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

Thank you so much mate

 

I was also getting crashes in Beg#2 every time my pointer went over the VOTE button (in menu).

Only problem now is I lost all my XP, since I deleted Silent mod thinking I could redownload it to fix the issue...

Any chance of adding a note to NQ1 as still getting a few peeps asking about crashes when pressing T, Y , Esc.......obviously if i'm on and notice i'll tell them but a note on server chat just advising to delete the map from etmain for the time being will help the odd few who don't visit forum often etc.

@GHARIB Only NQ worked for me ,jay,etpro,and silent crashed.But silent didnt throw me after crash to desktop.

Running win 10 version 1903 (OS 18362.535) ,well i dont really know when it started ,like 2 months ago . I think maybe something jaymod or etmain folders ? because i just got new laptop ,and i took those folders from old PC ,and installed ET 

i had the same friday (had been messing with loads of different configs)

moved all config files out of every mod and main (and also removed them from each mods profile folder)  

(did delete a  'name.pid' file from one mod profile folder

loaded a fresh > options > system > recommended   then added back a very light config 

seta name ^3Forest^5Cat

set cg_drawFPS "1"

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//1080p

suspect corrupt .cfg or .pid file

@forestcat You only needed to delete the map fa_baserace.pk3 as that was causing the issue.

Thats way too many maps. Good idea to have a monthly clear out, anymore than 40 maps can cause lags and crashes.
