direct assit crash

[happykillmore]

when i try to go to forum from the et game it just crashes any reason why?

[Xernicus]

What server were you exiting from when you clicked our forum button? (This will help us narrow down the specific mod)
-or-
Were you trying to use Alt+Tab to switch from ET to your browser when it crashed?

[Shana]

Xerni, some uis are outdated and don't have correct code for it to work(invalid final url or no confirmation window). I've sent new menus to DD some time ago. I think he'll update all when we get new silent.

The one in etmain should work.

Even if the URL might be broken but that shouldn't crash your ET for our current servers.

 

So if your ET is crashing, you got a problem Houston. Can you please provide crash screenshot?

yeah i will try to get a screen shot it does it kind of fast but then the page goes blank

Can you reach the forums without the use of the in-game button? If so, you can very easily avoid the problem by closing ET (/quit) and manually visit the website. One mustn't ask for a solution for a problem easily diverted, is my thought.

If you use the logfile feature, it might capture something about why ET quit.

 

When you join Recruiting, you can do a /set logfile 1  (or might need a /seta logfile 1) and after ET ends, you will find "etconsole.log" in your etmain folder.  It gets erased when each new ET session starts.  You can save a copy, even if ET is still running, by just using the right-click copy & paste.

 

The very end of the file may have something about the ending of ET, or might just end with a cutoff word, like the second example below.

 

This is my normal ending: 

----- CL_Shutdown -----
RE_Shutdown( 1 )
Shutting down OpenGL subsystem
...wglMakeCurrent( NULL, NULL ): success
...deleting GL context: success
...releasing DC: success
...destroying window
...resetting display
...shutting down QGL
...unloading OpenGL DLL

This is an abnormal end of an ET session:  (the last line is not finished)
