Company of Heroes Message Board  

Everytime I play as the Germans my computer restarts itself,
Not straight away though, I use The Mega trainer, thinking it might be the porblem, my computer says no reason found. It goes off when I select Build options and when I press the medals button on Campaign. Comments Please...

Yeah my computer restarts itself also, but not when im playing specifically germans. It also crashes like every 20-30 minutes of gameplay but since I toned down the graphics to zero except for physics being max, its been nicer and crashes every hour. Says RelicCOH.exe error?. Of all the trainers ive abused in 6 years of gaming, ive seen worse. So i guess i just suck it up and send Relic 1000 bug reports a day hehe.

Nah, Doesn't Work. I could use a different comment though.

Has anybody try going into the game options and running a test and that might help you with some of the problems that you are having. try shutting down as must stuff that is running in the background. this is from the readme file


There are several ways to improve the performance of Company of Heroes on min and mid-spec systems, all accessible through the Options menu:

Choosing the Auto selection in the options menu will adjust the settings to best fit your hardware. If that does not work try some of the following:

- Reduce the resolution -- Select a lower resolution from the drop-down menu.
- Reduce the Texture Detail -- Select a lower Texture Detail setting from the menu.
- Reduce the Terrain Detail -- Select a lower Terrain Detail setting from the menu.
- Reduce the level of Shadow detail -- Select a lower Shadows Detail setting from the menu.
- Reduce the Model detail -- Select a lower Model Detail setting from the menu.
- Reduce the FX detail -- Select a lower FX Detail setting from the menu.

Tried that before, no luck, thinking it may be my Graphics Card.

It probably is hardware related.

Have you guys checked your system logs?

control panel>administrative tools>event viewer>

Look in there for a figure resembling "0x000008e"

That was the instance I had. Try googling yours as I seen mine pointed to either the pagefile sys or ram. If this is your problem(probably is) i suggest memtest86 to test your ram. If that checks out ok and you have around 2gb of ram you can also try not even using a pagefile OR just delete the pagefile you have now under: Right click my computer>properties>advanced tab>Virtual memory catagory>change button>click no page file system and reboot. Go thru the same step to reactivate upon your reboot.

COH is a very demanding game. Even mismatched or cheap ram can cause this!

Problem Solved, Thanks, I now play as the Germans. Finally noticed they suck, only good part is the MG34 Light MG.

hey im having the same problem, my computer will restart about 10 minutes in the game whether its a skrimish or campaign. does anyone know how to fix it?
