Warface Closed Beta is having issues with MSI Afterburner

This info maybe solve problems for those who just start to play Warface Closed Beta and have constant crashing right after they start game. I've installed Warface yesterday, russian version from: http://wf.mail.ru/ ...+ english language pack from: http://www.xboxmb.com/forum/10-general-discussion/107298-how-play-warface-english.html ...and right from the start I had stability issues in game, couldn't even get into the match, crash after crash. Best I could get is to load game to the main manu and few seconds after entering main menu: crash again! Some guys are suggest to configure or turn off Windows Firewall, but Windows Firewall on my gaming rig (Win7 64bi. Ultimate SP1) is turned off because I have installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 build 12.0.0.374 with integrated Firewall much better than Windows Firewall. I've tried to make some custom settings for Firewall integrated in KIS 2012 for all *.exe files in "relationship" with game: gamecenter@mail.ru.exe warfaceloader.exe pcnsl.exe Game.exe ) but that didn't helped one bit and game was crashing constantly again. Then I've completely turned off MSI Afterburner 2.1.0 (I'm using it to overclock my graphic card) and after that game started to work perfectly stabile! Problem is obvious not in GPU overclocking, my graphics card overclocked by MSI Afterburner is working perfectly in every other game and has crazy cooling sistem on GPU. It seems that this Beta version of Warface has some compatibility issues (or restrictions) with MSI Afterburner (and maybe similar GPU overclocking software like: Gigabyte OC Guru, Sapphire TriXX or EVGA Precision). Maybe problems can exist also if you are using some kind of gameplay recording software like Fraps, but I didn't have enough time to test if game would cause same problems when Fraps is started in background. This is my experience, maybe this can be helpful to someone with same issues. Now with MSI Afterburner completely turned off game is working like a charm.

Dude no recording program works with the game, no antivirus works with the game. Check the other threads on here we all have same problems, the only thing that works is my livestream for recording:

I tested 5 different recording programs, none of them work, Fraps, Dxtory, Mirillis, MSI, Bandicam. :)

Any application that hooks itself to the process will likely cause a crash.

I've also read some where that overclocking causes issues but they were in small number of instances.
