CheepHeep Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Just for the record, on silent mod, upon starting ET and joining a server for the first time, it crashes to the main menu. NQ, it doesnt seem to crash (tried on nq1) and on jaymod, it crashes to the desktop. I have had this on my main ET installation for about 5 months now. On my other installations, I don't seem to have the issue. /vid_restart seems to be the only fix so far, so I just bound it to a key so i dont have to type it out each time. /bind [ vid_restart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader rambozo37 Posted January 26, 2020 Leader Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I swapped my etmain folder from an installation to another. The only thing I took from my original etmain folder was my profile and etkey. Doesn't crash anymore. And my second installation started to crash. So its something in the etmain folder. I re-placed the original etmain folder and then: I started to take away all cfg's = didn't work Replaced all application extension = didn't work Took away all pk3's (not maps) = didn't work Took away all maps that was not in my second installation (removed a total of 81 maps) = worked! So its either there's to much files or its one particular map.pk3 IDK yet. Will do some more testing and edit this post. But I doubt it is a map in particular. I just don't get it, what does maps has to do with game crashing when pressing chat or ESC buttons....

PikeKiller Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I had the same problem a few days ago after playing NQ when was gameday, the next day it happened on the sailent and jaymod server. it helped that I deleted the game and extracted the game from my archive. so it's worth having a few copies of the game in case of similar errors.

I suspect that it may be a file from a given mod (cfg) which does not work on others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheepHeep Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 That could be why I dont crash on nq but I do on silent and jaymod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took out all the cfg's and it didn't work. I re-placed them all then started to remove maps and then it worked. But have to say me to its after gameday since I never had this problem before. I just logged on NQ then got back to B2 no crash. Edited January 26, 2020 by rambozo37 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Solution rambozo37 Posted January 26, 2020 Leader Solution Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) ok after multiple tests I found this file to be the one making my game crash In etmain folder > fa_baserace_v1.pk3 I removed 81 maps earlier and then my game was not crashing anymore. I slowly re-add the maps until I get a crash and narrow it down to this map. So now I replaced all 80 maps except this one and my game is ok. Every time I put it back it crashes. Just to make sure I removed all 80 maps again and just put that one and get a crash. If I am not wrong I got that maps from NQ Edited January 26, 2020 by rambozo37 6 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that you got that map when visiting NQ#1 for the last GameDay on January 18th? The first post in this topic was 7 January... OKAY, as Cheep pointed out, I was talking about the v2-version, while Rambozo was talking about the older v1-version! I don not have the v1-version and thus had no problems... Everybody can remove their v1-versions, as that will not be played on FA anymore. I remember playing baserace on NQ at gameday. I did not have any problems before gameday so I am 100% sure I got it there.

CheepHeep Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 @RedBaird I still believe you are mixing maps up Its fa_baserace_v1 not fabase_v2. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
