This is with the latest mod...im playing 15 minute quarters cpu vs cpu...maybe something with the substitutions?


Nevermind that was premature. There was 1:32 remaining in the 4th and then it crashed to the desktop on XP.

Sounds like something is corrupted..game,roster, Mod files....etc.
The only thing I would do is total wipe out everything dealing with madden, run a registry cleaner make sure all files are gone. Reboot your computer, reload Madden08, then the No-CD Mainapp and make a porofile. Make sure all that works..then load FF/FI Mod, put everything in the right places. Check to see if everything is ok... Then load a new Calhoupe scripts..see what happens then.. it should be fine..

But if it's not working on XP, 7, or 10... leads me to believe there's some file corruption on the disc, or maybe a failing storage drive.

So I installed ubuntu and used wine to install madden 08...crash after huddle
formatted 2 computers and reinstalled Windows XP, 7, 10....crash after huddle
I even re-downloaded madden 08 from Amazon....crash after huddle

That's just crazy how this can only be happening to me.

Different laptops and desktops,

Do you have all the Microsoft Net Frameworks? 2 ?, 3 ?, 4.5?

Could having the 3 OS on one computer causing conflicts with the game?

Yep, all .net frameworks installed.
I tried on 2 laptops and I desktop.
Formatted each so not running more than one OS either time.

It seems like a processor problem, i finally managed to play a couple of games without a single crash. Here what i did:

1- Launch Madden 08
2- Alt+Tab
3- Open task manager
4- In processes right click on mainapp.exe
5- Set affinity
6- Uncheck everything except UC 0
7- Return to the game

If you are tech savvy you might also want to clean out the fan/ventilation ports on your laptop/desktops. Sometimes dust can clog the fans and overheat the CPU causing madden to crash. I had this problem with a 10 year old laptop back several years ago and once I cleaned it and put some new cooling compound on the processor/gpu. Madden ran fast and never crashed again. Just something else to consider.. :)
For help running madden please consult my guide and posts from fellow users here....thanks! (link below) viewtopic.php?f=22&t=17907
I'm not on site much, so if I don't respond it's b/c I haven't checked in a while.

You re-pasted your GPU? Doing it to the CPU is easy, but I've never even thought about doing it to the GPU. Don't want to mess with a part that is so expensive.

But yeah, cleaning out dust and applying some fresh compound can be a good fix to issues that may be caused by overheating. Especially if the compound is a few years old. But if you want to be sure it's a heat issue before you unscrew your CPU cooler, you could always run a program that monitors CPU heat while you're playing Madden, and see if it heats up a lot at any point. Generally, with any modern Intel CPU, you're fine as long as you're under 95 C, but 80 C and lower is the safest zone to be in. For AMD, I'm not certain what their max temp is before throttling sets in, but a quick search should give the answer.
