Crashing game & visible sprites

MrCoala

Hi,

my game keeps crashing from time to time and i tried EVERYTHING - even a fresh install.

However from time to time the sprites are not invisible they are blue / light blue squared. Alien walls are not textured properly i only see the blue/lightblue texture. Looking at players -> they are invisible & visible is the blue/lightblue texture again. This bug occurs after map changes and leads to crash.

here is a part of my log file.

The "send report" dialog appeared often and i always used it to transfer the actual log.
Hopefully someone can help me / tell me if these bugs will be fixed soon.

The game is unplayable for me right now because of the constant game crashes :(

Okay, the game just crashed again for no reason and log.txt doesnt have any entry that would explain crash
except Error loading file ''

What texture settings are you using ? - try setting everything to low / off as applicable (leave multicore rendering on), and see if that helps :-}

If you manage to load the game, type r_stats in the console, and it'll give you an idea of the texture memory in use etc.
