game exits after about 2 mins. of play in avamods server

[Sim]

hey guys. im back at home so i have a half-decent connection now. but i cant play on the server.

after a minute or two, DoD freezes briefly, then exits back into windows. steam doesnt crash. it only does this in this server.

perhaps theres a plugin my computer is having trouble dealing with? is there anyway i can record the final lines of data before the crash? looking in your direction optic haha...

thanks.

I am having a similar problem 2nite. I join the server and get to the splash screen (where the animals are sitting around the buddha) and then the game shuts down all the way.

hmm strange.. in the logs it just shows you disconnecting..

nothing on the pc (like firewalls or anything) or anything with steam/dod has changed since the last time you were home and played (assuming it worked fine then...) ???


and for some reason i thought this was sorta happening to me (and maybe there was a few others) a couple months ago.. but i cant think at all what i might have done that made it go away...


hmm was it on the same map the whole time? or did it do it on different maps as well?



... you could always try a few things..

such as deleting the clientregistry.blob from the steam folder and re-logging into steam
delete and re-download the GCF files in the steam/steamapps folder (could try just the day of defeat one, but all the half-life ones are more then likely used as well)
..ive also heard problems of random crashes happening while running AIM.. so if you got that running.. could try closing AIM and then try playing..

alright cool. i'll try everything you suggested and i'll get back to ya.

thanks for the help man.

[diamond-optic]

well i see youve been on for over five minutes now.. maybe its working now? heh

[Sim]

hey diamond it still crashed after i deleted clientregistry.blob and re-login.

im gonna delete DoD and install it again and i'll let you know.

[diamond-optic]
