Still Crashes at Exit

[zBobG]

Patch 1.2 now starts up without the DVD trick or without turning off SetPoint, but GRID still crashes at exit.

My graphics settings are all pretty much set to high/ultra except headlights on medium. I will try some different settings to see if that helps - don't think so.

GRID otherwise seems to run fine - no stuttering, freezes or mid-game crashes, no bad behavior at all.

Same error as patch 1.1:
Faulting application grid.exe, version 1.2.0.0, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.5512, fault address 0x0001b1fa.

e6600+2Gb+9800GTX @ 1680x1050+nv177.41+nvPhysX 8.06.12+X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro on WinXP SP3.

Try this, this might help:

I patched from 1.1 to 1.2 and still got the annoying error on shutdown :(

So, I uninstalled the game, reinstalled it, and then added 1.2 patch only.
Has done the trick nicely ;)

Do you have to uninstall v1.1 patch first? (http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4239065#post4239065 )

Edit: Hmm seem a reboot of computer after installing v1.2 patch over v1.1 is best thing to do.

This is resolved, at least I think so.

After a re-boot of Windows and nothing much else run before the game, GRID now does not crash at exit.

I had just installed GRID patch 1.2 and tried it immediately without a Windows re-boot. That may have caused the problem. In that same Windows session I had also been testing quite a few other games. There may have been some random garbage left in Windows memory that caused a problem.

Anyway, a Windows re-boot seems to have fixed the crash at exit. Sorry for all the excitement.

I get the crash at exit still too. Installed patch on top of 1.1 and played without a reboot. Will try this evening to see if a Shutdown and reboot helps.

Identically SAME for me. I too got repeated Grid.exe crashes on exiting the game after v1.2 patching UNTIL I rebooted, now no more crashes on exiting Grid. I installed v1.2 patch over a previously v1.1-patched GRID on my G: partition, patch installer did not get confused by G: vs. C: drive as some others reported elsewhere.

Observation (NOT a problem): On exit from GRID, my PC pauses at the Exit screen, hard disk LED lit solid for 8-12 seconds (dunno what its doing, maybe rewriting the 2GB swap/paging file?), then quiescient return to desktop. All is well, thanks Codies for the v1.2 patch!

Confirmed here too - after reboot, no more exit issues.
