[brett friggin favre]

been playing wcs today and 5 times now the game has just randomly crashed. it just totally exits, doesn't freeze, no error message, it just disappears. and i cannot figure out why. anyone got any suggestions?

edit: seems to only happen in wcs

Ram issue?

Ram issue?

shouldn't be, since it's only wcs. could run a memtest though.

Maybe it's making a call to something you don't have? Does your syslog say anything?

[What]

WCS has been causing issues, between the loss of sounds, random crashes, mod crashes, and weird vote shit, it may be time for a tune up.

no problems with memory, removed all wcs files and re-downloaded, checked cache, still no luck. crashes within 15 minutes or so in-game on wcs.

[What]

I've gotten the blue screen of death twice in the last week playing wcs now, thats just fucked up

i had that. and last time i checked, it was because of some weapon custom skin or a character hd skin...
basically when the skin fucks up, it crashes.


why in wcs? because unlike most servers your play on, there's an alpha invisibility variable and skin coloring (hellsdemon, shadow invul etc.) that targets the skin and recolors it / makes it transparent.
so if the skin you have lacks any preemptive alpha component to it, it crashes ur game
ex: i had to scrap my joker/spiderman/ DC universe skins, which barely lasted 2 days btw, because the joker had no alpha transparency, and it would make all humans completely invisible the entire map, and then the spidey one would crash my game for some reason...


tl'dr:
delete all ur skins,,, ALL OFF THEM, and re-start building them from scratch, but only one at a time (hell, u can even back them up and just progressively add on to your live version) until your game starts crashing again, it would be THAT skin that u need to scrap, for good, like i did.

i haven't installed any skins since i last reformatted.
