If you have found out the specific setting that causes the computer to not go into S3 please comment it on this post.computer will not go into S3 standby Windows Vista. Combat Arms crashs after map load or after a certain repeatable function. Fix: Turn off Mumble Overlay. If that does not work turn off any program that uses directx rendering, e.g.
Steam, Mumble, Xfire, etc. Thanks to Snipes for the solution. Also, if you are using Xfire voice chat and playing Combat Arms, this could also trigger the bug. Seems to be triggered by Combat Arms' change from one part of the program to the other when the screen goes black after the round ends to go back to the menu. Most games to not do this and apparently there is some sort of rendering break that causes other programs to interfere with the process and make Combat Arms crash.
