<div class="IPBDescription">Noticed in build 190, still occuring.</div>I have posted a bug report for a random Crash To Desktop I've been getting when buying a weapon at the Armory.
I thought I'd post the link to the report here, so if anyone else is having the same issue, there is no need to make an extra report, just add to mine, with any further info you may have.

cheats 1 = (enables cheats, allows you to start a match with one person)
tres = (gives you 100 tres)
pres = (gives you 100 pres)
autobuild = instantly builds dropped structures
In particular, if you find a specific weapon or button (or any series of action) that causes the CTD each time you do them, it would be much easier to fix.

I had 32 res and I bought a shotgun. The first time I bought a shotgun in this game there was no crash. I had 34 res the time before and 32 by the time of the 2nd purchase, where it did crash.
As I have explained, it seems random. When I've clicked the button to buy the weapon, without pressing any other keys, it occassionally happens. When pressing left to walk away from the machine is sometimes happens. I'm never jumping or anything. The only thing I am doing is clicking on the purchase shotgun, and possibly pressing one of the 'awsd' movement keys.
The best way to describe it is the second I click the button to buy shotgun, before it switches and appears in my hands the screen goes instantly black and straight back to desktop. I may be moving the mouse slightly too when I click the button, but I am not moving out of the view angle of the armory.
I can't nail it down in my testing, but hopefully you can better catch it from this information. I'll keep trying to produce a single set of circumstances. I haven't been able to reproduce on my own in a listen server yet, only in-game.

In my experience the End-Game crash is completely different. My machine just hangs, well NS2 hangs, frozen in place in screen and I have to ctrl>alt>delete out, or occasionally reset the PC. The armory crash is a straight to desktop, completely different in my own experience of them.
