Computer Problems during BGA games - experiences and any preventative advice to offer?

Post by mabarnes81 »

What experiences have people had with their computers failing on them in the middle of games? I've played many games on BGA perfectly fine, but the past couple sessions I have had here my computer has suddenly stopped working. I will say that I do use an older computer and have had problems with some more graphically demanding games on Steam along with time doing a LOT of video-heavy computing. With that said, I am only now starting to have similar problems here on BGA and had not had them before.

Have you found BGA related problems to happen more often in certain situations than others - say running multiple programs versus only having the BGS browser window? Did you have a problem that perhaps required a default program or process to be closed? Any other cause/effect relationships you have observed regarding BGA and computer failure?

What type of problems? A browser crash or a full-on computer shutdown?

I don't run any resource-intensive programs while I'm on BGA, but I do have plenty of open tabs and have never experienced any serious issues.

You can't 100% prevent a computer crash, but if it is rare it will not have a large impact on your reputation. You can jump to your smartphone to continue the game when your computer crash. If it happens often, check your computer components, like Ram memory tests.
