CrashUpload.exe duplicating itself multiple times after game crash
|
So yesterday when i played my game suddenly crashed to window's desktop. Soon after i've noticed this:
 My task manager was literally filled with CrashUpload.exe copies. Looked pretty scary... Last edited by btz#1593 on May 25, 2012, 2:32:43 PM

How long has it been since you restarted your computer, and do you have a firewall or other security program that could be blocking the CrashUpload program?
So far I haven't found any reason why multiple copies of CrashUpload would start. I can only speculate that something is blocking the program so it never finishes/closes, and that the CrashUpload processes are all hanging around from previous play sessions. On the other hand if you have only started the game once or twice since you last restarted your computer then there must be something else wrong here and I will continue to investigate. | |

I'm using avast! antivirus software, it tends to block unknown processes yes, so it might be it. For firewall i'm using standard Windows 7 Pro 64bit thing, nothing fancy.
I was just playing, PoE crashed, i quickly started it again because i was in party when i finished playing i noticed it. Restarted windows and it was gone of course, but it wasn't some sort of five day old windows "session" or something. So no, windows was "fresh" when i started PoE. And yeah, after crash no crash report window to pop up. Last edited by btz#1593 on May 25, 2012, 2:33:36 PM

I just encountered this problem.
I had been playing for about an hour and I hadn't been playing since I last restarted the computer. I had just entered The Cave in Act 2 Cruel, when the game froze up, but the music continued playing. I managed to open task manager and discovered there were over 250 CrashUpload.exe*32 processes running.  As you can see, almost all of my RAM was gone, causing Windows to slow to a crawl. I killed Client.exe, and CrashUpload.exe seemed to stop spawning, and some of the processes started terminating slowly, but I had to kill most of them by hand. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 with 4GB RAM, 8GB page file and a Radeon 5570HD. I checked Windows Firewall and MSE logs, and didn't find anything. |
