AC crashing since changing to a different monitor

[Philoski]

Hey, weird issue. I recently switched to another monitor I had 'lying around', there is absolutely nothing wrong with this monitor. I'm running Windows XP SP3 with monitor settings at a resolution of 1440x900. Why the hell am I telling you my monitor settings if AC is crashing? Good question. But AC started crashing when I started using this monitor.

I thought it was just some weird error caused for reasons unknown, so I wiped Windows and did a clean install after getting sick of trouble-shooting.

But the problem has persisted. So I think it's a weird bug in AC since I'm running a "clean" install of Windows XP with all drivers installed, I tried running it with both original and updated video drivers and it made no difference. AC crashes at the end of each match and/or whenever I take a screenshot.

I have no intention of switching back to my old 1280x1024 monitor. That's not a suitable fix for me.

Doesn't look useful to me but here's the log after it crashes:

what you have now (JPG) - jpg has been giving us pains since .. forever. :-/

That "at the end of each match" is probably because you have autoscreenshot enabled.

@flowtron: We could as well just remove it, it seems to cause crashes on about half of all (windows?) systems. PNG is better anyway.

Doh! So much for all my "trouble-shooting" :P

@tempest: Disabling screenshots did the trick. Thanks.

@flowtron: Other screenshot types work just fine, which makes jpg the culprit. As you both suspected. Hah.

Cheers guys.
