if the server crashes you lose the points if your PC dies you keep them

i reckon you have either a hardware/driver problem or more likely an overheating of proc or gfx card
try looking at event viewer in control panel and check what the error msg is, it could give you the answer

I have nights like this with 2142 sometimes I go weeks with no ctd's then the game will ctd like 2 or 3 times in one night.The last patch did cure 1 ctd problem that I had was when ever I dropped a spawn beacon I would ctd to desktop.I read somewhere that disabling voice chat in game cured a lot of ctd's also.

maybe re-apply the patch making sure you have more than 3-4 gig of hd space free

is it only 2142 that is crashing to desktop ?

i tried event viewer and it gives a DCOM error at the times of crash something to do with clsid? i cant really fathom it out at all

My son has has had much the same problems on his PC since the latest patch, was running fine till then, but now constant CTD's at random moments, sometimes he can play without a problem for a hour or two, others he gets 5 mins before it crashes, gonna try a re-install see if it does any good
