in computer, so I don't think there is a "memory dump" after the crash.

Attempted to update to latest drivers, but new drivers crashed every few minutes (and recovered). Rolled back after 3rd time.

Attempted to verify caches, 2 bad files, redownloaded, did not fix.

Attempted to set game priority to "High" in task manager. Can't tell if I am getting more time or not, but crashes still occur.

So anyone have and Idea how these can be related?

Windows 7/64
Zotac Geforce GTX 285

Updata: 3/25
Determined that the problem is NOT the amount of RAM I have... Relinstalled DirectX.... No change...

Yeah, it keeps crashing for me at this one point where I'm supposed to protect a helicopter carrying a bomb. It's done it 3 times so far at the same point :/
Updated original post with new information.
Unfortunately, I can't help, I got the same problem with an AMD Radeon graphic card. The game randomly crashes too. Sometimes i play with no problems, sometimes, it crashes when i try to load my career, sometimes after 10mins of gaming. But, i got a graphic message error too. I thought the problem was my graphic card, but none of my other games crash like that. My pc under warranty was recently repaired, and apparently, my graphic card works fine...

I don't know why, but this game crashes itself and/or crashes my graphic driver. Weird...
Well, it wasn't drivers either...performed a sweep and a clean install of them....
Just to bring this back to the forefront, as there isn't a known solution yet...

Update:
Attempted to disable AA and AS via game, and run it via my video card settings...
I actually got a decent amount of play out of it (about 45 minutes), before the usual.

But I've noticed something.... the crash always seem to occur when something is changing, or loading, like a model or texture. Like it happens a lot in stores, when I'm scrolling through bunch of different hats, or shirts. Or when I'm scrolling through to pick a color for that items... I'll move onto the next one, but before it loads, the game will hang up and crash. (The item might load another time. but a different item will crash it...) Hmmmm.....

Also revalidated again... 3 files needed...again. it downloaded them though.,... /shrug

Tried running it in DX9... kinda works. Light can be overly bright however, and fire is invisible....(kind of annoying when blowing up cars and I keep getting set on fire.)

while the game is stable for me, at least most of the time, but it does crash a lot if I'm in combat, especailly after a few waves or I keep on fighting after I completed all the waves, but it has also crashed in a few places too, switching to DX9 mode doesn't help, as it crashes there too, I tried validating the files, no sucess, but for me, it crashes mainly in heavily combat or if I use the rocket lauchner a lot, otherwise its fairly stable if i'm not in combat
Hmm... still might be the same issue....though i just spend 30 minutes rolling around in a tank destroying multiple waves of the army, with no crash...grrr this is frustrating.
tell me about it, I can complete alll the mayhem challanges just fine, but if I pick a fight with a gang and perlong that fight, it will crash, but yeah so frustrating
Well, this is odd... apparently Saint Row the Third has issues with quad core processors... funny thing is...I have a 3 core, yet when I go to set affinity...my computer thinks I have 4 (CPU 0,1,2,3)... I wonder if there's some sort of dummy core there that causes an issue. Did 0/1 and still crashed. Now to try 2/3, 0/3, and 1/2.

Edit: Hmm, got 1.5 hours of play after setting affinity to only 0,1,2.....closed game myself. Further tests are required.

looks like you nailed the issue, I added this to the shortcut -CPUCount:1 -CPUPriority:high

and did a lot of fighting and no crash, and I do have a intel quadcore CPU, so it does seem that the game can't handle multi core setups, and for a game that is suppose to be fairly recent too, its a very bad oversight, but yeah, adding that to the shortcut seems to have solved the issue for me, thanks

Interesting, I'll try to add that to my shortcut. It's a pain having to minimize and do it manually each time I start the game.

Edit: Yep, seems to work. Went shopping, did genki bowl, mayhem, etc. no crash....
