City Of Heroes: Client Performance Profiler

SuperMartin, Cryptic Studios Programmer, stopped by today with another visit to the Client Performance Profiler Thread to answer yet another question.

BetaGreen, a player from the City of Heroes community asks:

Hi Martin, I was wondering how does this thing handles crashes/freezes/lock-ups? I.e. I have a problem I am trying to isolate that causes my entire comp to lock-up after 2-3 minutes, with a hard reboot the only option. Being that you have to stop it, I imagine that if a comp locks up it won't help?

SuperMartin responed:

If you reboot your computer, then you'll lose whatever was buffered to write to the disk (and you may lose the whole file). A crash should allow it to finish writing. A system lockup I can't say for sure, because it's not clear if the CoH game client is still running in any capacity. But you can definitely try it, and we'll see if it contains any helpful information.

Here's the thread
