MMM, a quick trawl though the windows error logs shows the reasons for the crash to be Physxcore.dll , R6vegas2_game.exe ,msvcr80.dll no doubt there are others too, but i have observed a simultaneous GPU whilst hosting a game, 2 other players who where in my game saw exactly the same crash, then within seconds the ubi server failed to authenticate games or was off-line resetting it 'self a strange series of events to just be a co -incidence don't ya think? well i suppose we should be thankful that it no longer still generates a 7gb dump file each time it happens , as it did after release,

I seems to have managed to fix the general protection fault, however, I'm not entirely sure that this is an actual solution. I have an Intel Core i5-2400 CPU and I haven't been able to play with my friends for months now (they have no problem with multiplayer (except the usual stucking gun sound, occasional dc from ubi and "failed to initialize network service" messages)). Yesterday I had a hunch and disabled the Intel VMM virtualization option in the bios (that I enabled a few months ago to test windows 8) and I haven't had the general protection fault on login since then (so I'm back to my original "connection to the host has been lost" problem with all required ports open and forwarded so I still can't play multiplayer but at least there's no exception now.) Hope it helps!

I checked the support FAQ on this and it wasn't there. I recommend you contact them about this. You can find the link at the bottom of my signature. Sorry for the inconvenience.

A friend who has been joining my server for over the past 12mths maybe longer, recently started getting a GPF each time he attempted to log in to play multilayer, but could play single player without issues , after double checking the ports hadn't been changed and where actually open i suggested a re boot of the router , problem fixed for a few days , but it returned, and fixed it's self, so this could suggest that the GPF 's or some at least are network related , maybe the poorly written net code used ? as with UPNP enabled in game or the router there's no way the router should cause a GPF
