[Solution] Game crashing after selecting Multiplayer

[Campaigner]

I have never had any problems with CoH MP. Until 7h ago....clicked MP (in MC) and game crashed. Tried again, game crashed again. At first I thought it was since I accidentally installed vCoH and thought it had screwed up some files. BOY were I wrong!

Now started a 3h errorsearching session that consisted of the following

Uninstalling and reinstalling MC and CoH

Verifying gamecaches about six times

defragging and optimising the systemdrive

Finally I try vCoH MP and it crashes as well. Now I believe it doesn't got anything to do with MC! Progress people!

I do a googlesearch and find that the problem is widespread and has started only recently. And I find a solution.


Empty your playback folder in Users/My Documents/My Games/


I'm posting this so others can find the solution immedietly. And also so the MC developers don't get blamed for this (like I was thinking of doing )

Yup. Actually it's not the playback folder, it's the "temp.rec" that's killing everyone. If you crash on clicking Mulitplayer or Operations, do the same thing and delete it.

But I didn't have a temp.rec in my playbackfolder :/

But I didn't have a temp.rec in my playbackfolder :/

folder settings show hidden system files.

same error as him when my father played the Campaign it works out perfectly but when the assault begins (force recon has done their mission) it says fatal scar error exemption or something like that
