Haha BF2 is on this article
That's the funniest thing ever. Tell you what, I'll leave it on, because it's so true. BF2 is the definition of CTD. --Coolbho3000 01:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I looked up this article after I just CTD'd from BF2. Whoever put it there has a good sense of humor. Unicyclopedia 04:33, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Well I'll remove it now because they fixed the problem in 1.4. DICE deserves a break don't they? --Coolbho3000 16:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I haven't had a single crash yet since 1.4. I have to say GJ to them. Unicyclopedia 05:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

3ds max is said to have CTD crashes?
I've heard some years since 2000 that 3ds max closes abnormally without displaying an error message of some sort. Can I put this info in this article? Starkiller88 16:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm removing this list because (1) something you heard like that is probably not encyclopedic/verifiable (a specific reference would help) and (2) a list containing 1 program makes it seem like it's either the only example or the most significant example. I don't think such a list really adds to the content of the article anyways. If there are only one or two programs that you can use as example then it's probably best to work it into the article text rather than create a separate list. &mdash;DemonThing talk 08:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

No sources, but...
The article is pretty accurate. Its purpose would most likely be to describe what a CTD is to someone who has not heard the term before or is not very familiar with computers, and I think it provides the necessary information. It's hard to provide sources for something like this because what the article describes is something most users are familiar with by empirical observation. CTD's are as ubiquitous as the poorly programmed software that produces them, making this pretty much self-evident. CyberRaptor (talk) 22:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed. It's such a layman's experience I doubt there will be sources outside of mere gamer discussion. Somehow, I don't think anyone will be writing a book about it, so it's going to be difficult to find a credible source. 69.245.89.129 (talk) 19:29, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Supposed "new feature" in XP and Vista?
The article claims that "Windows Vista has a new feature that can help track down the cause of a CTD problem when it occurs on any program. Windows XP also included a similar feature as well," but does not elaborate any further. What feature? Details please. —Lowellian (reply) 02:47, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
