cs:s randomly crashing

[CYBER]

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

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.

Ahh... Out of curiosity when u crash urgame, does it give u an error? Or just closes silently?

When it crashes, do other people :,
1- see u in the game afk? (This happens to me)
2- see u IN GAME (green steam status?)
3- offline? Etc

Is the process (hl2.exe) running still?

Do u ever get the top right (lost connection to server),for a few seconds too?

Does it sting when you pee?
