Butters needs HELP Game Crashes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EVIL BUTTERS]

OK,  here we go..........I have never had this problem before.  When I play it just makes a kind of static jerk and I'm right back to desktop.  Sometimes I can play for 20 miuntes no problem.  Sometimes right when I connect and get into game it crashes.  I can be in spec and it crashes.   I downloaded ET Legacy  same shit happens.  I Downloaded it on steam and same shit happens.  I can play any game on steam without a problem.  DId Graphics test memory tests switch ssd's.  Reinstalled windows.  Reinstalled ET on 2 different SSd's....  I cant figure out whey it crashed me all the time now????????????Help the Old Bastard Please!!!!!!!!SUCK IT

 I've had this happen for a few weeks now. Playing fine and in a blink, back to the desktop, with no error, ETL on Archlinux/KDE, so it's not OS related.

I will say that I’ve noticed a lot of people lately are “timing out” on Jay 1. Maybe something was changed recently. Does this happen on other servers? I’d try to recreate the crash on a different server to see if it’s not isolated to Jay 1 🤔

Have you noticed if it is confined to a single map ?

this happened to me before, i change my com_hunkmegs to 512 and now works fine. 

com_hunkmegs is the RAM used for et game, so 512 MB ram used from PC

The odd thing, for me anyway, maybe Butters is the same is there's no lagging out or anything, no error message, just...gone! like i closed it as I would a Browser window

I think 512 is pretty standard.

i believe game comes with 128 as default hunkmegs, more than 128 is not really needed in frag maps imo, i do play large maps on etjump mod which needs 512 as minimum value.

not sure if you need more than 512 😄

It's on all maps most of the time.

That's really weird man, wish I could help you, but I'm a noob on this kind of stuff. Hopefully someone would help you soon.🙏

hunksmegs stock is 56  et wont use more than 192 . so going higher wont matter.

I got 128 Hunkmegs "latched " 512

have you checked to see if maybe you have windows updates and  what are the spec on your  pc i had this happen before  i think mine was bc my virus protection was blocking a part of  the install if i'm not mistake it didn't like punkbuster for some reason 

[mraw435]

First two steps I would try are (given this seems to be ET specific after talking on jay1):

 

1.) Run the pk3 cleaner - 

 

2.) Add in your default config: "seta logfile 1"

 

Example:

 

 

Then search *.log in your jaymod folder, example: 

 

Pending what the log says after your game crashes -- we can potentially identify what is casuing the crash all the time

read what billdoe posted.  hunk zone and sound are latched . if its not set in load perimeter line its not what  number u set it too in  ur cfg.

 

now days we all have massive amounts of ram .  compared too 20 yrs ago so u can set higher will it use it nope! hunk  is how fast a map will load.
