Build 267 crash makes game unplayable

nidzo

Hello. I started the game after not playing it for few months. The game is unplayable as it keeps crashing on servers with ns2 mode. I have tried playing on a combat server and the game runs fine. When the game crashes I get this upload log.txt and minidump.dmp message. I have checked log.txt and no clues there really. minidump.dmp gave me a clue to try to install the game on the same hardrive as the steam and not in the second harddrive as the Except Information in the dump was "The thread tried to read from or wrtie to a virtual adress for which it does not have the appropriate access." After fresh reinstall the game crashed after few minutes of playing with the same anoying message about sending the files to the developers. I have also tried sending these files to developers where the it goes on and on and never ends. I am unable to play this game like this so please I need help in fixing this problem. I can also add that is crashed just as I am about to spawn! Thank you in advance.

Some new info. I tried debuggins in VIsual Studio and this is what it has shown.

Hi.
In NS2 Options->General disable Show Hints and Commander Help.

Thank you for the answer but I did that already and the crashing still remains the same.

Try another server and wait for 268 =(

ETA on 268 then?

We're hoping to get 268 out ASAP. We're in code-lockdown atm.
