I've been using a custom user.cfg off the forums for higher quality graphics. However, some of the textures flicker and it was ******* me off. So I completely got rid of user.cfg to see if it fixed it. It did, however my game client started crashing in 75% of matches. Before this I hadn't had a single game crash this patch. I narrowed it down to the following setting:

Add this to your user.cfg

e_streamCgf = 0

Now no more crashes. I went a step further though and debugged the game client to see why/how it was crashing. It's a memory access violation, details below. I'll send in a ticket, but I'm putting it here to help out anybody seeing frequent crashes.

Hey man I've been getting random crashes a lot probably average 1 in 3 games for about the last 6 weeks. I just did what you said and played 8 games crash free in a row so either I'm really lucky tonight or you're a genius.

Cool, glad it helped. There's definitely a crash bug there, I'm just not sure how many people are affected by it.

What does this setting do?

e_streamCgf = 0

It fixes a crash, and according to http://freesdk.cryde...OGEN/ESTREAMCGF it also disables streaming of static render meshes.

jeffsw6, there's a disturbing lack of machine gun spider in your sig, I'm disappointed

I'm back to good old crashing like mad again o well was good while it lasted.

Edit: Maybe i had an unlucky night or maybe i needed to do a restart after patching or something but besides that day its been a lot better than i'm used to. Still a crash every now and again but your fix is still made a clear improvement in the frequency cheers.

Hmm, still works for me. Maybe it's at least related to other CTD issues though and that will help them track down the root cause.

new EIP/registers of crash location for new client:

[DreyfussFrost]

Didn't help me, crashed on the first game

[Big STRETCH]

was having this problem tried everything to fix it. Finally found out playing through a vpn 100% solves this problem not a crash since.

I don't know how or why it works but it does.

the most recent batch of crashes are of a different ilk, thus far all I've seen that could help is reinstalling but I imagine the devs are working hard at solving this nasty one.

i want my light to always be at the lowest possible level in every mech.

[DeerSpotter]

[KurtSture]
