Game keeps crashing.

Like the title says. My game keeps crashing randomly. So far, I've crashed 3 times while teamed, once while trying to zone, and twice when leveling up. I don't have this problem with any of my other games, just City of Heroes.

I used to be able to play this game just fine, until I got the evil gumblar virus of DOOOOM!!!
Anyways, after I got the DOOOOM virus, I went ahead and wiped windows, because nothing else was working.

So, my computer is practically empty, and the virus is gone. I installed City of Heroes onto my computer, and now it keeps crashing all of a sudden.

Here's a CoH Helper report. If you need anything else, just ask.

Sorry to double post but Your Drivers are WAY out of date? I am guessing you prob had newer/updated drivers before your virus...looks like you went back to your first ones that are OLD!!! Update these and report back.

After you update your drivers, I would strongly recommend updating Windows to Service Pack 3 as well. If for some reason you are vehemently opposed to updating to SP3, at least run all of the Security and Critical Updates from Windows Updates.

After that, I'd recommend setting your CCC and in-game video settings to those in the first post of Bill Z Bubba's stickied ATI Issues and Settings Recommendations thread found here in the Technical Issues & Bugs section of the forums.

Just at a quick glance at your in-game settings, I'd recommend the following:

Disable Vertical Sync
Set Maximum Particles to 25050
Disable Anisotropic Filtering
Set Water Effect to either Off or Low
Disable Bloom
Disable Depth of Field

Those are just adjustments of the in-game settings that I see at a quick glance. Bill's thread covers the WHY as well, and also has the CCC settings you should use.

Once you have it running stable, tweak one setting at a time, keeping in mind the problems notated in Bill's thread.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Wonder if he is coming back?
